I recently migrated from an Apple TV to a 2010 Mac Mini for my XBMC needs and must say that I love it. I am currently using the standard aluminum apple remote and I know that I can use a harmony remote if I wish but I was curious what my other options are.
I noticed there is an option to use a "Universal Remote" however I'm not really sure what that does.

Logitech harmonys Plex PLayer device is currently tits up.
I purchased an 1100 and even though it sucessfully adds the device it has nothing in the database of commands for plex player. Three others on various forums who have very recently purchased harmonys have the same issue. Its a very recent development.

Oh yeah, hadn't thought of that. I have an iPhone and everything. Anything else, or am I just being greedy now?

How do you setup the harmony for xbmc? Just via the logitech software on my computer?
Does it work automaticly on xbmc or do I have to change some settings?

You don't at the minute because its knackered, but technically go into harmony software. Add device, then >Computer>Media PC>plex
Then type in plex player.
It should add all the commands, but right now its not.

Do what I did.
I still have my harmony 1000 with a fully functioning plex on it, I simply used the 1000 to teach the 1100 the plex commands. Its worked perfectly!

how can I add a button for Update library and for Subtitles? It has something to do with keymapping (in the past I used plex, here I could add some button with F1-F9).
thanks
