Hello,
I have recently set up an XBMC system with a Wesena IR remote receiver, and an RC6 remote with separate Play and Pause buttons.
The receiver is configured to send proper MCE keycodes (CTRL-P for pause, CTRL-SHIFT-P for play).
Keymap.xml correctly has the "Play" function" assigned to CTRL-SHIFT-P, and "Pause" to CTRL-P. The trouble is that they both do the same thing!
The issue I'm encountering is that XBMC treats its "Play", "Pause" and "Play/Pause" functions the same when it comes to playback: Each one of those functions seems to toggle between play and pause.
Most other equipment seems to treat Play and Pause differently. Pause toggles between playing and paused state,, but Play always puts the equipment in playing mode, it never pauses playback.
I have a semblance of understanding of how "Pause" and "Play/Pause" is different within XBMC -- "Pause" toggles playback and pause for media, while "Play/Pause" does the same plus it acts as a selector/OK button when in a file or media list.. But then, how is "Play" different from "Play/Pause"?
I would like to know if it's possible to configure XBMC to make the "Play" function mimic other equipment with discrete play and pause buttons, i.e. make "Play" perform a single function -- put XBMC in state of playback, rather than two functions that depend on the current state.
Hitting "Play" on the remote and holding it just a bit too hard, or "bouncing" the button is annoying -- XBMC treats it as multiple keypresses and plays and pauses, plays and pauses... I'd just like to make it only play.
Thanks in advance!
