Thanks.

Yes, definitely, I have that setup working. I also have "mark watched" "toggle viewmode" "update library" and a couple other custom functions.

You need to create a custom keyboard.xml in your userdata folder.

look at this documentation:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Mod...yboard.xml


for a list of built-in functions you can tie to a keyboard command, look here:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Lis..._Functions

of interest is this line:

ActivateWindow(window[,dir,return]), which does this:
Opens the given window. The parameter window can either be the window's id, or in the case of a standard window, the window's name. See here for a list of window names, and their respective ids. If, furthermore, the window is Music, Video, Pictures, or Program files, then the optional dir parameter specifies which folder XBMC should default to once the window is opened. This must be a source as specified in sources.xml, or a subfolder of a valid source. For some windows (MusicLibrary and VideoLibrary), the return parameter may be specified, which indicates that XBMC should use this folder as the "root" of the level, and thus the "parent directory" action from within this folder will return the user to where they were prior to the window activating.

for a list of window id's, look here:

My dog recently chewed my expensive Harmony 700 remote so I'm reluctant to spend that sort of money again!! I was thinking of FLIRC but wanted to ask if anybody in the UK has been able to get the Sky+ or SkyHD remote to work in a multi device configuration? I have a Pioneer TV, Devon AV amplifier and xbmc on W7 to control. Also, is it possible to configure a single button to toggle POWER ON/OFF for 3 devices?

Thanks
