Title: MCE v1 remote and MC?
Post by: raldo on August 24, 2009, 04:08:50 pm

Has anyone managaged to use an MCE v1 remote with MC? You'd have to remap some keystrokes, I suppose...

Hi Raldo - I have this one and it works fine (well I've now use a Harmony One and just selected the remote on it's SW)....I don't know if it is V1, V2 etc etc

Yup, Microsoft doesn't make these anymore, unfortunately.

But, I've managed to get my Speedlink SL-6399 MCE remote up and running. This is an MCE V1 remote.

It's quite responsive and I found it in the Logitech Harmony database under MediaCenter\Speedlink\SL-6399

There is a thread concerning how to change Resource.xml (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=53488.0)
and a Wiki page (http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/User_Defined_Global_Keyboard_Shortcuts)

Here's a list of some of the most important commands (this fills up the Harmony 525 button config). These commands are added in the accelerators list. Note that many commands work by default:

    <!-- Start MCE Remote V1 Key Codes... -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;A" Command="22001" Param="1"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;M" Command="22001" Param="3"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;A" Command="22001" Param="4"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;U" Command="22001" Param="5"  Global="0"/>

    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;Z" Command="22009" Param="0"  Global="1"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;O" Command="22009" Param="2"  Global="1"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;G" Command="22009" Param="3"  Global="1"/>

    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;S" Command="10002" Param="-1"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;P" Command="10000" Param="0"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;F" Command="10003" Param="0"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;B" Command="10004" Param="0"  Global="0"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;P" Command="10000" Param="0"  Global="0"/>

    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;F" Command="10008" Text="Fast Forward" Param="0"  Global="1"/>
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;B" Command="10009" Text="Rewind" Param="0"  Global="1"/>
   
    <!-- End MCE Remote V1 Key Codes... -->

Edit: Most of the commands are now set to Global="0", otherwise they interfer with windows...
