I just cant think of any reason that would stop the JumpSMS from working except with your own KEYBOARD LAYOUT maybe! What keyboard language are you using? just for testing, can you add the "English (United kingdom) or the (United states)" keyboard version in windows and make sure its selected when launching XBMC, also in XBMC _> Settings_> Appearance_> International_. try and select English. hope this helps.

Thanks EG! You are most welcome :-) Cheers, EG. - Eisi2005 - 2011-03-20 @elitegamer thx for your great help. Shame on me. I have modified your xml with my entries but don´t copy it to the dir. i think too much children scream. After copying the file to my userdir all works very fine !!

I've now ditched EventGhost and am happily using your setup! - elitegamer360 - 2011-03-29 bramblepants Wrote:Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this! I've now ditched EventGhost and am happily using your setup! You are Welcome :-) Just for info I've been working on a simple method to automate the whole setup process, so very soon you might just download one ".exe" file and it'll do all the work for you :-) the only thing you will have to do is a "restart". Single setup files and procedure will still be on site and the only new thing will be added is an automated install section. I'm currently finalizing the setup and testing it on several systems, if all goes well I'll post a first release that can be tested by new users. Cheers, EG. - killerpoptart - 2011-04-01 Hi, this probably isn't the right thread for this post, but it's the best one i could find for this question. Basically I have the adesso ARC-1100 remote which apparently doesn't work with this and just sends keyboard presses. The arrows, enter, and backspace buttons work just fine along with play, pause, stop, FF and rew. The ONLY button i am missing that would make my setup complete is the info button. I did notice that the remote can send # and * and I was wondering if I can edit the keymap so that when i press, say #, it ends up opening the info menu. I'm a complete noob when it comes to editing the keymap however and I tried using this before i found out my remote wouldn't work with it. Could someone give me some specific instructions on how to edit it in order to do this? I would be eternally grateful :-) - elitegamer360 - 2011-04-01 @ killerpoptart: I can make your info button do what you want using Autohotkey, I did it in the past for several people on this thread and on other threads as well. If i remember correctly your Remote in general "info or i" button sends a right mouse click, if so its pretty easy to make it trigger info in XBMC instead of a right mouse click, without losing the right mouse click outside XBMC :-) Please confirm thats ok with you or I'll help you mod your keymap instead if you want. Gota go to sleep now though :-P will check your reply tomorrow :-) Cheers, EG. - killerpoptart - 2011-04-01 elitegamer360 Wrote:@ killerpoptart: YES! That would be perfect. I just wasn't sure how to go about doing it or which way would be the easiest. Let me know when you get the chance. I really appreciate your help! :-) - elitegamer360 - 2011-04-01 killerpoptart Wrote:YES! That would be perfect. I just wasn't sure how to go about doing it or which way would be the easiest. Let me know when you get the chance. I really appreciate your help! :-) See this thread similar problem to yours, I think I will do an update to my first post sometime in the coming few days and I'll include all the AHK scripts that I wrote so that it will be easy for people to find in the future. :-) Anyways download this script, unzip the file to your Windows start menu "Startup" folder so that the script will automatically start every time you start your PC. Make sure autohotkey is installed and to activate the script for the first time just double click on it. For more info about remaping your remote buttons to keyboard.xml see my remaping page tutorial section R2 Cheers, EG. - thaiboxer - 2011-04-01 Just want to say thanks for all the work into this, it woked awesome! elitegamer360 Wrote:ALL NEW UPDATES OR NEW INFO WILL GO HERE http://xbmccustomregis.sourceforge.net/ THREAD WILL STILL BE USED FOR SUPPORT AND UPDATE TRIGGERS/BUMPS Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible with my site I would recommend any other browser that use webkit instead. - killerpoptart - 2011-04-03 elitegamer360 Wrote:See this thread similar problem to yours, I think I will do an update to my first post sometime in the coming few days and I'll include all the AHK scripts that I wrote so that it will be easy for people to find in the future. :-) The autohotkey script worked great! I guess I lied when I said that was the only other button that I wanted to work lol. I think the only two others I would like to get working would be the Context Menu and perhaps subtitles on/off. Would you possibly have a hotkey script for that? Or is that something I would have to remap. I tried messing around with the remap, doing something like: <#>ContextMenu</#> But that didn't do anything. I used the # because that is a button that I know i will never need in XBMC. There is also the * button as well that i'm pretty sure i'll never use, so i figured i might be able to remap those keyboard presses to those commands? I imagine i'm going about it the wrong way though. Again, thanks so much for help :-) - elitegamer360 - 2011-04-03 killerpoptart Wrote:The autohotkey script worked great!

I tried messing around with the remap, doing something like: Thats fairly easy to do with keyboard.xml :-) If you followed the tutorial I posted eariler it will help you understand what to do next. For now use Showkey.exe to find out what your "#" and "*" buttons send. start showkey.exe then point your remote to the receiver and press the "# and *" then post back the results of each button here and I will tell you what to do next.

Ya, I think I might have been putting the showkey string into the wrong section of the keymap, but i'm not sure. It might also be worth mentioning that i installed your plugin and i think it might have editted the keymap previously, so I don't think i'm starting with the original XBMC keymap (if that makes any difference). I did notice too that there are some legit MCE buttons on the remote like the red, blue, green and yellow ones. But here are the strings for the extra buttons on my remote: Browser: <browser_home>Notification(Key, browser_home, 3)</browser_home> *: <numpadtimes>Notification(Key, numpadtimes, 3)</numpadtimes> #: <numlock>Notification(Key, numlock, 3)</numlock> grey tv <o mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, o, 3)</o> grey picture <g mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, g, 3)</g> grey movie <t mod="ctrl">Notification(Key, t, 3)</t> grey dvd <m mod="ctrl,shift">Notification(Key, m, 3)</m> I tried the browser one but it wouldn't work. I'm not sure if i'm inserting it into the right section of the keymap? Or is it possible it could be a system wide command or something? Again thanks for your help! :-) |
