UGHH I spoke too soon. Of course it couldn't be that simple. :( Guess it was a fluke that it accepted the keys because I started getting the "already exists" errors for other keys such as skip foward & skip back, record among others. I can understand why it thinks there are duplicate because when I press certain keys the wrong one is highlighted on the GUI. For example pressing the UP or DOWN key on remote shows DOWN being pressed in the GUI. Pressing pause key on remote shows DOWN on GUI. Something to note is sometimes sequence modifiers comes unchecked on its own. Very strange indeed. This is very frustrating! Bill
