I've used MediaPortal for a long time, and am now trying out Kodi with the Titan skin.

One of the main reasons for this is the mini-EPG that you can enable during live TV playback, similar to MP.

Can we map a key or remote button to link directly to the mini-EPG? Instead of having to first bring up the menu and then choose mini-EPG? I find this Kodi tv system very cumbersome compared to MP. I'd love to be able to hit a button to bring it up. Even if it means hacking some config files.

Thanks.

Using a MCE compatible remote and the keymap.xml provided by http://xbmccustomregis.sourceforge.net/ I just have to press 2x the 'OK' buttom on the remote and the mini-EPG pops up.

Ok, that seems to work as a compromise, thanks. Might have a play with other themes too, see if anythign suits my needs better.

You should be able to map a key directly to the mini epg...
What I did myself on my living room HTTPC is map the guide button (on mce remote) to the "ActiveWindow(pvrosdguide)" command.

This is the relative section from my keymap file:

<FullscreenLiveTV>
<keyboard>
<e>ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</e>
<g mod="ctrl,shift">ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</g>
<g mod="ctrl">ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</g>
<pageup>PageUp</pageup>
<pagedown>PageDown</pagedown>
</keyboard>
<remote>
<guide>ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</guide>
</remote>
</FullscreenLiveTV>
<FullscreenInfo>
<keyboard>
<e>ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</e>
<g mod="ctrl,shift">ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</g>
<g mod="ctrl">ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</g>
<pageup>PageUp</pageup>
<pagedown>PageDown</pagedown>
</keyboard>
<remote>
<guide>ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</guide>
</remote>
</FullscreenInfo>
