Hi folks
Trying here as a last resort. I've always had a love-hate relationship with Harmony - sometimes they are the best, but when they aren't, they are the worst.
First - if someone knew the designation for a Harmony device in their database that had as many Windows ehome functions listed in its button list (both keyboard, and remote buttons!) that would be fantastic and probably solve my problem. It's so frustrating when one can't mix and match from different definitions in myharmony. Having a device that had as many functions as possible available would really be a godsend.
Anyways. So I was having a problem that somehow the colored MCE buttons could not be recorded properly by my Broadlink RM 3 mini remote. And, as it turns out, I used it to record and then replay those functions to my XBMC harmony remote definition. Alas, those codes were corrupted because of the recording problem. So I "reset to default" those functions on the harmony. Except, in the case of a button you have custom learned, that means Harmony silently deletes it.
And the final result was, when I click on a button on the remote to assign a function to it, ALL functions are greyed out. I cannot assign any function to two buttons. I have a picture, hopefully it demonstrates well enough.
Any advice would be fantastic. If I can't fix this, then I'll need to create a new profile from scratch which will mean having to record and mix and match buttons with another old broken harmony remote, and ... it's just a lot of work that really shouldn't have to take place.
Thanks for any suggestions. In the picture, you can see the button has no function assigned, and yet, nothing CAN be assigned to it. ("Assign" greyed out..)
