Hi, I have a problem configuring a MCE Remote clone (the RM-518, Here) on XBMC.

I've checked the how-to on the wiki to see how to configure the MCE My Music and My Picture button (I want to use these buttons to change audio track and subtitle).
I've tried to modify the keymap.xml file on the global keyboard section as follows:

<m mod="ctrl">NextSubtitle</m>
<i mod="ctrl">AudioNextLanguage</i>


as soon as I saw the remote code translation here : Keyboard Shortcut

The Keyboard work flawless, But when I try to change audio on a multitrack or multisubtitle file from my remote it doesn't change anything.

Also, how can I check if my remote send the correct combo of keys? thanks!

Please Help Me!

Thanks!
I am assuming that your remote works as a mouse/keyboard HID (mine does).
From a terminal run xev.
This starts a small X window and displays keycodes and info in the terminal window.
Press a button on the remote and you should see the corresponding keycodes.
My remote outputs ctrl+shift+p for play button.
You could also try to setup a keyboard shortcut in gnome, system->settings->keyboard shotcuts. Choose some shortcut or create a new one and press a button on the remote. If it sends keyboard key combos this should show you what it sends.
I haven't tried to bind the key combos in xbmc myself.
