I am new to this (htpc not computers) and plan to build an htpc but am still in development stages. my question is can you use multiple remotes with xbmc, meaning if i use a kinnect, xbox controller, IR remote, or tablet will their drivers or add-ons cancel eachother out. (i just want to make sure everything will work corectly without running into any hickups along the way)
I plan to use an IR remote or my Sony Tablet S (has IR transmitter built into it) and I cant see how there would be a problem there but I was more woried about if using an xbox controller would mess up any configurations with the IR remote and if I were to use Kinect would I be stuck without a remote at all.I ask because kinect could be cool but I dont think I would want to use it all of the time)
I plan to do a build similar to the A6-pack build (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=143152) (same case, mobo, remote, 4gb ram, small SSD and stream media from an NAS or 2tb internal HHD)
Windows 7 or 8 (still deciding if i want xbmc to auto start on windows 7 or make use of metro on windows 8)
