Another path to explore is the uPnP "controler" did you take a look at Media Streamer "a UPnP AV control point and player application." ?

looks like i need to work on my writing skills, as only fred seems to have got what i am asking for...

i do thank TheGogmagog & dblank for their response, but why in heaven's name would i want to control my dsm-520 using the IR method?? i do have a remote control for that...

...so just to clarify, i am looking to go down the upnp controller route...i did do some research and have found out that the media streamer application will do what i am looking for, but it appears that it doesnt work with os2008...is that correct? is there anything that works with os2008?

thanks!
