I dont have keymap.xml at all in my install,

The only remote problem I am having is that I want XBMC to control the volume and not Windows. How do i fix this?

Have a look at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Usi..._with_XBMC

We'll need more info. What model of remote is it, and if you run the ShowKey app described in the Wiki article what signals are the volume buttons sending?

Ok, am I am running showkey and press buttons on my remote but nothing is happening the remote is a MCE remote VRC-1100

Ok i have got it started, I just am not sure how to associate keyboard presses with remote presses.

Basically I want my MCE remote to map the following commands, Title, Info, Menu like on the original XboX. I would also like a button mapped to opening a program.

<t mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, Yellow, 3)</t> <!-- Yellow button -->
<m mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Blue, 3)</m> <!-- Blue button -->
<i mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Green, 3)</i> <!-- Green button -->
<e mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, Red, 3)</e> <!-- Red button -->
<o mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Yellow, 3)</o> <!-- Button under Yellow -->
<g mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Blue, 3)</g> <!-- Button under Blue -->
<t mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, u/Green, 3)</t> <!-- Button under Green -->
<m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, u/Red, 3)</m> <!-- Button under Red -->

This is the buttons, but how to associate them with a command

[TheSiege]

<o mod="ctrl">contextmenu (Key, u/Yellow, 3)</o> <!-- Button under Yellow -->

is what i put in keyboard.xml under xbmc\userdata\keymaps

And all it did was give me a notification..

The VRC-1100 works by emulating keypresses. See http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Remote_Contr...s#VRC-1100 for more info. The easiest way to modify your keyboard.xml is to use KeyMapEdit from http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/
