Maybe I will post my own youtube video to demonstrate.

//edit

Okay, I now understand the discrepancy. The behavior I am describing is with the Aeon skin. I've used this skin for so long I sometimes forget it's not the default XBMC skin.

So, for whatever reason, in Aeon, it does not do what it does in Confluence.

Yet another reason not to use a macro to do the shutdown, different skins can have different results with the same macro commands.

Remote Key Extender for the win.

I had a feeling that this was going to be the case and was thinking why yours was different. I was going to attempt to do the switch to aeon but now you've given me a reason not to. Confluence offers me enough of what i need.

But Aeon is so tasty and beyootiful! (especially if you've got fast enough hardware to run it well)

Shades is a nice skin Smile

7 remotes is nothing compare to what I have in my house.

I enjoy seeing a lot of remote controllers on the caddy....! Laugh

i would love to, but then i would lose the control of the harmony to shut off and i'm really not interested in learning anything new at this point. I'm just tired of this build and i got a few more things to worry about before I attempt to change skins.

I just built a mediacenter with the Asrock A55 Pro3 FM1 mobo.
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A55%20Pro3
It has the On/Off play thing.
If I buy an MCE remote, will I be able to boot this little thing using my Logitech Harmony 900 (RF extended)?

edit: I don't want to sound lazy. I read the entire thread but I'm still not quite sure. I went from trying to go CIR to this method. I haven't bought the MCE remote yet so I'm looking for 'the correct one'
I do have a HP Win7 remote taht came with my TouchSmart D610. But I don't have a separate receiver for that. All that was in the box was a receiver to put into the IR blaster out and an usb receiver for the keyboard & mouse. Does that D610 have it built in or does it use the keyboard and mouse receiver?

@Daffeh- I'm not familar with D610 but you might need an IR in this package "OEM HP MCE KIT REMOTE CONTROL/USB IR RECEIVER/EMITTER" in order for your HP remote to work with another HTPC....

CIR is the only 100% sure way of cold booting the PC without doing even more creative stuff like installing a separate IR power relay.

Yes, some motherboards can "wake/boot" from USB devices, but from reading user comments it does not sound particularly reliable.

Yeah, when I get home I'm going to test if that MCE remote just works with my D610 without plugging anything in. If so, i need to get my hands on a cheap MCE with a decent IR receiver.

But I can't find CIR hardware near here (Belgium). Shipping rates go nuts.
If I test the wake on USB with my wireless keyboard (& usb dongle) and it works, then it will also work with a harmony/mce receiver?

Sure, I don't see why it wouldn't.
