I'm learning how to skin and I realise this is a long shot, but I'll ask anyway.
When in the movies section, I have a vertical fixed list and instead of playing when I click the movie, I want it to bring up the movie info dialog (from here the user can read the info and then choose between 'trailer' and 'play'). I can change the keymap to achieve this, but then it also affects the tv section i.e. I get 'info' every time I click.
I realise this is the way xbmc works and movie and tv navigation cannot be made to act differently, unlike music for example. However, can anyone think of a way around this, some kind of trick using lists/buttons/etc? I tried having the focused list item hidden and a button in it's place so I could control the 'onclick' but I got in over my head!
(The reason for this by the way is I use an apple remote and there's very few buttons, and long presses confuses other people)
