Smitty018210 143 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Hey, I am in the market for a new media remote. Maybe? lol I was using an old WMC remote with theater, but I don't use TV mode after the UI changes. I've switch to mouse and key and have been using emby in chrome, but I miss having remote to use instead. Tried using remote WMC in desktop mode, but function was kinda not great. I am looking for one that I can map custom actions with. Like mapping keyboard function/keys to. I am looking for physical remote that I can hold in my hand. Please I am not looking for a mobile app or any like that. (I know thy are out there, but not what I am looking for) Please share what you are using these days. Thanks!
Gilgamesh_48 1240 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I have had and used a Harmony Hub with remote that i have used for years. I heard somewhere that the newer Harmony remotes are not as great as the one I have and i seem to remember an email, some time ago, that i received from Harmony that said they were going out of the remote business but I cannot verify that. Now days I actually use the device's remote(s) most of the time and I only use the Harmony to switch activities. I do not really need the features of my advanced remotes anymore as I spend most of my time simply watching content and not playing with the interface. But my recommendation for a universal remote is still the Harmony Hub, if they still exist.
Smitty018210 143 Posted September 2, 2024 Author Posted September 2, 2024 Yeah the Harmony Hub is what I've always kinda wanted. Just never pull the trigger on getting one. Might be the time.
