Direct Quick Record Command? - BuddyRich - 2013-02-24
Is there a direct "record" action that can be mapped to a specific keyboard button via keymap.xml. Similar to hitting Record on the OSD for quick on the fly recording?
I am not sure if this is the latest list:

But I can't find anything for PVR functions.

The ButtonTranslator.cpp doesn't show anything either, just channel up / down and channel grouping toggles.

Any plans to add a direct action?
Could the same thing be achived via a scripting command like:
SendClick(windowid,id)
I'd just need the window id for the OSD and the ID for the record button on it.

Put following command to your keyboard.xml or remote.xml:
<record>PlayerControl(Record)</record>
This will start Instant-Recording

My remote sends keypresses rather than native MCE commands so this is what I used, but the command was bang on.
<r mod="ctrl">PlayerControl(Record)</r>
Thanks for the help.
