As the title says. I have tried putting "skin commands" into the keymap file, and as expected, that is not working.

Here is what I have tried:

Quote:<F3>PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.Trailer])</F3>

From the XBMC Help Files:

Quote:Plays the media. This can be a playlist, music, or video file, directory, plugin or an Url.

A trailer IS a video file, so there has to be a way to do it

So.... exactly can I add code to play a selected movie in the library, with a remote control button. (WAF is not so good having to bring up a context dialog,and scroll down to play trailer )

Try:


PlayMedia isn't supported as keymap action, see: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keymap#Actions
You have to use XBMC.(your function) when you want to use built-in functions in your keymap file.

That is the page in the help file that I quoted the information in my first post from

I do not see a way to play a trailer on that page, or in any other help files. After doing a lot of research and trial and error, I decided to post and ask if someone had a way to do it. Either with a direct keymap link, or a way of defining a key in XBMC to play a trailer ect.
