Is there a shortcut for this, that could be bind to a keyboard press? - TjaLfE - 2012-09-20

Hi all...

I'm mapping keys i xbmc for my harmony remote, and i cant seem to find a key, that can bring the channel list up while watching tv.
I can access the list by entering the menu (m-key) and then select the "monitor logoed button"

Is there a way to bring up this "overlay-channel-list" by pressing one key?

Yeah, I'm not sure why this isn't default, but the following mapping in remote.xml does the trick (pressing "Guide" will bring up the channel list)

Code:
<FullScreenVideo>

    <remote>

....

       <title>XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels)</title>

 ...

This maps the Channel display to the Guide button. Also, I would add the following, so that pressing Guide again returns the user to full video with no channel change.

Code:
<PVROSDChannels>

    <remote>

      <title>Back</title>

    </remote>

   </PVROSDChannels>

You can refer to the xbmc wiki for directions on editing remote.xml

Hi again....

so i did som testing, and i'm able to get the OSD Channels to popup while watching tv.

But there is one things that's a bit strange.... IMO....

When i press the mapped key for the OSDPVRChannel(mapped to j key) while at the homescreen, i get the radio channels displayed(not some OSQ window, but the radios in the PVR section. I did the j bind in the <FullScreenVideo> in my keymap, so i don't get it? am I doing something wrong here?

I'm running the Eden PVR build from Pulse-Eight for Windows. I have postet my keymap file here:

Code:
<keymap>

    <global>

        <keyboard>            

            <b>XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 32,0, 11,0)</b>

            <d>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles)</d>

            <e>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</e>            

            <g>XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 31,0, 10,0)</g>

            <h>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Home)</h>            

            <u>PlayerControl(Record)</u>

        </keyboard>

    </global>

    <FullScreenVideo>

        <keyboard>

            <j>XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDChannels)</j>

        </keyboard>

    </FullScreenVideo>

    <PVROSDChannels>

        <keyboard>

            <Enter>Back</Enter>

        </keyboard>

    </PVROSDChannels>

</keymap>

Well... i eventually managed to fix it my self.... Apparrently the j and k keys are binded to something by default, so by setting it to some other key, it got fixed
