Remapping a RC6 MCE IR USB remote for Subtitles

[wwhenderson]

As a WMC/MCE refugee, I use a RC6 MCE IR USB compatible remote receiver to launch and control viewing with NextPVR on a Win10Pro PC. I had a need to launch the 'Subtitles' sub-menu when viewing (playing ?) a recorded show, which is easy to do with a keyboard and Ctrl-X, but my media PC is set-up as an Appliance without a keyboard. My solution was to download 'AdvancedMCEmapper' (https://app.box.com/s/6zab0xg9k3n3wl09wtm7) and remap the unused 'Red' button to Ctrl-X. AdvancedMCEmapper must be run as Administrator to allow you to save the new key map in the registry. AdvancedMCEmapper might only be compatible with a RC6 MCE IR remote, so your mileage may vary. It is always a good practice to backup the key mapping before you change it. A picture of the remapped key in AdvancedMCEmapper is atttached.
