• Can somebody tell me if i can use my Sound Blaster Platinum 5.1 Remote to control Media Center 9?
• Can I submit CD/tracknumbers to YABB?
  
• Can I also use CDDB to get tracknumbers?

Gday from Downunder!

I am using my SB Live! Drive RM-900 remote to control Media Center 9 via another program called Girder (http://www.girder.nl).

I am still new to using Girder, but I have the basics (Start Media Jukebox, Play, Pause, Stop, Skip Forward and Backward, Volume) working just fine. The Mute function seems a bit wierd, but I'm sure it's just me getting to grips with Girder.

Girder can control almost anything that runs on your PC, and it works with lots of different Remote/IR combinations.

Once I've got it running nicely, I'll email you my config file which you can just load into Girder and away you go...

Media Jukebox 8 had a Girder plugin, but that doesn't seem to work in MC 9...

Hope this helps...
