Ahhhhhhh... So it's a button press..
I use an XBOX 1 Controller.. I can find the offending button by checking the XML, right??
What command am I looking for?? 'prnscreen'??
Thanx for the reply...

"That was easy"
Thanx

Turns out it wasn't that easy.
Any changes made to the Controller XML file renders it non-operative...
On the PLUS side, I did learn that it's the LEFT TRIGGER that is causing the issue.
So, my plan is to stay away from the LEFT TRIGGER...
Thanx

The fact that there's a default button on all remotes for taking a screenshot is the real bug here. Especially on MCE remotes - I find it hard to believe that anyone would expect the record button to take a screenshot when e.g. you're watching live TV. I suppose it's a relic from the old days when sending a screenshot of your XBMC to your friends made you elite.

Screenshots are debug useful, especially on a world where ppl go on for 20 posts and 500 words to describe a problem (in a international forum visited by many non English speaking users), when a picture speaks a thousand words.
The relic here is the thought that one need to show off his "elite" status by showing a picture of xbmc, its a bit like saying posting debug logs makes you somehow elite, ya elite and rare bug reporter perhpas

I think (I might be mistaken) it's a left over from when people had to make most of their library thumbnails for episodes and such. There's actually a lot of screen shots on thetvdb.com that were originally taken inside of XBMC using those buttons, since for some people it was easier to take them as they watched a show, rather than sitting at their computer. Some people never submitted the screenshots, but just used them in their own library.
EDIT: I think a recent PR is also re-claiming the record button on remotes to actually record (PVR), so that should be the default for Gotham.

Interesting!
RE: Stop SCREENSHOT pngs - un1versal - 2014-02-13
@nedscott so what is now used for screenshots if then this is removed?
RE: Stop SCREENSHOT pngs - Ned Scott - 2014-02-13
In remote.xml? Nothing, unless someone makes a custom keymap. Keyboard.xml doesn't change, IIRC.
RE: Stop SCREENSHOT pngs - un1versal - 2014-02-13
I though for a sec when you want a screenshot from someone that has a remote, you need to in addition explain how to modify the remote.xml, not happening... hahaha! pheww
RE: Stop SCREENSHOT pngs - jjd-uk - 2014-02-13
I didn't even know there was a key by default for taking screenshots, I always use Print Screen or the Snip tool in Windows
