Hi,

I am very happy with my NUC but was missing a remote. I ordered one and got it delivered today. It does work, but only with the USB IR receiver that came with it, and not with the internal IR receiver in the NUC itself. I am running OpenELEC 4.0.6 (Gotham). Is there a setting I am missing? Do I have to change anything in the BIOS?

I looked on this thread as well as on the intel website, but to me it seems that for everybody else it works out of the box?!

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have a link to the remote you bought? It sounds like it may not be an RC6 MCE capable remote but instead one that just emulates a keyboard which is why it only works with its USB dongle.

I guess you are right! It does say something about MCE but RC6 is not mentioned. here is the link
I never really understood the difference between RC6 and MCE, I kind of thought it was a different name for the same thing
Now I know what to look for, thanks!

Yeah, that remote just emulates a keyboard and mouse. It is not an RC6 capable remote.
