    Idealy you should only need a remote in which the MCE2005 remote w/ the teletext buttons is probably the best.

    If you need to type then a MCE2005 keyboard probably wouldnt hurt but mice arent greatly used on htpc so unless you really need one (for programs outside MP) then I wouldnt bother. I havent seen a generally recommended one as not of lot of people have them (or one model in particular).

    Yeah, you really only need the MCE Remote, as it can do everything within Media Portal. We also have the MCE Keyboard for normal Windows use, like iTunes and web browsing.

    MCE 2005 keyboard not working!!

    My remote is working fine but the letters and numbers on my MCE Keyboard wont work at all!
    does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix, would be handy for email, have a wired keyboard at the moment which defeats the purpose of the media centre.

    Thanks for explaining. I found a passing reference to this here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/HID%20Profiles which I had overlooked in the past. I would find it logical for a created custom profile to be automatically activated, but until that happens, I will try to create a wiki page for the current...

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

    Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...
