hey guys im picking up a wireless remote which will be good for me pausing and stopping videos etc, But what if i want to change a few setting etc, Would it be ideal for me to pick up a wireless keyboard + mouse also ? .. Also can someone help me with scraping my videos.. I've added the videos into XMBC media library all added correctly but when the videos finish scanning the thumbnails never get added, Even user ember media manager it never scans anything other then the Picture which shows up when you click on the video in EMBER.. Also when using the AEON showmix Skin when i switch to the movies in media library mode sometimes it scrapes backgrounds which are 2 small meaning its way to blurry when compared to alice in wonderland the Backdrop picture is heaps good quality when you pick that movie..

See http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Remote_Control_Reviews

If possible get an MS compatible i.e. and eHome/RC6 remote. Ideally buy a pukka Microsoft remote.

The link you provided, Which remote is the best and windows 7 compatible? So many to pick from and most of them arent on ebay = /

What country are you in? I'll have a look at your local eBay site (perhaps you could post the URL) and see if I can see any suitable remotes there.

The best for XBMC is the Logitech diNouvo Mini - excellent keyboard and mouse - all in one

there are two of these ending at roughly the same time

though this looks as if it has the HP receiver (which will work fine)

I find the HP handset a bit clunky, but it works fine
