Optimal Harmony Setup? Is MCE most robust? - waltduncan - 14th Dec, 2013 11:12 AM

I'm about to install Xbian, but my last outstanding concern is what would be the recommended remote profile for my Harmony remote. I'd like to maximize the number of functions I can use by default without having to make my own keymap for Xbian, so I'm wondering what remote profile I should choose. Is the MCE the most robust profile, as far as specific buttons like "Videos" or "Favorites" goes?

Any other suggestions?

(I have a Harmony 670, FYI.)

I am using MCE with my Harmony 300 and I've been pretty pleased with it.

I have short keymap;

Code:

<keymap>

  <global>

    <keyboard>

      <n>AudioNextLanguage</n>

      <c>ContextMenu</c>

    </keyboard>

  </global>

</keymap>

ContextMenu only because that normal menu action repeats too much and there is no such thing as AudioNextLanguage.

I use either the MCE or Xbox 360 profile on my Harmony, I think MCE is a better base. You can always edit out the buttons you don't need in the Logitech software.
