I currently use my Harmony One (set-up as an MCE Keyboard) to control XBMC. I have great succes with this, with one notable exception - the ability to 'launch' XBMC remotely.
I have the shortcut key to XBMC.exe set to launch with a press of the F9 keyboard stroke (mapped to the 'Menu' button of the Harmony). This works intermittently and without warning stops working. A re-boot of the entire system, regains focus of the command and it works again. As I say this is completely random and has no repeatable pattern to it, nor can I reproduce the behaviour.
jhsrennie or anyone, would the installation of your reg and remap of the buttons and a change in the Harmony Remote software to use the MCE remote commands, prove any more reliable.
If not, has anyone else experienced this issue - I'm quite sure it is a 'windows' issue, but cannot find anywhere that might capture the action (such as event viewer) and give me a starting point to troubleshoot - any ideas, help?
EDIT
Was searching for something totally unrelated and came across this, which I had totally forgotten about - having previously used Media Portal (in another life) I remembered being able to launch MP using the 'Green Button' - seems as if someone has been successful. See here for link to the download
http://www.team-mediaportal.com/componen...nfo/id,77/ I am no developer - user only - but it seems like there might some form of source code in the rar file, which someone may be able to adapt for use or at least give a start to.
Apologies if this has been found before and rendered totally useless.
