I'm using a Packard Bell Fast Media Remote, and I can't seem to get it to read the remote. Is there a generic IR port that needs to be installed to be able to tell it to read it? Cause all the programs are looking for COM Ports.

the IR port on the webplayer is not a realy io port. It is just for the KB/M I would hook up a ir port to the serial port. you can pick up a serial to ir connection cheap at a used computer store.

I bought a generic learning remote and programmed it to control the webplayer. The remote was about $20 from Best Buy. Make sure you get a learning remote and not one of the N in One remotes. Then simply follow the remote's programming instructions treating the webplayer keyboard as the old remote. I programmed mine to control a custom mp3 player. For example: I programmed volume up and down as '=' and '-'. Then I configured the mp3 player to expect those keys. Shifted keys may be to complex, I'm not sure. 'f' and 'b' were forward and backward through songs.Chad http://www.kcrproducts.com/virgin
