killerpoptart Wrote:Awesome! Ya, I think I might have been putting the showkey string into the wrong section of the keymap, but i'm not sure. It might also be worth mentioning that i installed your plugin and i think it might have editted the keymap previously, so I don't think i'm starting with the original XBMC keymap (if that makes any difference). I did notice too that there are some legit MCE buttons on the remote like the red, blue, green and yellow ones. But here are the strings for the extra buttons on my remote:

Browser:
<browser_home>Notification(Key, browser_home, 3)</browser_home>

*:
<numpadtimes>Notification(Key, numpadtimes, 3)</numpadtimes>

#:
<numlock>Notification(Key, numlock, 3)</numlock>

grey tv
<o mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, o, 3)</o>

grey picture
<g mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, g, 3)</g>

grey movie
<t mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, t, 3)</t>

grey dvd
<m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, m, 3)</m>

I tried the browser one but it wouldn't work. I'm not sure if i'm inserting it into the right section of the keymap? Or is it possible it could be a system wide command or something? Again thanks for your help! :-)

Actually the MCE plugin is not mine, it was created by jhsrennie. I'm just a noob compared to him

Now we should not edit keyboard.xml that is located in the "System" folder "%Program Files%\XBMC\system\keymaps" but instead we should Create and edit keyboard.xml in the "User appdata folder" here "%AppData%\XBMC\userdata\keymaps".

If you think that you have messed up the keyboard.xml in the "system" folder I suggest you reinstall XBMC and it will overwrite the old keyboard.xml with a fresh one. Then just download a copy of my keyboard.xml from my site and place it in "User appdata folder" and then you can modify it without messing up the original XBMC files.


XBMC wont understand "Browser_home or numlock derivatives" so we have to use Autohotkey and remap them to something XBMC understands! Although I did not recognise "numpadtimes" is it the same as "NumPadMult" but I do not know!

I say we use your "grey dvd and grey tv" buttons for the "context menu" and the "subtitles On/Off" easier for you to do. Although you can use any other button as you wish by following the simple steps below:-

1- Use a proper xml file editor of your choice or just use XML Marker to avoid any errors when modifying xml files.

2- Open Keyboard.xml and search for <m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(MCEKeypress, DVD menu, 3)</m> then change it to <m mod="ctrl,shift">ContextMenu</m> now the "grey dvd" button will open the "Context Menu".

3- Then Search for <o mod="ctrl">Notification(MCEKeypress, Recorded TV, 3)</o> and change it to <o mod="ctrl">ShowSubtitles</o> now the "grey tv" button will toggle "subtitles on/off".

Save and exit, then try it in XBMC.

If you need any more help let me know :-)

Cheers,
EG.

Quote:From your brief post it sounds to me like you have a clone, non RC6 Remote more like an intel cheap tech "HID-compliant consumer control device" but I cant judge yet :-)

Quote:Are you sure you have "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" under the Human Interface Devices in the Device manager?

Again in the Device Manager can you please also check that you have "eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR)" under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers

Quote:What IR Receiver are using? Did it come with the remote?!

Quote:Can you please also indicate which Operating system are using and if you are using XBMC 10.1 or another version. Did you use the latest reg config file v1.24 (Double clicked it to install the registry configuration) and did you use keyboard.xml v1.81?

Quote:If you have all the appropriate drivers in the device manager, then can you use Showkey.exe so we can exactly figure out if your remote is sending anything at all.

start Showkey.exe and point your remote to the receiver and try for example the navigation buttons first "i.e. UP, Down, Left and right".

for example when you press the "UP" button you should see in showkey:

KeyID 38(0x26) - VK_UP .... etc etc...

Please report back on the above details, can you also please report back what buttons does not send anything! Then we’ll figure out what to do next :-)

That is a real bummer! Asrock 330HT-BD owners, let it be known! Thanks for laying down the options for me. I think I might choose Option 1, as I already know how to use the MCEremote addon for XBMC to edit the registry.

Know that I know what you are doing thoh, I'll see if I can copy all the key bindings from your tutorial (or the ones I like) and use MCEremote to bind them to the Asrock remote.

I'll report back on how this goes. I might be able to save these as a keyboard.xml file to share with other Asrock/Nuvoton users...?

Cheers.
