Just download the EXE file and run it–you can store the executable anywhere you like, including “C:\Remote Mapper” if like. This portable Windows program lets anyone re-map all the buttons on their RC6 remotes to keys on the keyboard or keystrokes. You can download Advanced MCE Remote Mapper Tool on the Kodi forum (though the app works for more than just Kodi). You’ll need a $20 dongle, but it’s really easy to set up.
Re-map away! If your remote isn’t supported, you might be disappointed, but you’re not out of luck: you could use Flirc to control any media center using any remote. If your infrared reciever shows up as an “eHome Infarared Receiver”, as shown above, your remote will work.

Otherwise, plug the receiver into your computer, head to “Device Manager”, then look under “Universal serial bus controllers”, which lists all connected USB devices. This program works with RC6 remotes, so if you see that on your remote somewhere, you’re good to go. You’ll be controlling your media center PC from your couch, as the TV gods intended, in no time. This means you can use the remote to control any media center software, or even to browse your start menu and launch apps. If you’ve already found an alternative to Windows Media Center, a free piece of software called Advanced MCE Remote Mapper Tool lets you remap the buttons on your remote to keys or keyboard shortcuts. Get that MCE remote out of the drawer, because it’s still useful. But it gets worse: you’ve also got a now-useless MCE remote gathering dust somewhere…or do you? Microsoft killed off the much-loved Windows Media Center years ago, which is bad enough for home theater PC enthusiasts.
