Hi,

 

I´m trying to add a new command to the keymap.xml as my number buttons dont work by default.

 

in the log I get events like this:

15:53:23 T:3046182912   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 45304:202 0 KEY_NUMERIC_2 devinput (KEY_NUMERIC_2)
15:53:23 T:3046182912   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 45370:202 0 KEY_NUMERIC_2_UP devinput (KEY_NUMERIC_2_UP)

15:53:25 T:3046182912   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 47684:205 0 KEY_NUMERIC_5 devinput (KEY_NUMERIC_5)

Now I tried something like:



    
.....
      StepBack
      StepForward
      BigStepForward
      BigStepBack
      PreviousMenu
      OSD
      OSD
      OSD
      CodecInfo
      Info
      XBMC.ActivateWindow(PVROSDGuide)
      XBMC.ActivateWindow(Teletext)
      NextSubtitle
      NextSubtitle
      AudioNextLanguage
      Playlist
      AudioNextLanguage
      SkipNext
      SkipPrevious
    
    
    Number1
    Number2
    Number3
    Number4
    
  
.....

but this doesn´t seem to work.

 

Anyone mastered this?

 

Thanks in advance

Try looking at this thread in the Rasplex Forums (I did a search, did you?):

I did a search, did you?
 

Yeah, I did; read this thread and every other thread concerning remote stuff.

The Problem is that I don´t try to remap a button, I already did that and it worked.

The known buttons get recognized in the log as:

15:53:15 T:3046182912   DEBUG: OnKey: leftshift (d2) pressed, action is PageUp

I have the numeric buttons that show up like this:

15:53:16 T:3046182912   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 38651:192 0 KEY_CHANNELUP_UP devinput (KEY_CHANNELUP_UP)

I already looked up some LIRC instructions, but as I´m new to the IR stuff I don´t quite get it.

I thought there might have been someone with the same problem who could simply tell me the synthax.

If thats not the case and the problem is somewhat more complicated I´m sorry for the question; I´ll have to dive deeper into the LIRC Stuff.

Thanks

I finally got it to work, maybe someone else could use the info too:

The trick is to map the unkonown keys in a Lircmap.xml in the userdata folder with content like this:

 
   
     KEY_NUMERIC_1
     KEY_NUMERIC_2
     KEY_NUMERIC_3
     KEY_NUMERIC_4
     KEY_NUMERIC_5
     KEY_NUMERIC_6
     KEY_NUMERIC_7
     KEY_NUMERIC_8
     KEY_NUMERIC_9
     KEY_NUMERIC_0
   
 

where is the key in the keymap.xml and KEY_NUMERIC_0 is the recognized command from the log.

One other thing; my IR Remote sends single commands for the volume, the buttons for channelup and down send repeated commands.

If you change the two assignments you can adjust volume with a long press on the channelbuttons.

Hope this helps,
