xinxilas Wrote:Hey.. i bought an Remote control from Dealextreme(one of those fake "Keyboard/Mouse IR remote), 've already read many things about customizing with autohotkey, keyboard.xml etc..

BUT...

It works okay out-of-box with XBMC, the only problem is the "MEDIA CENTER BUTTON" which opens Windows Media Center...

The keys pressed by it is the native windows shortcut to open Windows Media Player: WIN+ALT+ENTER

Which is my options to make this button open XBMC? I've tried many things

theotherguy Wrote:Is it possible to add the IR codes to the registry for the actual buttons, rather than changing them to a keycode?

I want to have the RGYB buttons working without having them changed to a key, so it makes more sense to me when adjusting keymaps etc.

Is this even possible?

Using a Harmony remote btw.

jhsrennie Wrote:Your problem is that XBMC for Windows has no way of responding to a signal from the remote unless that signal is a keypress. On *nix and OSX XBMC uses a protocol called LIRC to connect to the remote, but the Windows build doesn't include this.

So there is no key code for a RGYB button? There isn't one on the MCE keyboards??

I use the original mce remote and everything else works fine.
I have added the jumpSMS command to the global settings for the 2-9 numbers in keyboard.xml.
<zero>Number0</o>
<one>Number1</one>
<two>JumpSMS2</two>
<three>JumpSMS3</three>
<four>JumpSMS4</four>
<five>JumpSMS5</five>
<six>JumpSMS6</six>
<seven>JumpSMS7</seven>
<eight>JumpSMS8</eight>
<nine>JumpSMS9</nine>

I have not added the "Elitegamer" registry file because i have done a lot of modifications in the registry myself.
Is there something in the registry that needs to be added for JumpSMS to work?
If i use my PC keyboard i can jump to letters using shift+"letter"
I have a swedish keyboard configuration in windows.

elitegamer360 Wrote:1- Not sure if this works with the swedish keyboard layout, but you need to set your numerical 2-9 buttons in the registry to send 2-9 respectively. Anything other than this will not work.

2- Then in keyboard.xml you need to make sure that

Code:

<one>Number1</one>
      <two>JumpSMS2</two>
      <three>JumpSMS3</three>
      <four>JumpSMS4</four>
      <five>JumpSMS5</five>
      <six>JumpSMS6</six>
      <seven>JumpSMS7</seven>
      <eight>JumpSMS8</eight>
      <nine>JumpSMS9</nine>

are in the

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>

section.

If you still can not manage to make it work then backup your own registry settings and keyboard.xml somewhere safe, then download my "Keyboard.xml v1.81" and "Config.reg v1.25" then test if the jump sms works. If it still does not work then it might be the swedish keyboard not sending the usual numeric keys.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
EG.
