How to disable keystrokes detection (using EventClient)? - sammarbella - 2014-11-24
I want to disable keystroke detection (keyboard key presses) in XBMC if this is possible and still be able to use a remote control via EventServer method in XBMC.
I would like to use the EventServer way because it doesn't care about program focus.
I know that i can use a wifi client app like Yatse or the official XBMC remote APP but i want to use a real dedicated remote control with physical buttons this way:
(Harmony or other)>FLIRC (or HID?)>EventGhost>EventClient for EventGhost addon>EventServer in XBMC
Keystroke detection must be avoided or deactivated in XBMC to prevent that the keyboard use in programs be detected by XBMC directly (or indirectly eventghost>XBMC).
If i set all actions of keyboard keys to "none" in the keyboard section of keymap.xml file...Will this deactive de facto the keyboard presses actions (effect) in XBMC?
Or can i erase the entire content of "keyboard" in keymap.xml to get this result?
