Can you elaborate on changing the parent folder?


RE: parent folder action mapping? - neno1978 - 2015-11-25

Of course. i have mapped the backspace in keyboard.xml , now when i press it, go back and refresh my add-on container . i would like that parent folder (..) to be press, or select can do the same.
is it posible?? or is it a stupid crazy? Wink


RE: parent folder action mapping? - k4sh1n - 2015-11-26

Sorry, I still don't understand the action you require from the parent folder.
The backspace on the keyboard.xml is already by default assigned to: "Back". The assignment of "Select" is set to the Enter or the Return key.

When you say add-on container are you making an add-on? Or are we still discussing the parent folder inside of KODI itself?

Well , sorry , i have my keyboard.xml with The <backspace> run a script for two action ; back and before refresh container . The addon is for tvshows , and de back-refresh is for watch or unwatch episode. You watch a episode and when you go back , show a list of episodes of a tv show , and if not refresh no change the unwatch episode. I would like , if it is possible, mapp the ".." For this two action Wink ... Sorry for my bad, bad english

For watch and un-watching an episode default assignment is "W"

May be easier to press "W"

Just referring to refresh of the episode list/watched episode action, is it a specific needed action, or something that can be mapped to another button?


RE: parent folder action mapping? - neno1978 - 2015-11-28

Yes, is a specific needed action, I don't want user interaction , it must be automatic. I have do it with keyboard, remotes, remotes app(ios, android) MCE , CEC control , all work fine in my addon with custom keyboard, remote, appcomand xmls . When you go to the determinate page where back-refresh is needs , the customs are charge and reloadkeymaps , when back-refresh finished , custom are delete and reloadkeymaps again. I am afraid that it is not possible with touchscreen and parent folder (..) Wink
