I am wondering if someone could straight me out; I have been trying to remap the keys on my remote control without success. There seems to be no definitive guide or instructions on how to accomplish this successfully using an usb-cec adapter from pulse-eight.
I have modified ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml to test my findings, however I do not get what is expe
<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
</remote>
</global>
<FullScreenVideo>
<remote>
<one>XBMC.Action(OSD)</one>
<two>XBMC.Action(systeminfo)</two>
<three>OSD</three>
<seven>XBMC.Action(reloadkeymaps)</seven>
</remote>
</FullScreenVideo>
</keymap>
Some instruction indicate that remote.xml should be located in ~/.xbmc/userdata , however I did not get any result when it was placed in that location. Also. I have no lircmap.xml file since I do not have infra-red on the machine.
My results are as follows with the above remote.xml file

As can see the one that generated the expected result was button one. All others failed. If I read the file structure correctly, I am assuming that the expected behavior will occur when some thing is playing at fullscreen, so I make sure to play a file.
Please let me know, what is it that I am doing wrong!
i am assuming you want /usr/share/xbmc/keymap/remote.xml (default xml file).
http://pastebin.com/1bHsJF7T
please let me know if that is not the case..
no modifications have been made to the default .xml files. ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml is complete as it looks above, I created the file for testing with just the the buttons and actions i was testing to make sure i was on the right track. I have not found any instructions that say to move/delete the default installation .xml files. Please advise and thank you.
I moved /usr/share/xbmc/keymap/remote.xml to the desktop as recommended, i also modified ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml as follows:
<keymap>

reboot the system before testing

Parentheses? each line is properly closed with </xxx> please explain? >>>> nerver mind, I just saw it.

Ok, go the expected results.
