Hi Steve, nice of you to post these files.

But, I don't seem to be having any luck getting this to work.  I set-up
the files but don't see any difference in remote operation.
Something is not right for me as the hotkeys via the keyboard don't
seems to do anything either.

I'm still using xine 0.99.3, but wouldn't think that should effect
things.  I do see the bug coming back out of xine that removes the
highlight.
