Full Version: How to configure remote/keyboard for VDR OSD
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
In order to navigate VDR's UI it is essential to use color buttons but those have predefined functions in XBMC. You can remap any button/key when being in OSD mode. Just add a section "Addon" to your remote.xml or keybord.xml:

Code:
<Addon>
    <remote>
      <red>Red</red>
      <green>Green</green>
      <yellow>Yellow</yellow>
      <blue>Blue</blue>
    </remote>
</Addon>

You can override other buttons as well but on a default XBMC installation you only need to override the color buttons.. Those are the actions/buttons recognized by VDR:

Code:
ACTION_MOVE_LEFT
ACTION_MOVE_RIGHT
ACTION_MOVE_UP
ACTION_MOVE_DOWN
ACTION_SELECT_ITEM
ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU
REMOTE_0
REMOTE_1
REMOTE_2
REMOTE_3
REMOTE_4
REMOTE_5
REMOTE_6
REMOTE_7
REMOTE_8
REMOTE_9
ACTION_NAV_BACK
ACTION_TELETEXT_RED
ACTION_TELETEXT_GREEN
ACTION_TELETEXT_YELLOW
ACTION_TELETEXT_BLUE)
I use the android Yatse Remote app for my phone to controll Kodi and dont own a keyboard or remote. I dont suppose the is anyway for me to control the plugin with that? Failing that could i set it up via ssh ?
Is it correct that VDR's OSD is only accessible from within addon settings?
No, it is accessible via PVR settings - client specific
That's what I meant, thx :-)
