MCE Remote - mapping those last wants
#1
Sorry if this has been covered but the amount of posts is staggering and my searches arent coming up with anything specifically useful for me so far....

. Just moved from Mediaportal to KODI and trying to plug the last gaps when it comes to my remote

Running KODI (leia) on my Win10 machine with a classic Windows Media Remote (Microsoft) - the one that comes with the big nblack USB IR receiver.

Most of what i need is covered by the basics but looking to get the following running if poss:

Green Start button(reomte) to start KODI?
Info (i) button(remote) to do the equivelant of right click with mouse? so i can change info etc

And after all that i may have described my remote wrong as it has an eHome driver - so is a full Microsoft Remote rather than MCE

remap the button "C:\Program Files\Kodi\kodi.exe"

looked through all the links and text - cant see how to get the windows button to launch kodi, but can at least remap the info button to C so it acts the same way as a right click...

ok - now running xbmclauncher - got green button working and changed info button to C and that seems to be working now.
when KODI runs though - it doesnt have focus. i have to use the mouse to give it focus - any ideas?
