Custom remote keymaps, keyboard.xml not being loaded?
#1
Hi I'm trying to add keymaps for the colour buttons on my TV remote. I read this page: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=keymap and this is what I've got so far.

Created file /storage/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml:
Code:
<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
      <red>ActivateWindow(Home)</red>
      <green>NextSubtitle</green>
      <yellow>AudioNextLanguage</yellow>
      <blue>ContextMenu</blue>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

Shouldn't I see this being loaded in xbmc.log like a custom advanced settings? I don't, here's a copy of one after a reboot:

I'm using a 512mb Raspberry Pi, rbejs' build with XBMC 12.0.7 and the latest CEC 2.1.1. I didn't post in the Raspberry Pi forum because it doesn't look like it's even loading my keyboard.xml so until I get that sorted out I figured it was better to post in general. I know my TV remote is supported, arrows/select/back/play/pause/stop etc. all work on the remote but I can't figure out how to add custom bindings.

Any idea's on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

First things first, check your debug log (wiki) to see how or if those buttons, when pressed, are identified by XBMC.

I set debug mode, rebooted, then from the home screen pushed select to enter movies, the down arrow twice, then rotated through the colour buttons (all using TV remote). Here's the resulting debug log, not sure what I'm looking for?

I have a working ~/.userdata/keymaps/remote.xml which is loaded just fine, although this is not written in the log.

For the debug log you should look at what is written when you press a button on your remote and see that it matches your custom xml.
