Codec Info via Remote - Azaman - 2012-07-06
Is it possible to open the CodecInfo screen (O-Key) with the original AppleTV Remote using Crystalbuntu?
I've tried a few keys with the remote and can't seem to do so; could anyone suggest how this may be done using customisation?
TIA

You can change the keymap for long holds of buttons as well as just pushing them. Here is the keymap.xml that I previously used.
Code: <keymap>
<global>
<joystick name="AppleRemote">
<!-- plus --> <button id="1">Up</button>
<!-- minus --> <button id="2">Down</button>
<!-- left --> <button id="3">Left</button>
<!-- right --> <button id="4">Right</button>
<!-- center --> <button id="5">Select</button>
<!-- menu --> <button id="6">PreviousMenu</button>
<!-- hold center--> <button id="7">Fullscreen</button>
<!-- hold menu --> <button id="8">ContextMenu</button>
<!-- old buttons for ATV <2.2, used on OSX -->
<!-- hold left --> <button id="9">TakeScreenshot</button>
<!-- hold right --> <button id="10">Right</button>
<!-- new aluminium remote buttons -->
<!-- play --> <button id="12">Play</button>
<!-- Learned remote buttons (ATV >2.3) -->
<!-- Play --> <button id="70">Play</button>
<!-- Pause --> <button id="71">Pause</button>
<!-- Stop --> <button id="72">Stop</button>
<!-- Previous --> <button id="73">SkipPrevious</button>
<!-- Next --> <button id="74">SkipNext</button>
<!-- Rewind --> <button id="75">Rewind</button>
<!-- Forward --> <button id="76">FastForward</button>
<!-- Return --> <button id="77">OSD</button>
<!-- Enter --> <button id="78">ShowVideoMenu</button>
<!-- few gestures from Apple's iPhone Remote (ATV > 2.3 ?) -->
<!-- SwipeLeft --> <button id="80">Left</button>
<!-- SwipeRight --> <button id="81">Right</button>
<!-- SwipeUp --> <button id="82">Up</button>
<!-- SwipeDown --> <button id="83">Down</button>

It gets placed in /root/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps. Go over the file to see what each button does, and can do. You can change the keymap to your liking.

Thanks for that
I'm trying to figure what key it is you use to view codec info during video playback? I'd like to try mapping 'menu + enter' to achieve this?
RE: Codec Info via Remote - .:B:. - 2012-07-07
His config clearly shows what button he's using:
Code: <button id="8">CodecInfo</button>
Usually the keymap files document which number is assigned to what button, espescially with remotes like Apple's.
RE: Codec Info via Remote - pumkinut - 2012-07-08
The button number assignments are at the top of the file, the function to button assignments are below.

Cleary is a subjective term from your perspective.
I read the post from my phone so have not easily been able to 'clearly' see that. I'll check from a pc browser when I can. Thanks.
RE: Codec Info via Remote - pumkinut - 2012-07-08
No, it's pretty clear.
Also, I don't think you're going to be able to set up the keymap in the way you want. I don't think it allows for simultaneous buttons to be pushed for a command. You can try, but I don't think it will work. As you can see from my config, I have codec info set for a long push of the menu button.
RE: Codec Info via Remote - Azaman - 2012-07-08
Thanks, useful to know.
Crystalbuntu's default setting for holding menu down is to allow you back into navigating xbmc whilst the media playback continues. I was looking to see if I could add in another approach but looks like I'll have to sacrifice a key.
