Is there a way to put a pause between a sequence of commands...ie - Stop, Pause, Alt+F4

Haven't toyed around with the sequences so far, but I imagine inserting a dummy key inbetween could be a dirty but effective solution.

Hi all!

Hope that someone has a idea what should I set further to get proper funcionality of my setup. Been trough all the posts...googled a lot!

I have Chieftec case with imon inside,I use a Harmony One remote (MCE remote and MCE keyboard combo)
All the commands that I use as "MCE keyboard" get stuck in an infinite loop.
Where should I set that ? I press it once and get subtitle on,off,on off...loop...

Where should I make further settings ? IMON manager ?
I allready did the delay settings for keyboard input on the WIN 7 home premium.

Any ideas ?

Hi,

First off awesome thread been using it all day setting up my Harmony with XBMC so thanks to the OP and contributors.

Secondly a question, I've got it all set-up to to wake my Revo from sleep when I start the activity but unfortunately the power toggle function within MCE Keyboard is the same as that of my Xbox and therefore the Xbox is switching on too.

Not a problem if I switch off completely afterwards but a problem if I want to switch from XBMC to my Xbox or vice versa.

I'm thinking I'm stuck with this but thought I'd post up on here to see if anyone had a cunning plan?

Thanks,
Dan.

What you can do is to set the power settings option in each activity to "Leave other devices on" when exiting activity. That way when you switch activity, they remain ON if already turned on. When you're done, and press the power Off button on the Harmony, all devices will be power off.

Okay, I am stuck. Therefore a stupid question. Logitech harmony 650 on windows 7 64bit. I have followed this guide, and I can get partial functioning Harmony, when using only Windows Media Center. When adding commands from MCE Keyboard I get nothing. If using only MCE Keyboard no difference.

In short, I can use arrows, vol. channel, movie buttons (play, pause, ect.) But not information (i), context menu © and so fort. All buttons which is connected to keyboard shortcuts.

What am I doing wrong?

The basics first: have you checked XBMC setting to see if it was set to accept keyboard commands? have you check the "Customize Buttons" in XBMC activity to make sure that the "info" key is assigned with MCE Keyboard letter "i"? and perhaps the "menu" key is assigned with MCE keyboard letter "c"?

I'm having the same problem as StefanM. MCE remote works fine but keyboards commands don't work for some reason. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I understand the IR receiver needs to be RC6. Does anyone know if a Harmony remote with the IR receiver will work with an IR Replicator? I have all my AV equipment in a closet and use the IR Replicator to transmit signal.

thx

I don't see why it wouldn't. Though I'd expect it to be slower.
