[TIP] to enjoy more your aeon environment ! - Imaginos - 2009-04-21

One of the best options is the KIOSK mode, but I noticed that I often have to:
- change the viewtype when I'm in the music section
- toggle between hide/show watched vids

So I wanted to assign a command to the keymap.xml for each of these actions.

It was a pain in the ass to find it but now as I have it, I think that others may want to do the same :

In the <MyVideoLibrary> section of the keymap.xml assign to the remote control you use :

Code:
<a_key>SendClick(VideoLibrary,14)</a_key> <!-- toggle hide or show watched videos -->

And in the <global> section, insert

Code:
<another_key>SetFocus(69)</another_key> <!-- shows the viewtype selection -->

You may also wish to hide the settings access from home menu, then add to the global section:

Code:
<yet_another_key>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Settings)</yet_another_key> <!-- activate settings window -->

And at least, why not assigning a command to activate or desactivate the Kiosk mode
add to the global section:

Code:
<a_last_key>Skin.ToggleSetting(Kiosk)</a_last_key> <!-- enable/disable kiosk mode -->

Oh Yeah ! THAT is a real media center Cool

Great tips... I love Kiosk Mode, too. It's the difference between a MC that only I would use (without Kiosk mode) and one for the whole family (with Kiosk Mode).

Excellent tip, thanks. I was wondering how to do some of this myself.
