Hi Jurgen
Using the Harmony Remote Software program add this new device:
Device: Computer-->Media Centre PC
Manufacturer: Plex
Model: Plex
This is a profile that is made up of 10 different Apple remotes giving a total of 59 buttons (no, not 60—59; for some reason the Plex team didn't include the "select" button on remote number 153)
The easiest way to get Remote Buddy to accept all 10 is simply to assign the following commands to 10 different buttons on your Harmony remote:
Remote ID 150: Direction Up
Remote ID 151: 1
Remote ID 152: Volume Up
Remote ID 153: Info
Remote ID 154: Rewind
Remote ID 155: Exit
Remote ID 157: Aspect
Remote ID 158: Channel Up
Remote ID 159: Large Up
Remote ID 160: Skip Back
I'm not sure of the exact wording in Remote Buddy to add them, but in essence you want to assign new physical remotes. When Remote Buddy is ready to detect and add new remotes just point your Harmony at the computer and press each of the 10 buttons once. If I remember correctly Remote Buddy will detect the remote ID number and add that remote to the list. Once you've got all 10 added you can go nuts assigning IR commands in the Harmony software and the corresponding actions in Remote Buddy.
A word of advice: use a table, e.g. a spreadsheet, to track what Harmony IR command goes with which Apple remote and button and what the Remote Buddy function is. I'll happily send you mine, if you like, to get you started.
