I have a vista mce remote that works like a HID keyboard.
I've mapped succesfully almost every key.
I have a problem with the green start button(the one with windows logo).
Looking with xev I see that key is mapped in this way : Alt_L + Super_L + Return.
I don't know how to manage the Super_L (left windows key) in xbmc.
I've tried this config in my keyboard.xml:

<return mod="leftwindows,alt">Info</return>

but xbmc doesn't recognize the event.I see in the log of xbmc the keycodes of the keys( 133 + 64 + 36 ) but no action executed.
I suppose that left windows key can't be used as a mod key.
Is there a way to manage this situation?

Ok I've solved.
The leftwindows key is just called "win" in keyboard.xml so I've modified in this way:

<return mod="alt,win">Info</return>

Works perfectly !
And everything without lirc or other software,great!

Hi slux,

could You share Your keyboard.xml?
It would help other users to manage their remotes.

Hi Zemy,

I've just added some key definition in the standard keyboard.xml and enabled the option "Remote control sends keyboard presses" in System Settings - Input Devices.

Here it is my adds:

Code:

<!-- MS Media Center keyboard shortcuts sent by MCE remotes -->
      <!-- See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb189249.aspx -->
      <p mod="ctrl,shift">Play</p>        <!-- Play -->
      <s mod="ctrl,shift">Stop</s>        <!-- Stop -->
      <p mod="ctrl">Pause</p>             <!-- Pause -->
      <f mod="ctrl,shift">FastForward</f> <!-- Fwd -->
      <b mod="ctrl,shift">Rewind</b>      <!-- Rew -->
      <f mod="ctrl">SkipNext</f>          <!-- Skip -->
      <b mod="ctrl">SkipPrevious</b>      <!-- Replay -->
[b]  <t mod="ctrl,shift">FullScreen</t>  <!-- FullScreen -->
      <m mod="ctrl">XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</m>
      <i mod="ctrl">XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyPictures)</i>
      <e mod="ctrl">XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideos)</e>
      <o mod="ctrl">OSD</o>
      <g mod="ctrl">CodecInfo</g>
      <t mod="ctrl">ShowTime</t>
      <m mod="ctrl,shift">ShowVideoMenu</m>
      <return mod="alt,win">Info</return>[/b]

The bold lines are my adds.Try if you like them.

There is still some issue with the "I" key (Info).It works like the right button of the mouse so I need to find a fix for that.
I'm aware about the wiki page http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Hama_MCE_Remote
but I want try without udev.rules and inputlirc stuff.I'm almost there.
