New Updates Online Big Grin

Regisrtry Config v1.23

1- Changed Button "T - Teletext" to send "Ctrl-S". So that we can use the remote to take screenshots. No need for duplication as The red button Already sends "Tab" that toggles video/visualisation to full screen or to the background.

Keyboard.xml v1.75 New Update

1- * Star button Will Update the video Library Database.
2- # Hash button Will Clear the Library Database.

I see my self using library updates and cleaning quite frequently so I thought might as well use the last 2 unassigned buttons on the remote to do just that.


Hopefuly during the weekend I will move to Sourceforge host so that I would not rely on mediafire and other lame adfull hosts.

Cheers,
EG.

Now moved files to Sourceforge & hope no more troubles downloading files any more Big Grin

The site aint complete yet but will complete updating it in due time Nod

Note: there are no problems with downloading reg files any more! the file will be downloaded as .reg and not as .txt like it used to be with mediafire. Also I had to zip Keyboard.xml because it kept opening it self in Internet explorer instead of downloading normaly. Zip was a good solution Wink

cheers,
EG.

if you see this string below then the Green start button is actually "sending CTRL + SHFT+ W"

KeyID 16(0x10) - VK_Shift

Mod Ctrl Shift

"<key id="61456" mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, key id="61456", 3)</key>"

I've been busy and finally had the time to try this. Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately reapplying the reg and restarting didn't work.

Showkey outputs
KeyID 88 (0x58) - VK_X
Mod Ctrl Shift
<x mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, x, 3)</x>

rather than the string that you have listed above. What should I do?

Thank you,
NS

It does not seem that you are using my latest reg config because your setup is sending Ctrl+Shift+X !

OK, we can do this the long way but lets do it the short way for now. Please just answer my questions and do what I suggest.


1- Are you using my latest .reg file v1.23? If so have you made any changes?
2- Is all your remote keys functioning properly except the Green Start button? assuming you are using my latest config v1.23!
3- What XBMC version are you using (Camelot, Dharma etc..)? just out of curiosity, not that important!

Now, please lets just try this:
"The XBMC shortcut on your desktop" Delete it!
##### while still on your desktop just hit_____> Ctrl Shift W [did it do anything]?

NO, then hit_______> Ctrl Shift X [did it do anything]? No, Yes??

hopefully Yes! As It should launch XBMC, if it did then create XBMC shourtcut and set the shortcut key as Ctrl + Shift + X.
NOTE: dont hit "+" it will be shown automatically in the shortcut key Smile

post back with the results, if nothing worked then I'll tell you what to do next Smile

EG.

Applied latest reg config from sourceforge, overwrote keymap file with the one from the first post. No change in remote control behavior.

However, your advice gave me an idea. XBMC shortcut saved to taskbar, right click, Properties, click on Shortcut key box, pressed green button, which assigned "Ctrl + Shift + X"

Now it's functioning as intended, Ctrl + Shift + W not needed!

I am glad you have it sorted Laugh

Keyboard.xml updated to v1.76

Thanks to the feedback received regarding the Clean Library, now changed To Launch Playlist Menu instead Big Grin

8- # Hash button Launch Playlist Menu "Support for remotes with no Radio button."[/i]

Just download the Keyboard.xml from the front page and replace it with the original and everything will just work.


EDIT: in the coming couple of days will post an updated link in the front page redirecting to my Sourceforge web project host which is still under construction now, I should be able to have more details added that I can't use in my thread because of the 10000 charachter limit. Laugh
