[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1109414, member: 141969"] This sounds like the "Ortek VRC-1100" remote control. This remote is also sold under other brand names, such as the "Adesso ARC-1100", the "Gmyle", and the "Hama 00052451". I have the Hama version (amongst other remotes). There is an MP XML configuration file specifically for this remote (it does not use "EventGhost"), but it is described in a German MP forum, so I am not that familiar with it (I do not use my Hama remote with MP -- I use a conventional MCE RC6 remote control). Download this file: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/centarea-hid-xml.153000/[/url] Rename the file from "Centarea_HID.xml" to "Centarea HID.xml" (i.e. change the underscore to a blank), and then place the file in the following folder (this is the folder on 32-bit Vista; it may have a slightly different name on your system): C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\InputDeviceMappings\ Finally, start "MP Configuration", and click "Remote" (left side bar): (1) On the "Microsoft MCE" tab, [i]deselect[/i] "Use Microsoft MCE remote or keyboard". (2) Click the "Sceneo" tab. (3) Select "Use Centarea Master Remote II". (4) Click "OK" to exit "MP Configuration". With luck, your remote will now control MP. By the way, you [i]must[/i] use the IR receiver that was sold with the Ortek remote (or its clones); you cannot use an IR receiver that was designed for Microsoft RC6 IR signals. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
