Hey guys,
I've got an issue with keymapping with my Harmony Remote.
I originally had it setup as a "MCE Keyboard", and everything work flawlessly. Until I decided that I wanted to use the Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue buttons on my remote to map to movies, TV shows ETC ETC.
Now, for some reason, the "MCE Keyboard" setup, doesn't have those buttons, so, I've had to swap that over to "Windows Media Center SE" to get the coloured buttons to work. Everything maps fine now, except for some reason, the MENU and EXIT buttons don't work now, as there is no MENU or EXIT commands associated with the "Windows Media Center SE" like there was with the "MCE Keyboard"
So, what I've done, is associate the MENU and EXIT commands with "Ctrl+C" and "Ctrl+ESC" respectively.
I've then changed my keyboard.xml file, to look like this;
<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
<red>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</red>
<green>ActivateWindow(Videos,TvShowTitles,return)</green>
<yellow>ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,Artists,return)</yellow>
<blue>ActivateWindow(Weather)</blue>
</remote>
<keyboard>
<c mod="ctrl">ContextMenu</c>
<esc mod="ctrl">PreviousMenu</esc>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
Problem being is that the MENU and EXIT buttons still don't do anything.
Just wondering what I'm doing wrong here? Any help would be appreciated!

P.S Anyone know what the "ActivateWindow" is for the PVR home screen? Thanks!!
