Thanks I have a Harmony One as well so I will give that a try. I'm guessing you can rename the Record button to say Eject or something?

Yeah, I have it setup as an additional button done via the 'Harmony Software', the button labeled on the LCD as 'Eject', but I just assigned that button to the MCE button called 'Record'
To test to see if it works, in a console, type: irw
Press the button, you should see something like:
"000000037ff07be8 00 Record mceusb"
Then just change your remote.xml to what I have above.
--------------
On another note, if you want to get creative with your remote, I also setup other custom buttons using the Red, Green, Yellow & Blue buttons for the MCE remote.
I have additional buttons setup on the LCD for:
Movies, TV, Music & Weather
I mapped these to:
<red>XBMC.ActivateWindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles)</red>
<green>XBMC.ActivateWindow(music)</green>
<yellow>XBMC.ActivateWindow(weather)</yellow>
<blue>XBMC.ActivateWindow(videolibrary,movietitles)</blue>
So, they will take me directly to these areas when pressing those additional buttons.

If there isn't a remote.xml file in the userdata folder should I make one?

It should be under: /usr/share/xbmc/userdata/keymaps
You can copy this to ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps
Then just modify to suit.

Well, you can modify the original, but it's always good to keep a reference one just in case.

Ok, I copied it to the ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps folder and modified it there. I'm guessing XBMC will use that one now?
Also my MCE settings on my harmony doesn't have a record button yet, so not sure how I go about setting that up. I'm installing the software right now it's just been a while since I've messed with it lol.
By the way thanks for all the help!

One thing, not sure yours is setup the same as mine. Is there a way to get say I make an activity for Blu-ray can I get the eject button into that menu? Right now it's just in the HTPC device menu. I looked in the menu's but didn't see anything about custom buttons for a certain activity.
