MC13 introduced support for Windows Media Center Edition (MCE) remotes. These usually have a Green Button that can start Media Center (either J. River or Microsoft). Please see this thread for more information.

MC14 added support for HID devices as remotes. These include keyboards and some MCE remotes. Draft instructions for customization with MC14.034 or above are here.

MC14 also added Remote Relay, support for IR transmitters (blasters, so that MC can send IR signals to control other devices. This can be used to turn receivers and set top boxes on or off, for example, or to change the volume on a receiver.

  • MC has a setup screen in Tools> Options> Remote Control.
  • Media Center supports the Windows MC Remote Control and Keyboad natively
