XBMC MediaKeys - Use your keyboards special keys to control any XBMC on your network! - euphoric - 2009-12-11

I have all these mediakeys on my keyboard that never gets used, so i figured it would be better if i could use them to control XBMC on my HTPC and wrote a small tool for it...

It works by hooking into the low-level keyboard presses, so it's "global" keys (works if the program isn't focused)

You need to enable the web server for this to work...

I've included a keymap that should work for logitech Smile

Fantastic tool, even picks up my remote keys. Now just need more XBMC commands.

Thanks.
