Good evening Ferent,
I thought your RC did nothing on MC. I have a RC that works fine for me Like Louder/Play/Pause/Stop/skip etc.
I have no buttons like right/left or anything that works like a mouse.
Stupid thing is that in the living room I have a RC that works fine with left/right etc. but it doesn't work with MC. It has no functions like play/pause/louder etc.
If it is a X10 compatible RC you can try downloads on
http://www.promixis.com/There is this program Girder as well as Netremote that is supported by MC.
Or perhaps download Mouseremote on
http://www.marmitek.com/ Open Home solutions then touch top button (Sorry it is in Dutch) Universele Afstandbedieningen.
Lookup for PC Control and click on the picture. then click on software and click on the second text "DOWNLOADEN"
There should be download MOUSEREMOTE.exe
Good luck,
Ben.
