Has anyone figured out a solution to jumping to movies by letters? If you use Shift-H, for instance, on the keyboard, XBMC lists will jump to H. I'd like to be able to use the number keys (using them like sms messages) to do the same.

Anyone done this?

Thanks.

Ive got that working. Ive setup the remote to send keyboard keys for 0 to 9 then edited the <MyVideoLibrary> part of keyboard.xml to look like this:

Code:
<MyVideoLibrary>    
   <keyboard>
      <two>JumpSMS2</two>
      <three>JumpSMS3</three>
      <four>JumpSMS4</four>
      <five>JumpSMS5</five>
      <six>JumpSMS6</six>
      <seven>JumpSMS7</seven>
      <eight>JumpSMS8</eight>
      <nine>JumpSMS9</nine>
      <delete>Delete</delete>
      <space>Playlist</space>
      <w>ToggleWatched</w>
   </keyboard>
</MyVideoLibrary>

That works? ShockedEek

This works great. Thanks! Using this idea, I put these in a keyboard.xml file in userdata directory instead of the XBMC Program Files, and also redefine the numbers only, not the other 3 keys.

Code:
<keymap>
  <MyVideoLibrary>    
   <keyboard>
      <two>JumpSMS2</two>
      <three>JumpSMS3</three>
      <four>JumpSMS4</four>
      <five>JumpSMS5</five>
      <six>JumpSMS6</six>
      <seven>JumpSMS7</seven>
      <eight>JumpSMS8</eight>
      <nine>JumpSMS9</nine>
   </keyboard>
  </MyVideoLibrary>
</keymap>

Hey all, just read the thread and am a bit tired. Can't seem to process some of the instructions and looking for a bit of help.

I am running Win7x64 and migrating from mc7+media browser back to XBMC.

I have the latest xbmc release installed and am looking to custom configure my Logitech Harmony One remote. If anybody has the time and is willing to help please feel free to let me know. Limited free time while the mrs is away Nerd

vanOert, has there been any follow up with this post?

Could someone confirm will a Harmony + HP IR + Windows 7 allow you to wake from sleep?

My current IR doesn't seem to wake from sleep.

My current IR doesn't seem to wake from sleep.

My Harmony + Philips RC6 + Win 7 does sleep/wake with no problem. Waking/Sleeping is initiated by sending power toggle, and Win 7 power management is set to "press power to sleep and wake". As long as the IR receiver is RC6, it should work with Win 7 this way.

Ask questions and I'm sure someone will answer.
