How to change language during DVD playback - Chang - 2012-05-27
Hi forum,
when I want to change the language during media playback, I have to open the player controls (OSD), hunt with a mouse for the button and adjust the language (there is a save option to set one language as default, but it seem that it does not work for all media). This is time consuming and a keyboard is always needed.
Is there an easier option like pressing “N” to cycle through the languages?
I have read the wiki “common keyboard controls” but could not find a simple way to switch the language.
Thank you.

If you map a button to (I think) "audionextlanguage" it should work. Just make a keyboard.xml file (a blank text file with that name) under xbmc/userdata/keymaps/ and add something like:
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<N>audionextlanguage</N>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>RE: How to change language during DVD playback - Chang - 2012-05-28

You don't say what operating system you are using. If you're using Windows grab KeyMapEdit from http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/ as this makes it easier to create and edit key mapping files.

i fosted in the windows sub-forum, but Ned shifted the post with his answer. Windows is my OS.
I will try editing the keymapy.
