I'm using basically the same setup. I think 0.77 worked otb with my
Harmony 900. 

When moving to minimyth 0.24.1-78 some mappings changed and I had to
overwrite some of the defaults. Minimyth comes with irw, so you can use
this to see what MCE codes the harmony sends and just need to map these
to some keystroke. I can't get to the details atm, but it should all be
at the minimyth site.
