Full Version: Cannot start movies from movie menu

I just recently upgraded to version 9.11 and all the remote controls worked except one. When I would play a ripped DVD (a dvd with a menu) I was unable to actually start the movie. At the movie menu when I pushed the play/pause button, the OSD came up and there is no way to select a DVD menu option (like to actually start the movie)

The problem is in the current keymap.xml

<VideoMenu>
<gamepad>
<joystick name="AppleRemote">
<button id="5">OSD</button>

I don't see any reason why we would want the Play/Pause button to bring up the OSD when the Menu button is already assigned to do the same thing. I changed it to:

<VideoMenu>
<gamepad>
<joystick name="AppleRemote">
<button id="5">Select</button>

This was a bit of a pain because I the keymap.xml file is so large I didn't realize there was a specific Video Menu section. Regardless, is there a reason this is not the default setting?
Possibly just a dumb default mapping - not many people play dvds with menus nowadays.

Anyone else see any reason not to change this?

Cheers,
Jonathan
