Hi all - I've successfully (and VERY happily) upgraded to Dharma and everything is working great except for one custom-mapped remote button that worked fine in the previous version, but doesn't work correctly in Dharma.

hardware: Acer Aspire Revo 1600
Version: XBMC Live Dharma Beta 1

The function XBMC.ActivateWindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles) is supposed to bring up your list of TV shows by title, but in Dharma, it does something different. Most times it brings up the main menu screen, but if pressed from within one of the existing library screens, it flashes the menu off and then generally returns back to the same library screen, if pressed again, it goes back to the main menu (weird).

Here is a link to a full log, and below is what I believe is the relevant part of the part showing the error.

Custom-mapped button NOT working:

For good measure, here is how it's set up... the custom button is mapped to the DVD remote function in .lircrc:

.lircrc

Code:

# MAPS  BUTTON TO OPEN TV - SET UP AS F6 in KEYBOARD.XML
begin
        prog = irxevent
        button = DVD
        config = Key F6 XBMC
end

And here is the related mapping in keyboard.xml

Code:

<f6>XBMC.ActivateWindow(videolibrary,tvshowtitles)</f6>

All of the other keys I have mapped to my remote in the exact same fashion work fine, but this function does not work at all. is it possible that this window name was somehow messed up in the Beta 1 release?

If so and I need to put in a bug report, let me know!

Thanks,

Jason

I should note that I pulled over my old keyboard.xml and remote.xml files from the previous version of XBMC. Could that have caused this behavior?

[jmarshall]

That second key event looks like it's direct from elsewhere. 247 is a remote keycode.

You don't happen to have the same remote button mapped differently in the videolibrary section do you?

Your remote.xml, lircmap.xml and keyboard.xml files might be interesting.

[myrison]

Thanks for the answer JMarshall. You helped me dig into what was going on. I believe that the problem is actually in my lircmap file in the /usr/share/xbmc/system folder. I must have had a different set of commands in this file on my previous install before moving to Dharma.

As an example, the remote code being sent for my remote for the TVLibrary above was "DVD" , but in lircmap now under my mce remote, DVD is mapped as:

Code:

<menu>DVD</menu>

I think this affects a few others as well, so I need to go back and dig out my old lircmap file from my old install and bring it over with this one. If that doesn't work, I'll post back.

[jmarshall]

That makes perfect sense, yeah - lircmap.xml essentially maps <xbmc_remote_button>lirc_button</xbmc_remote_button>. 247 is "Menu".

Cheers,
Jonathan

Solved, thanks again JMarshal. The issue was with changes that I'd made to my old keymap files in my sys folders. I brought over the remote/keyboard files in the home\xbmc folder, but not those in the system directory. Bringing over both made everything work as it did with the previous version. Thanks!
