I have my XBMC set up to work with a really crappy remote, and have always had pageup and pagedown set to volume up and down on my system.

Since I've switched to Frodo the pageup and pagedown default to skipnext and skipprevious (next and previous playlist items) when a video is playing. If I try to adjust the volume with the remote it exits the video and tells me it can't find the next playlist item.

I've tried making my own keyboard.xml file changing both the volume and the skipnext settings, but that didn't work. I downloaded the full default keyboard.xml from https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/Eden/s...yboard.xml and edited the volume and skipnext settings, but that didn't work.

The volume still works in the menu screens, just not when a video is playing.

Does Frodo have a new way of handling the keymapping?

It would be useful if you provided your modified keymap file(s). Based on your link I'm also assuming your using Eden right?

No, I am using Frodo RC2, but the Eden keymap was all that I could find on the web, and I couldn't find any mention of it changing for Frodo. The keymap linked above that I've modified is too large to put here. The only things I changed were the volume settings

<pagedown>VolumeDown</pagedown>
<pageup>VolumeUp</pageup>

and the skipnext skipprevious settings

<b>SkipNext</b>
<z>SkipPrevious</z>

I also made sure there were no other keys assigned to the pagedown pageup buttons.

EDIT: Here is a link to my modified keyboard.xml.

You can get the current version from https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...yboard.xml which certainly has some changes compared to the Eden version.
Have you tried setting those keys specifically in the <VideoOSD> tag and not just globally?

I just figured it out. With the updated keyboard.xml I made my changes, and added my new pageup/pagedown settings to both the <VideoOSD> and <FullscreenVideo> areas. I think it's the FullscreenVideo that solved it.

Thanks so much for the help!
