As the title suggests, I would like to use a regular BD remote (either IR or Bluetooth) to control PDVD18 on my computer. I have several spare remotes sitting in my closet, and I am completely fed-up with the pitiful remote app on Android.

It's connection was very flaky and inconsistent on PowerDVD 17; and now that I upgraded to 18, it hasn't worked at all.
(yes I troubleshooted extensively -- not even interested in wasting any more time with it).

So has anyone had any success with other remotes, or universal ones?

Thanks.

In-case anyone else wants to do this, I got it to work with a PS3 BD Remote (of all things) by pairing the remote with my computer and then having the buttons emulate keystrokes corrosponding to the PowerDVD keyboard controls. Works really well and not flaky at all. Better than the phone remote app by a mile!
