Here is another device that you can use to supplement this MCE keyboard.

I've added another device using this, and mix the commands to the XBMC activity. It works really well with the RC6 receiver. You'll gain a whole bunch of Ctrl, Alt, and Win keys combination.

Nice. Gotta try this later. Thanks! Nod

Hello,

I've a Harmony 900 RF and I'm testing it with a OrigenAE M10. It's a great HTPC, everything works fine, the only thing is the next and previous button.

For some reason it won't work, I have the same settings as the print screens shown in this thread.

Does anyone knows what the reason is for this problem?

I've selected Comma and . in the list for the MCE Keyboard

The left and right arrows on the keyboard should do the same thing, try that.

Anyone that can confirm my conclusion from this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=624449&postcount=2

Harmony One with MCE Keyboard will after X random keypresses crash xbmc. Am i the only one that experience thisConfused

No that's not true. When you're at the start page of XBMC the arrows will control the navigation bar.

Well that depends on your skin.

I think it's safe to assume that he initially referred to skip fwd and skip back buttons, which are globally available.

ok, that's true, I use the Aeon skin. That's the problem...
I will test it later this evening. I hope that it has something to do with the region settings of Windows.

I found an old Toshiba mce ir6 receiver (by fluke!) last night and it works perfectly with my Harmony 555. I am on win7 ultimate x64 and it plugged in and installed without a hitch. It also put's the pc asleep and wakes it up without any configuration!?.

My harmony is mapped with MCE Keyboard only there is no lag at all.

Question. Since plugging in the receiver, when it boots up the pc, I am faced with the Win7 logon screen. How do I bypass/disable that so it boots straight to the desktop?

thanks
