Hi All,
i'm a long time mediaportal user and when i found out xbmc can now connect to the MP TV server, i decided to give it a try. I must say I am completely blown away by XBMC. Kudos and thanks to everyone who works on this project... In about 1 hr, I was able to set up everything I wanted (music, movie, video libraries, fanart, cd covers, etc.) whereas the same thing took over a week on and off to get perfect in mediaportal. So impressed at how everything works out of the box!
one thing that I found doesn't work perfectly out of the box is the MCE remote. For example, when using live TV, the arrow buttons change channels instead of skipping time like any other video. This is confusing since there is already a channel change button on every MCE remote AFAIK. Seems to be a duplicate button functionality...
Am I missing something that would help with MCE remote customization without fiddling with the keyboard.xml file? I am already using the MCERemote add-on, but need further customization that seems to only be possible with xml editing... Also, i found that the MCERemote settings seem to alter the remote buttons globally across Windows so that it breaks the functionality of the remote when used with other programs
thanks!
