Hi

I am enjoying MC 13 for some time.
The MC13 in installed in Home theatre PC.

Recently I purchased the HarmonyOne universal remote controller from Logitech, for unifying all IR remotes for my Home theatre system (Flat screen, Receiver, DVD player, etc.).

According to Logitech site the HarmonyOne IR remote is supporting the JRiver Media Center software.

Please let me know, step-by-step, what do I need to do to activate this.

(P.S. I do not have Infra Red receiver in my HTPC computer).

I thank you.

I have the Harmony One and it will emulate the MS RC but you will need the IR receiver to do this.  MC13 is pretty old and I can not remember when JR intoduced support for the MS RC.

Thnx

So what is the flow? 1) install IR receiver in the PC (USB attachment??) , 2) Load from Logitech site the IR commands, then what ?

That is it (on Win 7)

Sorry for not mentioning:
My stsem is MC13 on Win XP.

OK, here it is:

My system is: HTPC with winXP and MC13.

I want to add a full MC13 control using my new Logitech HarmonyOne remote.

Todo list:
1) Add UUIRT (~50$) and install  (www.usbuirt.com/order.htm)
2) Install the patch of the UUIRT in the MC13  (http://accessories.jrmediacenter.com/mediacenter/accessories.php)
3) Install the UUIRT commands in the HarmonyOne (Logitech site)
4) Customize the HarmonyOne knobs

Any comments guys?
Will it work?

You might consider:

Media Center Remote (ad above)  $35
Updating to MC15                        $27

Total                                           $62

It includes an IR receiver that should work with Logitech remotes, and the MC remote itself will work out of the box.
