Hi all, sorry if this has been responded already.
More than a search could not find the answer to my question.

I am using XBMC on a MacMini, controlling the thing with a
standard Apple Remote.

With the latest version, I have apparently lost the ability to choose aspect ratio and other video/audio settings.
With previous versions, I could access to the OSD by pressing menu on the Remote.
With this version I have tried all possible keys combinations with no success.

Menu: will exit the movie and return to movie folder
Hold Menu: will open Remote Buddy OSD, which I am using to manage my Mac remotely

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

1. Kill remote buddy. Hold Menu is what we use.
2. Remap the button - see joystick.AppleRemote.xml

Are the above to be intended as alternatives or as subsequent steps?

Remote Buddy is something I have purchased for other apps as well.
I need it, can't kill it!

I'll remap the button.

I have exactly the same problem with XBMC and Remote Buddy in macmini.

Any solution??

The options he provided are alternatives. Either you can kill remote buddy and then the holding of the menu button will do what it normally does (open context menu) or you can remap a different button to do what you want using the joystick.AppleRemote.xml file under system/keymaps.

Thanks for the answers.

The problem was here with the Appleremote and today i use the PS3 Bluetooth remote controller and i have the same problem too in XBMC.

What xml i must modified the joystick.AppleRemote.xml or the j[b]oystick.Sony.PLAYSTATION®3.Controller.xml[/b] for the PS3 Controller

And how i can remap the same (Code?) button (PS) in ps3 controller to do the right thing while playing a movie (dispay the OSD)?

Thanks a lot my friends.

The translation there was a bit confusing, Im not exactly sure what you mean. I think you are saying that you are having the same problem with the Apple Remote as with the Playstation 3 remote? Which remote do you have XBMC configured to use? I assume you are keeping RemoteBuddy running and just want to have a different button perform the action?

Add this to your Playstation®3 xml:
<FullscreenVideo>
<joystick name="Sony PLAYSTATION®3 Controller">
<button id="****">OSD</button>
</joystick>
</FullscreenVideo>

Replace **** with the button ID you want to open the OSD.

What does the button you want to open the menu currently do? You can figure out what the button ID is by pressing the button and seeing which of the following actions it corresponds to:
43 <button id="15">Select</button>
44 <button id="14">ParentDir</button>
45 <button id="16">FullScreen</button>
46 <button id="13">Queue</button>
47 <button id="11">PreviousMenu</button>
48 <button id="8">Left</button>
49 <button id="6">Right</button>
50 <button id="5">Up</button>
51 <button id="7">Down</button>
52 <button id="2">Screenshot</button>
53 <button id="3">XBMC.ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)</button>
54 <button id="4">XBMC.ActivateWindow(PlayerControls)</button>

Also, please note that I really dont know what Im doing, but I think I have figured out enough to be dangerous.

Any idea??

anything that is mapped to <button id="11"> under <FullscreenVideo> will override the </global> setting

[kperi]

How can i do it

[amet]

How can i do it

I take back what I said before, there is no <FullscreenVideo> under joystick.Sony.PLAYSTATION®3.Controller.xml

[kperi]
