For configuring buttons in GUI by selecting action and pressing them.





Current limitations:
-No way to assign different keys to different inputs. (No sure if worth the trouble implementing)
-No detecting if a key is used multiple times. What will most likely happen is that one of actions will be executed.
-Depending on what was previously assigned, xbmc might execute the old action i background when pressing the new key to assign.

If you find any actions missing, let me know in this thread!

Install from official add-on repository.

Looks very awesome. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work :(

I get a script error whenever I try to open it.

XBMC v12.2
Mac OS X10.8.4

Log file with a fresh install of XBMC and only the Keymap Editor add-on installed (outside of defaults, that is):

Ouch. Not working with python26 apparently. Oh you OS X and your old versions! I'll find a replacement for that class and update. Thanks for reporting

[Ned Scott]

Shouldn't that not matter for XBMC? XBMC for Mac OS X doesn't use external Python. Frodo's internal Python is what is limited to 2.6.

Got same problem with script error but i am on Win7 and latest official XBMC

Not sure what you mean.. On both my linux computer and my openelec box xbmc has always been using python 2.7 so I never noticed, or even though about others having 2.6.

not all OS versions use the same.

[takoi]

Yeah, I get that now

[Ned Scott]

Oh you linux-based OSes and your external system-wide libraries :)

Funny thing is that I actually have Python 2.7 installed, but XBMC for Mac OS X can't (?) be compiled to use external libraries.

In the meantime, I'll check it out on my linux HTPCs. Still very awesome to finally have a GUI for keymapping!

I hope you get this working, a 'GUI click to map' keymap editor is long overdue. Will this advance to the next item after mapping a key?(so there is no 'down' button overwrites).

[Ned Scott]

With the update I can confirm that it works very well. I can also confirm that the issue is Python compatibility with XBMC's internal 2.6, since I've already updated to Python 2.7 on my copy of OS X ;)

Excellent add-on!

I can also confirm it is working great(W7). I did have a problem when mapping the wrong function and trying to clear it.(kept getting a script error) I had a copy of my keyboard.XML file so I was able to go back, any way to add a backup/restore? I was wondering how many options would be available to map keys, and when I got into the menus I was a little overwhelmed(looks like a lot of keys are redundant/unused though)

I used it in debian and works very good

Hi,

I tried it and it's really cool, should be there in the settings by default. Ned, is this something that could be pushed?

One feature that I couldn't find "System.LogOff", I used to map this to one button to switch between my two libraries. Now I've mapped to XBMC restart, but it's not quite the same and takes a bit more time. There could be an option to manually add something.

Thanks,

JS

It tried this this morning on a Pivos Linux and set the 'OK' to pause/play. After I did this the 'OK' wouldn't work to access anything even on the home screen. How do I restore the button? Can I delete the keymap folder in userdata and restart the box?
