Hi,

I've configured Kodi to use an external video player because I want to stream videos to my Google Chromecast instead of local playback on my computer. In order to do so I've created a "playercorefactory.xml" file in the userdata directory which works flawlesly. The problem however is that I want to remap the controls (play, pause, stop, etc.) to custom actions in order to control the stream, I first want to test this on my computer, but the final step will be to install Kore on my smartphone and to use it as a remote. Therefor I've created 2 custom files: "appcommand.xml" and "remote.xml" in userdata\keymaps, which contain following information:

appcommand.xml

xml:


<keymap>

	<global>

		<appcommand>

			<browser_back>Back</browser_back>

			<browser_forward/>

			<browser_refresh/>

			<browser_stop>Stop</browser_stop>

			<browser_search/>

			<browser_favorites>ActivateWindow(Favourites)</browser_favorites>

			<browser_home>FirstPage</browser_home>

			<volume_mute/>

			<volume_down/>

			<volume_up/>

			<next_track>SkipNext</next_track>

			<prev_track>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" rewind 30')</prev_track>

			<stop>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" stop')</stop>

			<play_pause>PlayPause</play_pause>

			<launch_mail/>

			<launch_media_select>ActivateWindow(Music)</launch_media_select>

			<launch_app1>ActivateWindow(Programs)</launch_app1>

			<launch_app2>ActivateWindow(Programs)</launch_app2>

			<play>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" unpause')</play>

			<pause>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" pause')</pause>

			<fastforward>FastForward</fastforward>

			<rewind>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" rewind 30')</rewind>

			<channelup>PageUp</channelup>

			<channeldown>PageDown</channeldown>

		</appcommand>

	</global>

</keymap>

remote.xml

xml:


<keymap>

	<global>

		<remote>

			<play>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" unpause')</play>

			<pause>ystem.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" pause')</pause>

			<stop>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" stop')</stop>

			<reverse>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" rewind 30')</reverse>

			<skipminus>System.Exec('F:\Tools\go-chromecast\go-chromecast.exe -n "Woonkamer" rewind 30')</skipminus>

			[other data omited]

		</remote>

	</global>

</keymap>

Unfortunately it doens't work. I've tested the commands separately in a command prompt and then they work. Does anyone have an idea what might go wrong? Does the System.Exec method still exist? Are there alternatives?

Thanks in advance!
