However every device uses its own infrared code set -- so that you don't have a remote operating the wrong device for example. So you will have to reprogram your programmable remote to know the infrared code set used by the Oppo remote.

---------------------------------

The rear remote control port just provides an electrical wire version of the same thing. Instead of an emitter flashing IR that's picked up by the IR receiver, the rear port takes an electrical signal that skips both those steps. Your distribution system may let you wire directly to the rear port instead of using the emitter placed over the player's sensor, but you'll STILL need to reprogram your remote to know to send the Oppo's remote commands anyway.

---------------------------------

There's a whole Forum here at AVS dedicated to programmable remote controls where you can surely get help on how to reprogram your remote. Usually, it's not tough. You can likely also find a user manual for your remote on the web site for the maker of the remote. Typically you'll be able to download that and read it on your computer so the advice your get in the remotes Forum here may make more sense.

In the interim, the odds are your IR distribution system will work with the Oppo remote. I.e., move the emitter onto the Oppo and use the Oppo remote instead of your programmable remote to control the Oppo until you can get your programmable remote re-programmed. You can continue to use your programmable remote for your other devices.

EXCEPTION: Some programmable remotes use radio signals instead of infrared to communicate with the IR distribution system in the space with your devices -- typically for cases were the other stuff is out of sight as in a closet. If that's how yours works then the Oppo remote won't be able to send commands to the IR distribution system since the Oppo remote does not output radio signals -- just infrared light. That would just mean you have to get cracking on reprogramming your programmable remote.

How are you delivering your media? If you're using a server that's transcoding your media, then you won't be actually playing your MKV directly which I'd assume would also render your MKV-specific features, like embedded chapters useless.

All media I stream use supported audio/video so I can play them directly without any transcoding. If your MKVs contain supported audio/video, then turn off transcoding on your media server or try playing them directly from a USB source or physical media like a DVD-R, BD-R, etc.

SO WHO ELSE IS WITH ME?

I'm thinking "G'day Blairy" at power on and "Don't go Blairy" at power off

Mind you my old 980 had the feature that allowed you to capture an image (from movie or photo) and use that as the background. That's be nice to get back.

Most of the music that is on my hard drive come from orignal CD's that I ripped. Wouldn't the album be imbedded in those files. I use windows media player. The album art appears on my computer, through XBMC...but not the Oppo. Do I still need to imbed album art to get it to the OPPO? I did check out imbedding ID3v2 PIC tags. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere or do I really need to go through the labor of imbeding PIC tags. Thanks for the help.

When I opened the original box in which my MX-3000 remote came in, I found that there is a CD titled "MX3000 Programming Tutorial, Complete Control". Does this disc hold the software that I need to program the remote? I know that I'll probably have to contact URC to get the recent version of the software which has the Oppo codes in it, but I just wanted to find out if the disc I have has the basic program in it. Thanks for your help. I'll post all future question in the MX-3000 thread in the Remote Control forum!

There's most likely a way to teach the remote or software codes that aren't in the URC library, so you should be able to use the Oppo remote to teach it. You'll also need to learn how to use the software - depending on how tech savvy you are, this may be easy or nearly impossible. As others have suggested, the Remote Control forum is a better place to discuss this. There's also URC specific discussion at Remote Central.
