Resume video after [EXIT]

I’m using an ORC-1100 remote to control my setup.

When I press [EXIT] while watching a show or movie, it returns me to the menu while the audio keeps playing. I get the icon on the far left showing the currently playing video.

What command can I use to return to the video?

You need to map a button to the Fullscreen function.

Create a keymap.xml file in /storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps folder and put something like this in:

  <keymap>
  <global>
  <remote>
        <yellow>ContextMenu</yellow>
        <green>Subtitle</green>
        <blue>Fullscreen</blue>
        <red>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Home)</red>
 </remote>
 </global>
 </keymap>

The above example uses the coloured buttons and provides access to the Fullscreen, Subtitle Home Screen and Context menu, but you can change them to anything you want.

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

Doesn’t seem to work. Placed the file at /storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml after some wiki reading. Copied and pasted your contents exactly. None of the buttons bring back fullscreen video.

RasPlex:~/.plexht/userdata/keymaps # cat remote.xml
  <keymap>
  <global>
  <remote>
        <yellow>ContextMenu</yellow>
        <green>Subtitle</green>
        <blue>Fullscreen</blue>
        <red>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Home)</red>
 </remote>
 </global>
 </keymap>
RasPlex:~/.plexht/userdata/keymaps #

Wrong filename, filename must be keymap.xml.

Sorry, I should’ve been more clear. I tried your path first and that didn’t work. So I googled and tried that other path.

The last two folders of your path also didn’t exist and had to be created.

The folder /storage/.plexht/userdata exists by default it contains several other folders critical to the operation of Rasplex, one of those is keymaps.

This is the full directory for /storage/.plexht/userdata

Your original post specified /storage/userdata/keymaps and omitted .plexht. After some Googling, I found the .plexht part, but only found references to remote.xml in there. So that’s why I tried that file name.

So I now have /storage/.plexht/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml, copypastaed from your post, and it still doesn’t produce the desired effects after a reboot.

Red returns me to the menu from playing video, as if I pressed backspace. It doesn’t go the opposite way. Green and yellow do nothing. Blue gives me this window whether I’m in the video or the menu.

Yeah, sorry about that, although I did edit the post to correct it.

The old mappings are still being loaded, the new keymap.xml is not being picked up, are you sure you have it in the right folder, are the other folders appearing in your /storage/.plextht/userdata folder?

I know this works with that type of generic MCE remote as a number of users have used that file.
