Can't get my Harmony remote to work - thedon_1 - 2010-01-19
I have a HTPC with Ubuntu 9.10 and i'm really having a hard time getting my Logitech harmony 525 (520) remote to work.
I have a cheap Asus MCE remote which works perfectly. I am using this receiver for the harmony.
I select the remote as a Computer - Media Centre - Microsoft - Extender
None of my inputs work though. I checked within the Harmony software and the buttons are mapped in a way that seems correct.
Also how do i get the remote to turn on the pc?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

any responses on this?

I don't know if it's a problem with what i'm setting the device as within the Logitech software or if it's a problem with lirc.
Any help would be great

Try this, it worked for me and others.
Select:
Device --> Media Center PC
Manufacturer --> Microsoft
Model (Type) --> MCE Remote
Add Device
Worked like a charm and even had the button layout properly mapped!

Ok, i used those settings but it asked me to go through the learning procees so i did.
Buttons are mapped now, no problems.
Only thing i wanted to know, can a remote turn the pc on? I don't mean wake from suspend, i mean turn it on entirely?

As far as I know, the answer is a simple "No".

OK cool, one other question.
A lot of skins have the feayure of pressing right clicking and then going to movie info.
My remote does not have a right click alternative. Is there anyway i can assign what would be right click to my Harmony?

You're Harmony 525 has arrow keys, why can't you use those?
My arrow keys work fine on my 880, and I didn't need to re-configure any buttons?
- thedon_1 - 2010-01-22
The arrow keys are used for navigation, currently left, right, up and down are used for the menus.
I had to teach the harmony because no matter what i selected as my device in the Logitech db, it never worked with the receiver (even thought it's supposed to be MCE).
Is it possible to learn a button from my original remote (any unused button) and then in ubuntu set that as right click or info?

Hmmm.....Im not sure then. :confused2:
