Hi,
Is your file called Keymap.xml and not keymap.xml (note case)?
Just check you don't have 2 versions (with different case K's) one which is empty and one with your changes in.

Hmmn, seems a little odd since the entry in the log seems to contradict the facts!
How are you editing the files? Are you sshing in?
If so, can you do
cat /Users/frontrow/Library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/Keymap.xml
and paste in the result here?
Just to check that you're definitely editing the same file as xbmc thinks?
Also for info, I've used the lazy option and edited the Keymap.xml which comes with the application in /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/Keymap.xml
This isn't a good idea because this file will be overwritten on the next update - but I was just experimenting with the button mappings to see if it would work
Keep at it - I'm sure we'll get there in the end, mate ;-)

Yeah! It is solved!!!!
What I did:
I coppied the Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/Keymap.xml (thanks for that also) to my desktop. Opened it, removed all the lines, and placed the lines from my earlier post in it. Then I place It in to users folder.
Strange thing: If I compare the old one wich wasn't working the file size is about 7kb.
The new one I made is 0,3 kb (if I open them with a text editor the look the same)
Also on my windows pc the old one has a standard icon. the new one doesn't have a standaard icon (if like it's a file type not know to any of my windows programs).
And if I put one file with the other in one folder: windows says: file allready existed, do you wanna replace it. (so the 2 files are the same for windows).
Thanks again to all your people at XBMC.

Glad you got it working. It could be a character set issue you are describing - I think the file needs to be UTF-8 and perhaps the file you created in Windows was using the CP1252 character set?
Anyway either way, you're there now.

That is probally it.
Also noticed: that if I right click on the not working one and select open with xml editor it opens in word. with the other one it opens with a texteditor.
But your right, I'am there now.

It was probably saved as .xml.doc or some such. Silly windows and it's hiding of extensions.

Thanks spiderlane. This Apple Remote was getting on my nerves due to the lack of a contextual menu button.
