As you might know from one of my previous posts, I got myself a Logitech Harmony 555 Remote Control unit. I found out that it is a real challenge to make it work with Media Portal and the Antect Fusion 430 v2 case. The story seems to be like this: The panel supplied with the Antec has a built in remote receiver, which in fact is an OEM built by SoundGraph. Therefore I installed the latest version of the iMON software from the SoundGraph site. The Logitech Harmony 555 comes with a neat configuration utility which directly connects to the Logitech website, and has the remote control settings for almost all remote controlled equipment available for download into the Harmony Remote. I decided to configure the remote as an MCE remote working with the Antec Fusion case. After putting these configurations in, I tested the system, but unfortunately not all the keys on the remote seem to work. I can not - as an example - while watching TV switch the channels, neither with the numeric keys, nor with the ch+ or ch- keys. Up until now I did not find a solution for this problem, but I will keep you posted. |
According to a thread in the Media Portal Forum, the IR Server Suite will enable me to resolve the problem I had with my Harmony 555 remote control. The setup to make it all work is not straight forward, but finally I succeeded in solving all the problems
