[[File:remote-VRC1100.jpg|thumb]]

:''See bellow for Ubuntu specific notes
There is no manufacturer's name on this remote or the manual, but they appear to be from Ortek (http://www.ortek.com/html/pdt_view.asp?area=25&cat=154&sn=65). They are widely available on eBay. Maplin UK also sell an own-brand remote control (product code N18HC) that seems to be identical, and it is also sold as [http://www.hama.de/portal/picType*det3/action*2599/articleId*158507 Hama 52451]. The remote simulates the MS Media Center keypresses and will work out of the box on Windows, Linux and probably OSX. It also simulates a mouse, although it's no match for a proper mouse or trackpad.

Note that the the i button sends a right mouse click, which isn't much use in XBMC as the right click can't be mapped to an action. There is no way round this without using some helper app like Eventghost, but the Info action could be mapped to one of the other buttons.

If you want to add mappings for the four colored keys and the four keys below them here are the entries you need in keyboard.xml. The top left (Internet Explorer) key can't be trapped through keyboard.xml, but in appcommand.xml this button is <browser_home>.

<pre><t mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, Yellow, 3)</t> 
<m mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Blue, 3)</m> 
<i mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Green, 3)</i> 
<e mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Red, 3)</e> 
<o mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Yellow, 3)</o> 
<g mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Blue, 3)</g> 
<t mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Green, 3)</t> 
<m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, u/Red, 3)</m> </pre>

The * button sends a numpad-* keypress. XBMC v10.1 sees this as <eight>. XBMC v11.0 sees it as <numpadtimes>.

The # button sends a sequence of keypresses: numlock, alt, numpad-three, numpad-five, numlock. This generates a keypress with the ascii value 35 i.e. '#'. In v10.1 you can map this using <five mod="alt">.

=== Ubuntu Specific Configuration ===
The following information was based on Ubuntu 14.10 w/ Unity + Kodi 15.0 rc2.
Much of this was taken from Archived Wiki note ([[How-to:Configure VRC-1100 remote for Ubuntu]]

Out of the box, the following keys do not make it to Kodi interface:
* ''Previous Track''
* ''Play''
* ''Next Track''
* ''Stop''
* ''Volume Up''
* ''Volume Down''
* ''Mute''
* close
* Power

In the Ubuntu desktop, go to '''System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts (tab) > Sounds and Media''' and disable italicized above items by selecting them then pressing backspace.

Next go to '''System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts (tab) > Windows''' and disable "Close window" by selecting it then pressing backspace.

Power button is captured through a different interface. Open '''dconf-editor''' application. Browse down to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power by clicking on the black triangles next to each path element. Locate '''button-suspend''' and change it's setting to '''Nothing'''. NOTE: Although, this prevents the computer from shutting down, the key still doesn't make it into Kodi. This needs work. Holding Alt on the keyboard and pressing Power button on the remote does send "sleep" command to Kodi.

Mouse, left clock, right click, Info remain as mouse only functions.

Here is the file that describes all the buttons (except the mouse keys) on the VRC-1100 remote.

== Speedlink SL-6399 ==
[[File:remote-SL6399.jpg|thumb]]

Cheap and cheerful remote. It simulates the MS Media Center keypresses and will work out of the box on Windows, Linux and probably OSX.

Apparently there are different usb receivers that come with the remote.
<pre>
ID 1241:1503 Belkin Keyboard // all keys seem to work
ID 1241:e000 Belkin // keys Start, RTV, Videos, Music, Pictures, MyTV don't work
</pre>

There are several extra buttons not on the standard MS remote. If you want to add mappings for
these keys here are the entries you need in keyboard.xml.

<pre><t mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, TV power, 3)</t> 
<menu>Notification(Key, More, 3)</menu> 
<z mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, Aspect, 3)</z> 
<e mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Red/Videos, 3)</e> 
<m mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Green/Music, 3)</m> 
<i mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Yellow/Pictures, 3)</i> 
<t mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, Blue/MyTV, 3)</t> 
<g mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Guide, 3)</g> 
<o mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, RTV, 3)</o> 
<f1>Notification(Key, Help, 3)</f1> 
<return mod="alt">Notification(Key, Maximise, 3)</return> 
<a mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Radio, 3)</a> 
<m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, DVD, 3)</m> 
<a mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, Audio, 3)</a> 
<u mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Title, 3)</u> </pre>

:''See bellow for Ubuntu specific notes
There is no manufacturer's name on this remote or the manual, but they appear to be from Ortek (http://www.ortek.com/html/pdt_view.asp?area=25&cat=154&sn=65). They are widely available on eBay. Maplin UK also sell an own-brand remote control (product code N18HC) that seems to be identical, and it is also sold as [http://www.hama.de/portal/picType*det3/action*2599/articleId*158507 Hama 52451]. The remote simulates the MS Media Center keypresses and will work out of the box on Windows, Linux and probably OSX. It also simulates a mouse, although it's no match for a proper mouse or trackpad.

Note that the the i button sends a right mouse click, which isn't much use in XBMC as the right click can't be mapped to an action. There is no way round this without using some helper app like Eventghost, but the Info action could be mapped to one of the other buttons.

If you want to add mappings for the four colored keys and the four keys below them here are the entries you need in keyboard.xml. The top left (Internet Explorer) key can't be trapped through keyboard.xml, but in appcommand.xml this button is <browser_home>.

<pre><t mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, Yellow, 3)</t> 
<m mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Blue, 3)</m> 
<i mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Green, 3)</i> 
<e mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Red, 3)</e> 
<o mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Yellow, 3)</o> 
<g mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Blue, 3)</g> 
<t mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Green, 3)</t> 
<m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, u/Red, 3)</m> </pre>

The * button sends a numpad-* keypress. XBMC v10.1 sees this as <eight>. XBMC v11.0 sees it as <numpadtimes>.

The # button sends a sequence of keypresses: numlock, alt, numpad-three, numpad-five, numlock. This generates a keypress with the ascii value 35 i.e. '#'. In v10.1 you can map this using <five mod="alt">.

= Ubuntu Specific Configuration =
The following information was based on Ubuntu 14.10 w/ Unity + Kodi 15.0 rc2.
Much of this was taken from Archived Wiki note ([[How-to:Configure VRC-1100 remote for Ubuntu]]

Out of the box, the following keys do not make it to Kodi interface:
* ''Previous Track''
* ''Play''
* ''Next Track''
* ''Stop''
* ''Volume Up''
* ''Volume Down''
* ''Mute''
* close
* Power

In the Ubuntu desktop, go to '''System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts (tab) > Sounds and Media''' and disable italicized above items by selecting them then pressing backspace.

Next go to '''System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts (tab) > Windows''' and disable "Close window" by selecting it then pressing backspace.

Power button is captured through a different interface. Open '''dconf-editor''' application. Browse down to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power by clicking on the black triangles next to each path element. Locate '''button-suspend''' and change it's setting to '''Nothing'''. NOTE: Although, this prevents the computer from shutting down, the key still doesn't make it into Kodi. This needs work. Holding Alt on the keyboard and pressing Power button on the remote does send "sleep" command to Kodi.

Mouse, left clock, right click, Info remain as mouse only functions.

Here is the file that describes all the buttons (except the mouse keys) on the VRC-1100 remote.

Note from Archive Wiki ([[How-to:Configure VRC-1100 remote for Ubuntu]])
It appears that (at least) Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and beyond, the VRC-1100 is fully supported by the OS for use with XBMC/Kodi out of the box, however with one important caveat: Ubuntu's default desktop environment, Unity, with its default settings, greedily grabs some of the key presses from the VRC-1100 before they even make it to XBMC/Kodi. The results is that the big round mouse thingy and many/most of the keys on the VRC-1100 will appear to work OK, but others, such as STOP and NEXT (chapter) won't do anything at all. Fortunately, there is a simple solution: In the Ubuntu desktop, go to System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Sound and Media and disable each of the relevant shortcuts by selecting them then pressing backspace. Your VRC-1100 should now be fully functional with XBMC/Kodi. No reboot required. (Credit to Memphiz and denz13 for this solution.)
