I've been able to get my Harmony working well with XBMC for basic operations, but can't figure out how to set it up for more advanced operations. For example, I would like to program the context buttons to jump to "last added movies", "last added tv shows", "kids movies", ect.
I've done a good amount of searching, but I haven't been able to find anything definitive. Does anyone have their Harmony working that way?

Two Part Question First one may make second irrelevant.
1. How can you tell if the receiver is RC6?
2. I see you set up two activities to map controls to there perspective place.
But after you map the keys under customize buttons how does this help? Unless there is a way to load an activity within an activity? Otherwise you have created an activity that you would have to run in order for the key presses you mapped to work.
Hope that makes sense I am just at my wits end with trying to set this thing up.

vanOert,
Not sure if I got them mixed up or what.
What I was saying was in step 6 of your steps you added an activity.
This activity included the MCE Keyboard and MCE Remote. Then step 7
under the generic activity you created in step 6 you click customize buttons.
Then map the buttons how you want.
Well after this is done say I create activity "Watch TV" how do I add the generic activity created in step 6 and mapped in step 7 to the "Watch TV" activity so that the mapped keys do as intended?
Or am I still missing something?
Thanks again for your time and help I appreciate it.

Never mind I was over analyzing it.
The "Generic Activity" should be "Watch TV" with both devices "MCE Remote" and "MCE Keyboard" included..... *FACEPALM* *Going to crawl back under my rock until I need another question answered that really didn't need answering*

Anyone know what the MCE Remote button name is for the big green button with the windows logo on it? So I can map that to a button on the harmony?

I followed this guide to get things moving and most of it worked 100%
the thing is that the Harmony One is emulating the REMOTE functions perfectly... but the Keyboard functions are not working at all. For example I have spacebar set to a button so I can quickly view the current playlist... but nothing happens when I try to click it. Even if i use teh device selector on the harmonry one and click teh "space" button on the digital screen...
Is there any additional actions I need to do to get MCEKeyboard Support working in XBMCLive?
