[QUOTE="hallergard, post: 508894, member: 97639"] Yes, you can control the mouse cursor and you can text/sms with a Hauppauge remote control, using the FirefoxIntegrator (FFI)! Enclosed are the relevant parts of my Hauppauge configuration file, irremote.ini, and an Excel file showing the mapping used. This applies to the 45 button silver Hauppauge remote control. If you configure MediaPortal (MP) to use the Hauppauge remote, you don't need any entries in the irremote.ini for MP, but the FFI will not respond at all. So configure MP to use Microsoft MCE instead! First you loose 12 buttons, and then you'll have to include a section with mappings for MP in the irremote.ini. Actually, most of the important functionality is still there for MP. As to FFI I was intending to use two application settings, one for my own firefox [mozilla] and one for FFI [firefox], and use the mode commands to steer. This was more difficult that I had anticipated, and though I got it working fairly well, I decided to only have one section [mozilla]. Had used the number keys to start various applications and these I now moved to the Picasa section. Had to make room for two additional keys for FFI (F3 for the SMS/Keyboard/Mouse toggle and "h" for the MP Home. Then I had a very nice surprise: on the Excel sheet you can see the empty spaces for keys not working with MP-MCE, but they did work with FFI. E.g. the button >>Forward cannot find a mapping in FFI but then Firefox picks it up and opens in a new window. I wanted the Prev Ch button to be F6 to move to the next frame, but FFI interprets F6 as Zoom In. So I had the bright idea to put F6 in one of the empty places, such as >>Forward, but alas it still Zooms In. I will try to learn how to hack the source code and to compile a new exe-file, to amongst others find a solution for the F6 command, as all the multi-media menus I have written in HTML are based on using frames.
