Thanks. - eskro - 2012-01-10 hahah, oh my, i need some sleep we are in the remote thread... this is what happens when u answer 1807 questions a day sorry - kenshomi - 2012-01-10 @eskro I am thinking of going with a Harmony remote instead of a IR tiny keyboard after reading this thread. I like being able to use the Esc key in XBMC, and like the C for the context menu a keyboard provides. How difficult would it be to program the Harmony to do something a $30 remote/keyboard does out of the box? trying to assess the level of effort vs $$. - eskro - 2012-01-10 its stress free kenshomi - Nexxo - 2012-01-10 kenshomi Wrote:@eskro I am thinking of going with a Harmony remote instead of a IR tiny keyboard after reading this thread. Its easy. You can setup the harmony to act exactly like a keyboard using the 'MCE keyboard' device. This then allows you to program any button on the logitech remote to any keyboard key. For example you set the 'exit' button to the 'esc' key, 'pause' to 'space', etc. More information is here - kenshomi - 2012-01-10 Thanks - the excuse I was looking for. Btw @eskro the spare parts box that my 11y/o daughter and I built with spare parts and a 210 nvidia card is running great. She always is telling my wife we are watching her machine. Your faqs and hardware write up rock! - eskro - 2012-01-10 Ftw!!!!!!!! - publicENEMY - 2012-01-10 Which of these remotes would you guys prefer? 1. http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/New-HP-Media-Center-receiver-microsoft-Remote-Control-/320735039422?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aad4c4fbe 2.http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/New-HP-MCE-Media-Center-Remote-Control-big-IR-RECEVE-/320687855790?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aaa7c58ae 3.http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Brand-new-HP-MCE-Media-Center-Remote-Control-IR-RECEVE-/230526919227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ac79a23b 4.http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/New-HP-MCE-Media-Center-Sony-Remote-Control-RM-MCE10E-/220877932141?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336d59c66d 5.http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/New-HP-MCE-Media-Center-Sony-Remote-Control-RM-MCE20E-/220877931254?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336d59c2f6 any experience with this seller? thanks. - eskro - 2012-01-10 http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/New-HP-Media-Center-receiver-microsoft-Remote-Control-/320735039422?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aad4c4fbe - coolasice - 2012-01-11 I have this one: worked great but caused my tv to powercycle when using it (Phillips LCD 5500 series TV) Switched to PS3 BD Remote 2.0 (integrated IR to control TV) - Laibr - 2012-01-11 I bought myself this one. Its a rii mini i6 irf Much like a boxee box remote. I'll give my experiences later. - [eFe] - 2012-01-26 Hi. I have one of these cheap pc remote controls. http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-USB-Remote-Control-Mouse/dp/B0050PUGZE/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1327586728&sr=8-16 It works ok with xbmc in general. But, now I want to buy a Harmony 650 to replace all 4 controls I have in my living room. My question is ... would the IR usb reciever that came with the pc remote control work with the harmony ? or do I have to buy one of those HP MCE IR recvs? - [eFe] - 2012-01-26 Laibr Wrote:I bought myself this one. Please, give your review on this Rii Mini i6 ! RE: Remote Controllers for XBMC - sparkBMC - 2012-01-26 I think the Boxee remote should be added as it is both functional and very easy to setup. EDIT: It has been discontinued so it is difficult to find one for sale now. - mikepegg - 2012-01-30 fyi they are taking pre-orders on the Nyxboard. http://pulse-eight.com/store/products/96-motorola-nyxboard-hybrid.aspx Quote:Now Taking Pre-Orders, shipping week commencing 5th March!!! |
