Can anyone help me figure out how to get a Logitech Smart Control remote working with the new i5 NUC? I used the suggestions in this thread and set up the remote to emulate an MCE extender and MCE keyboard, but ShowKey.exe reports only the basic remote functions working (power, play/pause, numbers). The stuff like info, guide, the color buttons aren't recognized on the NUC -- info key is kinda important in XBMC. There must be something obvious I'm missing. I'm using the nuvotron IR driver from the Intel site. My googling shows there's an "ehome microsoft driver" but I figured I'd ask before installing random stuff.
Running windows 8.1 (sorry, Netflix superHD is a priority -- my server is linux). Total XBMC noob here. Still trying to get everything working. Getting close.

Happy Christmas to you all.
The i3 with XBMC 12.2 and w8.1 displays Movies & TV Shows perfectly.
Also have 20 concerts - mainly BD, all mkv via makeMkv - in a folder called Music Videos. But there are NOT listed under Music Videos. Why not ?
Under FILES, they play OK except for: Celine in Vegas 2008; Elvis on Tour 1972; Paul Rodgers in Glascow; Queen 1982 . These break up badly & I have tried numerous Settings & "fixes" without success. They play fine in VLC etc.

Best option is get gotham if you can, and for problematic videos, swap to multi-threaded processing and turn off VDPAU/VAAPI or whatever you're using for hardware acceleration. Also, if you're using Windows, you can use external players for *.VC1* files or something, launching them in PowerDVD or something else.

Hi.
I bought an I3 haswell NUC to for my brother, I installed openelec on it and everything seems to work fine.
I have a spare Harmony 700 I would like to give him, does anyone know how can I configure it to control the NUC via the builtin IR receiver?
Thanks.
