Remote button for Movie Genres / Search
#1
Hi all,

I want to map a button on my remote to Movie Genres and another to Movie Search.

I know my way around keymapping, but what are the commands that I want the button to call?

Thanks,

Pete

I am trying to do the same thing thru the HTTP API and searched the forums and came up with this command :

Code:
/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn(SendClick(VideoLibrary,8))

It seems to work anytime I'm on the video library screen. Hope this helps.

I'm not super familiar with the keymaping, but I'm guessing you only need the :
Code:
ExecBuiltIn(SendClick(VideoLibrary,8))

for what you are doing.

EDIT - Also here is your Genre command :

Code:
ExecBuiltIn(ActivateWindow(videolibrary,moviegenres))

EDIT 2 - It looks like you can use that Search command on the Music Library Screen too, but the results are a little wacky. At least in Aeon they are. Good luck.

Thanks heaps!

I found the Genres one myself a few days ago and am about to try the Search now...

The command runs from the web interface, but this:
Code:
<two>ExecBuiltIn(SendClick(VideoLibrary,8))</two>
Doesn't work.... ideas?

Thanks,
