anyone here done anything with xbox media center?

it would be easy to just have the basic functionality of the dvd remote, but there are a lot of ir commands that pertain to xbmc that im reading about.

I was curious to see if anyone with a tsu-7000 would be willing to show me a good example of where to start?

Right now im using xbmc4xbox, but I will eventually build a htpc and run xbmc on it.

Thanks in advance,
Luke

Or buy an ipod/ipad and buy an app.

thanks,

thats where ive been looking. theres a how to page there, and step 1 is to download a ccf with all the codes from sourceforge, but i wasnt able to find anything there that's a ccf.

it's not super important. im just laid up on the couch for a while with a broken collar bone. thought it may be an easy thing to do.

I'm going to bump this thread.

I'm still looking for the Pronto Codes ccf that used to be on source forge if someone is hanging on to it.

I bought a cheap MCE remote/receiver for use with my new HTPC. I can learn the functions on this remote, but it's not a lot of buttons and I know you can bind a trillion functions to XBMC

A search for XBMC in the Pronto files section on here brings up this ccf

[Link: files.remotecentral.com]

When when I opened it seems to have quite a few IR codes for the XBMC running on a Mac

Interesting, there might be some codes in there that could be useful..not sure.

this all gets confusing with an HTPC because you have different IR receivers and you can also set up XBMC to do different things with the codes as well.

If it was me, rather than get bogged down with every possible code and combination of codes available, I would work out what I want the HTPC and XBMC to do, design a few screens, learn those few codes and start from there.

I looked at all that stuff too regarding XBMC and it really became mind boggling - what made it easier for me was to work out what functionality I wanted - rather than think "oooh look, I can do all that!". You make the technology do what you need rather than what others wanted on their HTPCs. Then as you become more aware of what you can do with the XBMC you can then begin to update your configuration and learn more codes and use more functions.


I'm running XBMC on my first gen AppleTV (ATV1) and I use the standard ATV remote codes which do everything I need at the moment. That is literallly 6 buttons!

Out of the "trillions" of functions you say there are on XBMC HTPC combination, you are unlikely to use that many.
