RE: IR / RF Remote Controls for Windows: Links to Explanations, Tutorials, and Guides - bmurphy2121 - 2012-07-04 With all these remotes that you have mentioned I really want to use a Logitech Harmony 900. What else do I need to make the 900 to work? RE: XBMC (Eden) + Cyberlink Remote + Windows 7 - navster - 2012-07-30 (2009-03-15, 14:36)steford Wrote: I'd like to add my experiences on getting the Cyberlink cheap remote (£5.99 Play.com) set up for use with XBMC using EventGhost. I would like to add an update to stetford's post on this subject as it is quite well written\indexed and I was unable to find a guide encompassing the advances in EventGhost since this post, which have made the process even simpler. My steps were as follows: 1. Install latest version of EventGhost with default options which at this moment in time is v. 0.4.1.r1572 2. On the right hand pane of EventGhost delete everything below the Start logo 3. Go to Configuration > Add Plugin > Remote Receiver > Cyberlink Universal Remote Control (let Windows update the driver) 4. Go to Configuration > Add Plugin > Program Control > XBMC2 5. Under the XBMC2 folder on the right hand pane expand the Buttons > Remote folder 6. Now press the required buttons on your remote one at a time to bring up the command on the left pane 7. Drag and drop the command from the left pane to the relevant function under the expanded right pane folder 8. Repeat steps 6-7 for all required buttons on your remote (I got to around 20 buttons) 9. Save the final configuration to an XML filename of your choice 10. Go to File > Options and select Autostart EventGhost to system startup 11. Launch XBMC > System > Network > Remote Control and select Allow programs on this system to control XBMC 12. Disable Windows Media Centre as this seems to interfere with some of the remote commands - Start > Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off > Media Features > Windows Media Center (uncheck) 13. You may add even further remote functionality under the EventGhost XBMC2 Actions folder, which I cannot remember the detail of right now. Feel free to PM me if you need further guidance on this area RE: IR / RF Remote Controls for Windows: Links to Explanations, Tutorials, and Guides - rossglass - 2012-08-01 Hi, I have a VRC 1100 remote and have got most of my mappings completed but the one thing I've struggled with is to add an entry to keyboard.xml which will assign a button to select the Windows start button. The reason why this would be handy is that on occasions some plugins hang on me and this would allow me to see my taskbar which I've set to hide and close down XBMC. I would like to use the power button to complete this action. Can anyone advise? RE: IR / RF Remote Controls for Windows: Links to Explanations, Tutorials, and Guides - deaerator - 2012-10-11 I own a mce hauppauge 226 remote control with usb IR. Almost everything works properly out of the box, except for one pet peve. when I am watching a Movie and hit the back button or have the movie in PIP mode, I can not seem to find a way back to playing the movie without stopping and searching for it again and resume. Is there a command where I can just return the pip windowed movie.

Harmony 900 devices and activities have not changed. I am able to 'power on' the htpc by turning on the iPazzport keyboard. Also, starting XBMC via soft key (Win + 1) no longer works in Win 8.
