Hi everyone,
I'm putting together a HTPC and I've been searching for two days now for a way to use XBMC with my Harmony One.
I've read and tried various tutorials on how to have it working properly but all i have at my disposal is a cheap generic remote like this one since the original Microsoft MCE remote seems to be quite hard to find where i live.
The following commands are working:
- up, down, left, right
- Enter (= ok)
- Backspace (= gets me back on the previous page)
- Esc (= gets me back to startup page)
- Mute
- Page up/Page down
- Vol +/- (= manages the volume in Windows, not in XBMC)
... and that's it.
I guess the main issue here is that i don't have a genuine MCE remote, but is there a way to get pass this and still have the Harmony One communicating correctly (as it did when i was using it on my Xbox)? I don't even use advanced functions - i mainly listen to music and watch movies, so as long as play, pause, stop, next and prev are there, plus the basic commands, i'd be happy.
This is the last remaining problem i have to fix before the HTPC is complete, so it's kinda frustrating.
Any idea ?
