Htpc0 5 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 What kind of compatibility will MBT have with WMC remotes? e.g. if I press the "info" button, will I be able to bring up the OSD? One thing I really dislike about Plex is that the integration with remote is minimum. You have to map everything yourself, which is an incredible chore.

Nate8727 9 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I would really like a universal remote app for all of the devices like what xbmc has. Despite XBMCs issues, the remote app is phenomenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven 141 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Currently the * button brings up the OSD but I hope it will be mapped to the info button at some point. I would like to be able to map the green button to open MBT personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 205 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 on w8 i have the green button mapped to Start. That way you can navigate the metro tiles and launch whatever you want... That would be easy to do for MBT.... I do it now with MBC if i want to go straight there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven 141 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Oh that's pretty cool. How did you do that? Although not good for me currently as still in 7 mostly, but good for my kids and when I do finally switch for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven 141 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Cheers. I had looked at that previously but didn't really find a way as I wasn't sure how to use hex codes for different applications, etc. Unless I'm missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syztemlord 7 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Check out CommandFusion. Great free app for Apple or Android. You can make a custom remote fairly quickly. I did mine last weekend and love it. Now I control everything from my tablet, MC, Sky, Amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealienamongus 6 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Intelliremote (24usd) and Eventghost which is free. I've messed around with intelliremote before and like it a lot it's easy to set up and customise multiple profiles, but I haven't tried eventghost yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4dom 73 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 If anything, make WMC remote a paid plug-in. This way it helps support mb. Just a thought Luke if your reading this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven 141 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 It works perfectly fine using a WMC Remote, it is just small details like the info button opening the OSD instead of the * key and a big wish from me is to somehow integrate the option to map the green button to open MBT. Maybe it could be done by making a change to the registry? I'm finding, especially with the kids, they are so used to just hitting the green button that they aren't using MBT but instead using WMC and MBC due to this.

Popeye2468 31 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=164252 Take a look at this Also get auto hot key software which you will be able to remap a keyboard key to launch a program of your choice I.e. F1 will launch media browser, so using the the remote remapper software you will be able to select the green button and tell it to press F1 therefore launching media browser or any other app you wish Edited October 15, 2013 by Popeye2468 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABNParatrooper 6 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 At Syztemlord, I tried setting my mce remote, but don't know the commands to put in the system manager fields. Can you upload your settings please if you don't mind, thanks. I also looked at editing the registry, but still unsure where to make the changes.
