Full Version: How to find IR remote functions?

Hi all,

I've recently installed xbian on RPi B+.

I want to configure a classic IR remote controller, to control video playbacks.
I used the step-by-step descriptions =remote]here, and now it works well.

However, the problem is that I can't find some functions, for example:

1. I want to use the keys 0 to 9 on the remote controller to switch to respective videos. For example when I press 5, it should stop the currently playing video, and switch to 5th video in the list and play it. I used the following functions:
Code:
<five>Key_5</five>
But it doesn't switch to 5th video. Which functions shall I use for this purpose?

2. In order to switch to the Next/Previous videos, I use the following functions:
Code:
<skipplus>Key_Next</skipplus>
<skipminus>Key_Previous</skipminus>
The "Next" function works good. However, the "Previous" function doesn't work ok; instead of switching to the previous video, it goes to the beginning of the same video. Are there any alternative functions for Next/Previous?
Moving to OS Independent section as this is not RPi specific and you may receive more answers.
