Hi,
I'm opening this new thread as it is specific to Linux and I truly hope that some of you who are experts in creating custom remote mappings will be able to do this in no time, while I'm so short on time that in the foreseeable future I will not be able to dig into learning the remote mappings (although I'm planning to do this, since I really like to understand things and to know-how).
There is an excellent thread in the PVR-WMC section of the forum for custom keymap project for Harmony Remotes, and they created a set of 5 custom mappings for remote.xml that makes PVR remote controlling a real joy, and is so much important to have this. (My person opinion is that these should be the defaults, but actually it doesn't matter, once we have these for Kodi/Helix).
Long story short, these were done for Gotham, and since the PVR section is redone in Helix, it is not working for latest releases. The active member in the topic is not using Kodi, so he can only point to the correct route but not able to do and test the new mappings.
I believe for those who are really familiar with remote mappings this could be a piece of cake to migrate the already created settings to Kodi.
The original thread is located at: Link
If you read the first post, then it should be completely clear what and how these mappings do.
Basically:
In the initial post there is a link for Linux (Openelec) files and Harmony mapping as well.
All the feature are excellent and I would so much like to have them on my Openelec 5.2 box.
Please, help us and do the 5 custom mappings for Kodi/Helix.
Many thanks!

Quote:What's in version 1.0 for the remote.xml?
• Maps XBMC "record" function to remote key "record". Enables one touch recording from XBMC EPG (Gotham only feature)
• Maps XBMC "context menu" function to remote key "menu".
• Maps XBMC "electronic program guide (EPG)" to remote key "guide".
• Maps XBMC "fullscreen" function to remote key "guide" within <mypvr> tag. Enables toggling of EPG while watching live TV and recorded TV only.
• Enables what I'll refer to as the "Scarecrow420 channel surfing changes" (Gotham only feature) described in this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1638147
