Did you also put the keyboard.xml from the xbmc site into the install folder, ie do all your directional buttons work?

The green button should open your context menu if you have copied my xml. Let me know what button you want the "add file to playlist to be" (the command is queue) and then what that key outputs in showkey.exe.

I don't know the command for skip to the next file in filemode sorry. If you mean in a queue, or in the music library, its already the skip forward and skip backward buttons.

Finally in my xml i have dvd menu mapped to codecinfo during video playing, and that T button at the bottom mapped to enable and disable subtitles.
Have edited mine a bit further so radio goes to the programs menu as i have that disabled visually. Plus my green button goes back to the home screen.

I am going to work on putting jumpsms into the correct sections as well (i am not interested in filter sms)

kulprit Wrote:Sorry, when i say green button i meant the green button with the windows symbol on it. The big one.

Have created a new keyboard.xml for your userdata folder that will make the "T" button at the bottom of the remote queue a file, whether it be video or music, in the library or a file list.

I had it set to Show subtitles in mine.

I have commented the whole file a bit better now so it should make sense if you read through it, plus my guide at the top.

Right click the XBMC shortcut in the Startup menu, select properties and click in the "Shortcut Key" field. Now press the green button and you should see ctrl-shift-W appear. Click OK. Now the green button will start XBMC and it will restore XBMC if it's minimised.

To change/add functions to buttons you need a custom keyboard.xml. Look in %appdata%\xbmc\addons\plugin.script.mceremote and doubling click in the resources folder then the Data folder. Run the batch file CopyKeyboardDotXML.bat and it will create a template keyboard.xml. Run:

notepad %appdata%\xbmc\userdata\keymaps\keyboard.xml

to edit the file in Notepad.

XBMC has millions of actions, and it's not always obvious what action you need. If you have specific requirements post them here and I'll give you the changes you need to your keyboard.xml. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly :-)
