Hi,

Is there any way to have the arrow keys, that skip forward and back with videos, do the same with live tv?
I keep hitting up arrow for a big skip and end up changing channels and losing the buffer.

Thanks.

You can do whatever you want by modifying the keymap for LiveTV

Hi raptorjr,

I checked the link, but could not see anything for livetv.
I installed the keyboard editor, and it also has nothing for livetv. It does have pvr, but channel up/down are not set.

Can you provide further assistance?

Thanks.

Try something like:

Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenLiveTV>
    <remote>
      <up>BigStepForward</up>
      <down>BigStepBack</down>
    </remote>
  </FullscreenLiveTV>
</keymap>

Place that in a file in your userdata/keymaps/ directory.

Hi rpcameron,

I tried but it did not work.
I restarted kodi but up/down arrows still change channel.
It looked really promising

If Up/down is not set in the specified section then the Global section is used. Also you have to specify if you are using a remote or a keyboard.

The above example from rpcameron assumes a remote with mapped keys for up/down. Otherwise specify keyboard instead of remote, as described in the link I provided.

Thanks to you both.
Its working now.
I thought saying arrow keys, might be enough to indicate keyboard, will be more specific next time.
I figured the keyboard could be taken as a remote, so that part did not stand out.
