Howdy. I'm trying to find the right forum for this, if there is a better one, please redirect me.

I already had mythtv working on my htpc, and it took me a while to map remote keys to keyboard keys in .lircrc.

When I setup xbmc, I was impressed that xmbc eden 'just worked' with my hauppauge remote, using default devinput mappings.
I happen to have this remote:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/PVR-350_Remote_Quick_Guide

By reading the docs, I did find
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Rem...ol_Reviews
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Remote_Controls (it mentions Remote.xml but there is no such file)
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keyboard.xml
but it's not super clear how I can get a default mapping of how my remote keys are used, and modify that.

If I want the rewind button to do jump back 10 seconds and now REW, how can I do this?
I'd also love to map the back/exit button to ESC so that 'exit' lets me exit the current video as opposed to rewinding it a few seconds like it currently does.

Also, I have a harmony remote, which I can reprogram to be an MCE remote if need be, but is there a point?

Thanks,
Marc

not the answer you probably want but,
FLIRC.TV makes mapping the buttons a breeze!

Hi Eskro, flirc.tv seems interesting, although their site didn't tell me a lot about what it actually does. Does it remap any irc code into any keyboard key basically?
I guess that would work, although I feel a bit silly getting this when I already have a harmony remote and ultimately my only problem is that I can't remap some apparently pre-baked actions for some of my remote commands in xbmc (in mythtv it's easy, it uses the lirc file, so I can map any remote key to any keyboard/application key that way).

yes, FLIRC lets u program any IR remote really easily.
decide which button on your remote should emulate which keyboard key and thats it!

FLIRC works great with HARMONY remotes!

like i said,
i know its not the answer you want
