I'm using Netremote on one of my systems as this allows me to browse my audio library without having to ue a screen, and also allows me to control multiple zones from anywhere in the house.

Using NetRemote separate from from Vista PC on a wall-mounted touchscreen to operate a remote PC with multiple zones.

I use the intelliremote with MJ River V13.  When I switch from teather view to display view, the intelliremote software lost the focus on Media Center.  It looks like when the Media center switches to display view is running another program than media center

I have to click on the video screen using the mouse to get back the focus on media Center.

Any have idea about the program running ?

I just upgraded from MC12 to the latest version of MC13 and i'm having the same issue using LM Gestion/Harmony remote.  I have to click the video screen to get the remote to work.  It worked fine previously.  Any way to fix this?

Thx

This happens to me regularly as well with Girder and my Firefly remote.

Build 140 is out now.  Support for Microsoft MC remotes is about finished.  A few changes in Theater View navigation, too.

We'd like to choose one more remote or class of remotes to support thoroughly.

I'd really, really love to see built-in support for the Snapstream Firefly remotes.  They are very capable remotes, and available widely (Amazon sells them).  They are also RF remotes, which is quite nice (I would never, ever use an IR remote again for my computer).

Does it not make a lot of sense to use an itouch / iphone as MC remote device? This works fine with itunes. In my opinion regular remotes without graphical interface offer only limited use. The ability to search through MC's library with a remote, using playlists and smartlists, changing zones, changing tags, applying the theater view, ...

That's what I would find as the perfect remote solution!

I vote for thorough support of the Harmony series of remotes and specifically the Harmony One. It has tremendous WAF!  And I love it too!

Thanks,

This remote is the ducks guts. This may prove difficult, however, as the Harmony simply clones other remotes, it doesn't emit it's own specific codes.

I'd simply like to see more programmable / learnable options in the receiver plugins. Whatever you can do with a keystroke or MCE remote button should be possible to program in the plugins. I know this is probably harder to actually wite into the plugin than it sounds though...

I'd LOVE to be able to program a 1-press-send-to-s3 action, too... The command is obvioulsy available because you can do it in 5 clicks in theatre view. Why not one press?

Hi - I think I have worked out a pretty inexpensive solution that seems to work well.  I got a streamzap remote and receiver - about $30.  I downloaded free version of LM Remote (and the version with more features is only about $20).  LM Remote lets you map all the keys, and I think you can have key press execute a program.  You can send media center core commands via command line interface, so these could be programmed to keys and you could do virtually anything. Only disadvantage is lack of a lot of extra keys on remote.

If you wanted to get really obsessive, you could get additional definitions by creating more than one profile in LM remote, and using a few keys to choose the profile that was active - that way you could change definitions on the fly.  You'd just have to remember what you had mapped to all those keys....

Not as fancy as other solutions, but can do the whole thing for $30 - $50. LM Remote seems quite simple to program.

You may find LM Remote's (registered version) ability to create nested and multipress menus a better solution. Using multiple profiles can have unpredictable results, as well as having to remember the mappings—and which profile is in use.

Supprised not more are using the Gyration media Remote. You get the best of pointing selection like a WII remote and you can also use the buttons. It is also programable.

It has the MCE green button but I haven't tried it since MC supported it. I am running XP on my HTPC.

I also use the out of the box Hauppauge 43 button. It is a pain to map the keys but I have posted them on the forum before.

Harmony 880 is nice but after using the Gyration it is the first one I grab.

amen... basically a lcd remote desktop remote, with a\v learning capability.. that would sell like hotcakes!  and needs to be rf or bluetooth for long distances  and through walls, outside by bar\bonfire etc.. how sweet would that be.. be outside and be able to see your jriver on the remote and change playlists, see who the next artist is etc...

I'd DEF. Be SOLD! especially since no such thing exsists yet... hmmmmmmmmmm
