Hi all, first post... Have been using XBMC for years on the XBox. Have recently added an Apple TV and Windows XBMC to my gear...

Sorry about the noob questions but:

1. How does one get an mce remote working with XBMC on Windows?

2. How does one get an XBOX remote to work with Windows?

Thanks!

Thanks for everyone's replies. Think I might go with a bog standard MCE remote, seems less hassle Smile

I use an original Xbox controller on my HTPC; it's what I'm used to after using it on the Xbox for so many years. Some day I'll buy an Xbox 360 controller so it's wireless, but the original Xbox controller works just fine.

I'm using this one http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14380 (using only receiver)
+ Eventghost
+ special driver for this remote (With this driver remote control doesn't emulate keyboard and mouse, but only sends events to eventghost)

As remote control I'm using Logitech Harmony 525

A friend gave me a DViCO Fusion remote yesterday, and I spent the better part of the evening and this morning getting it working with my Zotac 330 board, and also with my Harmony 880. I now have it working as well as the Harmony worked with my original X-Box. It was not a completely trivial task. If anyone else has trouble getting one of these to work then feel free to ask for help.

My future setup is going to be:

Hardware:
ASRock ION 330-BD
http://www.asrock.com/nettop/overview.as...ION 330-BD

Software:
Ubuntu + XBMC

Is there any remote that will work right out of the box with this setup?
