Hi, I’m using a Harmony 350 and OpenPHT. As a infrared receiver I use a no-name which is shown as Chinavasion CVSB-983 in the MyHarmony App. Now I’m looking for a way to map one of the Harmony’s keys to execute the “NextSubtitle”-function. I tried to edit the remote.xml in “C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenPHT\system\keymaps” by changing “CodecInfo” to “NextSubtitle” - without any success. Could anybody tell me a simple way to map the “NextSubtitle”-function on one of the Harmony 350’s key? Thanks a lot! ---

make the harmony remote send the L keypress (cycle through available subtitle tracks) on whatever button you need? ---

Hi, i was suggesting you use the harmony software to configure whichever button you wanted on the remote, to send the L key press - it can do that. ---

> @daniel.cull said: > Hi, i was suggesting you use the harmony software to configure whichever button you wanted on the remote, to send the L key press - it can do that. That was another solution I was aiming for. However, I can’t find a way to “teach” my Harmony to map the ‘L’-button. There is just a limited list of maps/function I can map. Are there config-files from MyHarmony I could edit? ---

> @daniel.cull said: > what OS are you running with openpht? is your harmoney configured as MCE remote? I have not, as my computer didn’t have an integrated infrared port. I bought a very cheap one, which works well with Harmony. It’s shown as Chinavasion CVSB-983 in MyHarmony. I just tried to set the Harmony to “Media Center PC [Microsoft Windows Media Center]”, but that didn’t work. ---

I just tried it, but it didn’t work. I guess it’s because I use an external infrared adapter and not a built-in?! I don’t see the yellow marked entry in my device manager → [http://i62.tinypic.com/rh03sn.png](http://i62.tinypic.com/rh03sn.png) Nevertheless, I downloaded the tool and mapped a button as ‘L’. All I got was ‘³’ when I tried the button in notepad… ---
