I spent the better part of this afternoon with EG + a Harmony 880 remote trying to get it working properly in XBMC. I searched around on here and even googled a bit, but I guess my searching skills suck. Here are my 2 issues.
1. This HTPC is hooked to a TV, I went into the Logitech software and added MCE as a device, I feel retarded but I cannot figure out how to get it to open XBMC instead of VMC. I went into the key configuration and advanced key thinking I could just change it there. No luck, so I went into EG and made a command that I thought linked to the button, but when I press it VMC still comes up when it switches the TV to the PC. I figured out how to get XBMC to open once the PC was up, but I'd like the Harmony to switch to the PC and open XBMC not VMC. The Harmony software doesn't seem to have anywhere I can tell it to launch XBMC and leave VMC alone.
my second issue isn't so much a problem, as I'm not really coming up with a decent layout for mapping keys. The MCE remote that came with the IR receiver, everything just seems natural and intuitive. With the Harmony I'm not seeing how I can get a similar flow with how the layout is.
any advice on either would be LOVELY, or a link to a thread that gets into them. I did search but I found too many thread and after reading 50 pages that didn't help me my head hurts
