I have searched the forums and found plenty of information on remotes, but have had some trouble finding the exact info I am looking for so I have started this thread. Sorry if the information is out there, just couldn't find it.
I have the GP-IR02BK that I bought off Amazon for about 20 bucks. Seems like a good MCE remote.
Running a Windows 7 x64 HTPC. Works with WMC7 and XBMC right out of the box (for the most part). Here is the problem, I would like to use both programs: WMC7 for LiveTV/Recording and XBMC for everything else. Is there anyway that I can do this because I have looked into the registry edits and I feel like I could do that, but it would make the remote useless for WMC.
Should I take this approach or try to scrap WMC all together? Some people despise WMC, but I don't really have a problem with it... just as long as I have XBMC running for everything else. In an ideal world, XBMC would support tv tuners/recording-timeshifting and I could do away with WMC all together. We'll see...
In XBMC, I have just a few hangs about the remote, I need a button for the context menu. Would like to program the music/pictures/videos buttons on top. Also, I would like to program the colored buttons along the bottom.
