I'm having trouble getting MC setup with my Harmony 900 remote.

My setup:

I'm using Windows Media Center as my front end (InfiniTV 4 for TV + Media Browser for movies + Pictures)
In my Logitch Harmony Software I have my HTPC defined by the M$ Media Center SE device, see http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Harmony-Remotes-Programming/Expanded-control-for-Windows-Media-Center-now-available-in-our/m-p/374844

I do NOT want to use MC for anything but Audio + DNLA server.

1) How do I intigrate MC (Audio Only) to work with my setup.

2) How do I turn off all TV remote functions for MC?

When I'm watching TV (in WMC) and hit the 'guide' button, MC will then fire up in the background - how to stop this?
Also if I hit the 'menu' button on my Harmony 900, MC will fire up again.

Seems like I would need to set a seperate MC device for MC vs WMC. How to do this within MC/options/remotes?
How to do this (or what device) under the Logitech Harmony software?

Thanks

It's absolutely great hearing my 5.1 DVDA rips using the WASAPI plugin.
Also, getting my XBOX360 to play my FLAC audio rips (encoded on the fly - MC DNLA) is wonderful as well.

I would also like to add that the STOP command for any of my WMC TV functions no longer works after installing MC on my system.
I even re-synced with the harmony software, but no change.

Any suggestions?

You may need to use a third party IR program that lets you define the buttons on your remote to specific programs.
I don't know that you can run 1 "input" as MC and another as WMC...

Bummer, I really don't want another application.
My remote works great with WMC.

I was hoping there was an easy way to integrate the 2:  WMC (TV - Pictures - MediaBrowser) + MC (Audio Only)

I was going to try a different Harmony device for MC (Microsoft Keyboard or something)

I think you could program MC's remote to change the buttons that cause problems.

Hey-
Could I just uninstall or disable all TV features of MC?

I don't want to see any TV windows, but i can't find the option to hide TV.

Thanks

I can't get this to work.
My STOP button only works in JRiver MC, but will not work in WMC.

Can someone explain in detail on how to make this work & where to disable keys?

I obviously want my STOP button working in both, but am stuck.

Thanks

It's a tough problem.  Did you consider using MC for TV?

It's a tough problem.  Did you consider using MC for TV?

Native support for Ceton's InfiniTV4 tuner card?
Also, Recorded TV archive to WHS2011?
Commercial skipping using Show Analyizer + DVRMS Tool box with the MC addin?

I have a few other plugins I use.

But, using MC I would love give Red October a go. I'm using MPC-HC + ffdshow = madVR as external player in MediaBrowser.
Also using custom intros pluggin with MediaBrowser that goes over big.

Yes, it's tough. But the simple STOP command is a deal breaker for me now.

I'm trying to do the same thing.

It would be great if there was a user that had this configured successfully.

I had the trial version set up how I liked for Audio only and loved it.
But getting my remote to work with both WMC and MC was unsuccessful.
I'm still very interested in purchasing a license if I could get this to work.
