Thanks, this is quite useful.
I use a Cec remote, it only sends out basic functions. I currently use skip buttons while navigating to bring up context/and info.
I'm trying to take all the information from this thread all in. It would be nice if I can get the unused "pause" button to bring up a dialogue box with various options I could either use the options to run scripts or additional on screen keymaps that I havnt got room for.
Like updating library's etc.

let me know if it works out for you (using the favourite thing)
if it interests you, you could do the same with the shutdown menu
<shutdownmenu>
I literally have 27 keys incorporated in 9 keys, cool right, but favourites will be enough
P.S. by the way the code for that hack was inspiried and done by Spoyser LOL the guy is a legend! dont tell him though he'll get a big head :p

only one remote file i changed it to cleanlibrary(video) and it works but it wont do the scripts
EDIT:
does the script need to have a certain name because i had it named Key5, Keyfive, and Key and all failed but i name it Screen and it works...
but still only with button 8

i thought the same thing thats why i pasted the same keybind from 8 onto 5 and only 8 would work so it was not the path... and theres no fault in the script because when i name it screen.py it works but again only on button 8
EDIT: i went back and looked at what i posted here and spotted my error i kept forgetting the )
so how would i send cleanlibrary(video) from the python script?
