So, this has been done before but it was a few years back. Nevertheless it may be of some use to people but more importantly it will benefit me (which is the reason I'm creating it). I've also never developed anything for communal use before so I figured it's about time I chipped in:
I'm currently attempting to create my own PSP interface to control XBMC through the web server. As I say, not an original idea but one which I am keen to carry out. It all works in Flash at the minute but I'm no actionscript pro (though I do know how to use Flash, mostly) so for now I'm having to exclude some of the functions I'd really like in there. So far I have:
I'm not ready to release it to the public yet (it functions but it's ugly and it needs more features) and quite frankly I need some help and/or advice. I'm using command=Action(###) and command=sendKey(###) at the moment but finding out exactly what these do is proving tricky.
For example (I don't have my stuff to hand so the examples will be vague), I can bring up the menu during playback (as though I had pressed the "Menu" button on the remote) but other functions seem to pend until a button is pressed on the remote. Furthermore this action doesn't work outside playback and another action emulates a press of the remote's "Menu" button.
Is there any documentation on what each numerical value does for Action and sendKey commands? Alternatively, can someone explain to me what key.h is, where I find it and how I read it?
Cheers

So far I have:
- D-pad navigation
- Reboot Xbox
- Shutdown Xbox
- Go Back
- Go Forward
- Title menu
- Add to playlist
- Display button
- Previous
- Jump back
- Stop
- Pause
- Jump forward
- Next
- Volume slider
