hey guys,

since yesterday I have a new SAT-receiver supporting DLNA. I set up xbmc on my Win7 machine and can access my xbmc-libraries from the SAT-receiver perfectly. BUT, when I start a movie, the PAUSE-button on the SAT-receiver's remote control is not working. I get the message that the function is not supported.

Here's what I tried:
- activate debugging to see what button-code is transmitted when pressing the PAUSE-key on the remote control. Verbose-logging for all components is activated. But I don't see any messages when buttons on the remote control are pressed
- experiment with a keymap-file in <user>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\keymaps. Here I placed this remote.xml

Code:

- installation of Plex. And see, here the remote control is working just perfect, BUT it's Plex and not XBMC Big Grin

- UPDATE 1: just tested Windows Media Player and activated the media streaming-option...works perfectly with the PAUSE-Button Sad

- UPDATE 2: tried serviio - works like a charm as well with the PAUSE-button
- UPDATE 3: tried XBMC 11.0, 12.3, 13.1: PAUSE-button doesn't work with any of these versions Sad

So, I really wanna get XBMC running and therefore need your desperately your help. Please give some hints how to get this stupid PAUSE-button working.
thx in advance

*bump*

no one an idea? C'mon guys....any hints on that?

Please clarify: which device are you playing movies on? Where are the movies?

1) Win7 with XMBC = server with Movies that are streamed via LAN to 2)
2) Panasonic DMR-BST730 with attached TV = DLNA-client where movies are watched. The Pana has the capability to access DLNA-servers in the home network

clarified?

OK the fact that your Panasonic remote does not pause when playing videos via DLNA is nothing to do with XBMC. Ask Panasonic.

just strange that serviio, Plex and Windows Mediaplayer work just like a charm and only XBMC has trouble with it.
Any hints on debugging this thing? Because in the log I don't get any message when pressing buttons on the Panasonic remote control.

Are other buttons/functions working (stop, ff, rw, stepforward etc)? Do you have system\services\upnp\allow control of xbmc via upnp enabled?

stop, play are working just fine. As for the other functions, I have to test.
system\services\upnp\allow control of xbmc via upnp IS enabled

I don't know why this would only happen with XBMC, but it shouldn't be any XBMC issue. XBMC shouldn't have any influence over how your UPnP/DLNA client controls the playback. XBMC's keymaps only effect playback directly in XBMC, not over UPnP.

so, I tested again. despite PLAY and STOP, no other keys are working (forward/rewind, next/previous).
Again with Plex, Serviio and WMP I have no issues at all.
I really like to go with XBMC, but if there's no change/hint to solve this issue, I see no other way Sad

If you are simply using xbmc as a upnp server and not using it for it's designed use it has no advantages over other upnp solutions.

yup, I just like it pretty much 'cause I've been using it since years and love it especially for its design....you know how it is...it's hard to change when u already have something u appreciate and value quite much....

but anyhow, thx a lot for your replies here. as for another setup I plan to use the AB IPBox Prismcube Ruby which is based on XBMC...so I'll return to it eventually Big Grin
