Just select the mpc remote in Myth setup. Out of the box is great. It comes with all you need for a home media experience on Linux."</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: "Times New Roman";
background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">So far, the mpc remote setting in "Myth setup" has completely eluded me. In fact, I don't see anything that lets me select any particular remote at all. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Digging around in the wiki, man pages, and of course Google, I get contradictory information regarding remotes. I can't even tell whether or not I need (or should use) lirc. Indications are that Myth understands some remotes without lirc, while others require it.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: "Times New Roman"; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color:
