Hi guys, this is probably a stupid/easy fix but I'm scratching my head.
I set up XBMC 9.11 on my iMac to play around with it and make a decision about getting a Mac Mini as a dedicated HTPC.
It's working wonderfully and the Apple Remote is working out of the box.
I'm having an issue though with trying to remap keys from the Apple remote. I don't need the up/down volume controls during fullscreen video playback as I would eventually be using my AVR for this. I wanted to map the up/down buttons to different functions (like "info") for example but I can't get it to work.
I opened up the XBMC package and copied this file->
joystick.AppleRemote.xml
to
~/XBMC/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml
And then changed the lines for fullscreen playback to look like this;
It's not working though. Even after restarting XBMC the up/down buttons on the remote continue to work the volume.
What am I missing here? Any help appreciated, thanks!
