Hi there,

What is the easiest way to make a remote control 100% working well.

I've got a mc-1200 case with remote. But my volume buttons doesn't work. In windows 8 the buttons works correctly but not in xbmc.

I use xbmc 11.0 final and windows 8 pro.

All other buttons that i need are working oke.

I've tested my system in openelec and everything works fine out of the box.

Is it the iMON remote or mce remote? If it is mce then install the customregis by elitegamer360.

g.scholtens · 2012-12-10, 16:10

I thought it was seen as a keyboard.

I have an issue with my remote also, the arrow keys (left and right) do nothing, before they would allow me to jump back and jump forward 30 seconds in live tv, now they do nothing in live tv but the continue to work in recorded tv or videos. Just not live TV.

Any ideas?

Maybe you could try this add-on:

I will test it tonight or tomorrow.

hoopsdavis · 2012-12-11, 13:49

That looks like what I need, where do I find it to download?

g.scholtens · 2012-12-11, 14:27

https://github.com/takoi/xbmc-addon-keymap-config this link, click on ZIP to download a zip file (WINDOWS only)

hoopsdavis · 2012-12-11, 21:57

Thanks, I'll give it a try and post back the results.

hoopsdavis · 2012-12-12, 01:00

g.scholtens, I was able to get it installed and I changed some settings under fullscreenlivetv but still the settings don't seem to take affect.

g.scholtens · 2012-12-13, 14:14

Maybe you could ask it in the topic i send you.

Can anyone else help me with my volume problems?

Tuxon86 · 2012-12-14, 18:12

I've been using a windows MCE remote control with the MCE addon and it worked quite well, but lately I've been using a free ios xbmc remote app on my iPhone and iPad instead with the added bonus that I can browse my media collection on those. This is quite usefull with music since I don't have to turn the TV on to listen.

g.scholtens · 2012-12-14, 18:22

But is my remote also a mce remote? The remote is using the keyboard.xml file i know. But can i also use the standard mce remote addon to configure my buttons?

I hope there is someone here with also a mc-1200 cases and uses windows, so he can share his keyobard file

g.scholtens · 2012-12-15, 16:00

Here is my keyboard.xml

I used showkey.exe for windows to view my volume up and down button.

Volume up is key_id 175 and down is key_id 174

A part of my keyboard.xml:

I think the 'Notification' will simply popup a notification message whenever that key is pressed. Replace all your volume codes as

<volume_up>VolumeUp</volume_up>
<volume_mute>Mute</volume_mute>
<volume_down>VolumeDown</volume_down>
