If you've used the xml file in the first post - then the graphic shows the 'context' button as 'C' which on a standard MCE remote (at least on mine) is the DVD Menu button.
Sorry can't help with the visualisations query.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using a harmony and a MC remote that looks different. I'll just find the code for that context. I just wasn't sure what these actions were called so I could add them.
Cheers

OK, I'm narrowing down my problems.
So What am I doing wrong here...
I create a new "emulate keystrokes" like this
Emulate Keystrokes: s
MceRemote.Start
Emulate Keystroke: s
I also diable the one that you had for "s"
Now evertime I press the start button on the harmony (labeled Menu) but which EG see as mceremote.start VMC comes up.
I have the same problem with mappin "c" to the "guide" button which EG sees as MceRemote.Guide.
The both bring up VMC.
I thought I had understood how the mapping works in EG but this is throwing me.
Thanks

heh heh. I figured these two keys <start> and <guide> were system reserved for VMC. But since I never use VMC, I just disabled the driver. It's good info to know.
And if someone else is having trouble with the Play and Pause keys, I inserted an Emulate.Keystroke m before them.
That brought us that little control menu and play and pause actually worked.
I wonder if that's also in the registry. I'll take a look when I get home.
Cheers

I don't think that it's the buttons themselves that are reserved exclusively for VMC, but the command eg:- if you press the start button and map it to the 'x' button, it will still open VMC, without the registry fix.
Play/Pause - should work within XBMC as remote presses would while playing a DVD in a normal DVD player - without the need to open the 'little control menu' - ie pressing pause, would pause the movie, 'play' would restart, providing you used the xml in the op's first post. At least that's how it does for me.

does anyone else have problems skipping through a video when you hold left and right on the remote (or keyboard that it's emulating)? it's like xbmc is tryin gto skip ahead too much when you hold it down, and it just ends up locking up, it used to work fine on the microsoft remote on the xbox...?!

works now perfect for mee.. the ony problem I've noticed is, that my eHome Infrared Receiver (RC6 MCE Remote) starts my System automatically from hibernation within 3 seconds.
If I uncheck the checkbox "This Device is allowed to resume the system for hibernation" (don't know the exact wording in english), everything works fine. But after that I can't boot my windows with my remote (clear why..)
any ideas?
