</div>I would not expect Radio, Music, Video or Pictures to work with a stock Myth system without some additional configuration.<br>Those are functions of Windows MCE, which the remote is configured to access directly, given compatible hardware.<br>
<br>I tried one of those remotes and LIRC picked it up properly, and the major functions (pause, FF/ REW etc.) all seemed to<br>work. Non-native Myth functions would require some modifications to LIRC's configuration, or keymapping. IOW it works as I<br>
expected it to work. This is why I posted here that those particular remotes did work with LIRC/Myth, but I didn't get to<br>any customizations, it works as any MCE remote would be expected to work out of the box.<br>
<br>Volume will depend on how you have your sound set up, some people use external receivers, or the TV set, to control<br>volume, and Myth can be set up to accommodate the many possibilities.<br clear="all"></blockquote>

<div>The MCE volume control (and TV Power if so equipped) may also have been previously programmed to a TV set instead of the computer. </div>

<div>A quick google search turned up this page on how to program it to a TV, and how to reset it to 'pc' control:<br><a href="http://eirikso.com/2005/11/16/how-to-program-the-buttons-on-your-mce-remote/">http://eirikso.com/2005/11/16/how-to-program-the-buttons-on-your-mce-remote/</a></div>
