    I looked at the remote.xml I posted above and I remember now that it was made for the sony RM-VL610 remote originally.

    So, for the Harmony 650, TOOLS now becomes GUIDE

    LIST now becomes REPLAY (* or Star key)

    and FAV now becomes SKIP (# or Hash key)

    Both the original Replay and Skip keys always annoyed me to death (I would always press these by mistake)

    and since I use Next Subtitle and Next Language a lot, it made sense to use them for those.

    You need to be familiar with the Harmony app, but I can help you if you didn't understand me on that.

    As for the remote.xml, it's a great way to associate commands with certain keys on the remote.

    I'm using a zotac nano AD10 that I bought back in 2012. I never used the external IR receiver.

    Right now, I'm still on LE 8.2.5 using my Zotac as a device in my Watch a Movie activity.

    To test LE 9.x, I created another activity called Watch a Movie 2. In it, I simply replaced the zotac with an MCE device which I called Microsoft 1040.

    I programmed the remote just like it was a zotac (for the keys and window, removing unnecessary MCE commands that didn't apply to the zotac).

    Some keys can be different (like Back instead of Return), but just use common sense.

    Now, MCE codes won't let you turn ON the zotac from boot. So I needed to add the zotac as an extra device to my Activity just for turning it on.

    I left everything else unprogrammed for that zotac device so as not to cause double keypresses. If you prefer using that external IR receiver, you won't have to do this (maybe?)

    Anyways, I'll be staying on 8.2.5 until something pisses me off, but at least my Harmony is all ready for 9.x LE versions now.

    Good luck

    Hi

    I have a zotac too (nano AD10) and when I went to 9.x from 8.2.5 my Harmony 650 remote wouldn't work anymore.

    I decided to try using mce codes for it (instead of the zotac ones). The only problem now is my zotac won't turn on. So I also re-added the zotac device just so it can turn the zotac on. So, basically, I have a MCE device (it's really the zotac, but I pretend it's a MCE 1040 IR receiver that I use on my PC) and I use MCE codes to replace my Zotac codes. The Harmony app lets you do this very easily

    Next I copied the remote.xml that was working for my zotac in the Keymaps folder. This ensures that each button on my remote does EXACTLY what I want it to do ;)

    Hello,

    This is my contribution to LibreELEC users who have a Zotac mini-PC.

    So, I've been using this remote.xml keymap for my Zotac Nano AD10 for years now.

    And it is working perfectly for LE 8.2.5.

    When I updated to 9.0.0, I got lots of grief with my remote thinking "this is the reason I left OpenELEC for LibreELEC in the first place!".

    The remote COMPLETELY stopped working (whereas with OpenELEC 8.0.4, I was forced to press the same key TWICE, when the previous version worked flawlessly!).

    Anyways, now I know what to do (use Microsoft MCE codes with my Harmony, or try the new LE updates), but I wanted to thank the community for your help. So here's how I managed to program my remote with this remote.xml keymap.

    The 01- remote (06-2017 keymap from kodi website used as reference).xml one was downloaded from KODI and modified to work according to my own taste. The other two are based on this one. To use them, just rename them to remote.xml and copy it to the keymaps folder inside userdata.

    Have fun
