Everything works swimmingly, except ...
I've been using the Chinavasion dongle with my Harmony remote for a few years now, but I'd like to take it further. The only keys that I've ever successfully mapped have been the hot keys A-D, that correspond to the colored buttons. When I try to remap other buttons, the original function for that button occurs. Here's my current keyboard.xml:
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<key id="389185">Info</key><!-- HotKeyA -->
<key id="389186">SmallStepBack</key><!-- HotKeyB -->
<key id="389187">StepForward</key><!-- HotKeyC -->
<key id="389188">ContextMenu</key><!-- HotKeyD -->
<key id="61508">XBMC.RunScript(C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\scripts\PartyMode.py)</key><!-- Desktop -->
<!--key id="127027">XBMC.RunScript(C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\scripts\PartyMode.py)</key--><!-- Fullscreen -->
</keyboard>
</global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<key id="61612">ShowSubtitles</key><!-- WWW -->
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
So, the first 4 functions work great and allow me great control. I've tried seemingly endless ways to trap the other button clicks, and always get the same results: when I click Desktop, instead of getting my Party on, XBMC minimizes and I arrive at my Desktop! Same is true of most of the other utility functions - though I never did find a keycode for the email button.
My question is, would somebody please point out the error of my ways and show me how to override these functions properly?
Oh, I set my Harmony up using the generic MCE Remote, some years ago. I've not tried to use the newer Chinavasion device that is now available through the Logitech database - an application of the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" theory! Dongle is plugged into an old Revo running Win7.
