</div></div>I hunted for something like that - didn't see it in the list. That's ideally<br>
what I'd aim for. Oh, well, back to wrangling the Logitech website :P<br>

First, I installed the lircd.conf found here: <a href="http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb">http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb</a> I only needed the first remote in that list, so I deleted the others.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then, in the Harmony software, I found the Microsoft Media Center PC device and installed that. Then, through a couple hours of trial and error, I found out which keystrokes to program into the remote, that are handed by lirc properly. Some keystrokes borked in irw, so I had to avoid them. Once I had that working, I just updated lircrc to map those keystrokes to myth.</div>
