Here's the issue I've come accross:
I am using an original XBox IR receiver with XBox remote for my wife and a Harmony 680 emulating an XBox remote for me. My system is WinXP Pro SP3 and I am running 9.04.
I want to implement the SMS style search in my video libraries (press 2 to go to a, again to go to b, again to go to c, press three to go to d, again to go to e, etc) like sms messaging on a cell phone.
I have found a thread that explains this and I have implemented the change but it does not work. I was confused about where my keymap.xml resides because I found three of them.
The keymap.xml files were found in:
Documents and settings\user\apps\xbmc\usersettings
Program files\xbmc\usersettings
Program Files\xbmc\system
I removed all keymap.xml except the one in:
Program files\xbmc\system
I noticed that pressing the number 3 on my remote turns the volume up and that pressing the number 6 turns the volume down.
In the program files\xbmc\system\keymap.xml I have removed all occurrances of " <three>VolumeUp</three>" and restart XBMC yet when I press 3 I still get the OSD of volume up.
How is this possible when the only keymap.xml is the one that I'm editing and the one that I'm editing has all instances of " <three>VolumeUp</three>" removed?
It appears to me that the function for 3 on the remote is hard coded in the program, does anyone know if this is true?
My goal here is to eventually change the functions of the number buttons on my remotes but if I can't even turn off the volume up on 3 what hope do I have of remapping it?
I have also added and removed the SMSJumping found here http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=238...stcount=16 but have not been able to get any of the keys to respond.
The only keys that work are 3, 6 (volumeup, volumedown).
Again, I have only one keymap.xml in the program files\xbmc\system directory.
Any ideas?
