Conflict between XBOX ONE and WMC - Harmony remote

Hey all.

so I've ran into a bit of an issue. so I use WMC and XBOX One. I have set different inputs, and different device profiles for both. But here's the problem. Using the XB1 input on my Harmony Remote, it will do the same exact things on my WMC machine (ie, pressing right on my XB1 input moves the WMC machine cursor to the right). I'm assuming since they use the same keymaps, this is why it does it. Do any of you guys have this setup, and how do you get around it? I assume this is just not a Harmony remote issue and more of a WMC/XB1 remote conflict issue.

They use the same IR codes, apparently. I don't know if it's possible to change the codes used by the Xbox One, but it's certainly possible in Windows Media Center.

They don't use the same codes at all, not even close. You must have the Xbox One set up to blast WMC commands. If you change WMC codes, nothing will work.
