Can you please tell me what version of windows are you using Win 7 32bit etc... Also make sure the your "Green start Button" sends "Win-Alt-Enter" combination and not the Windows default WM_INPUT.

Also If I were you I would make sure that keyboard.xml is placed in this folder %AppData%\XBMC\userdata\keymaps

elitegamer360 Wrote:If you used any of my Configs then do not worry about the "Green start button", in showkey.exe it display "Win-Alt" only, thats fine its not unbound or anything and Autohotkey detects the full "Win-Alt-Enter" perfectly. BTW Autohotkey intercepts what your remote sends before Windows detects your key presses and has no other effect on your registry, XBMC or Keyboard.xml. it simply receives a key signal and then sends a result as required.

I will check the Win-Alt-Enter combo tonight.

spontex Wrote:Ok, this is exactly what I did but it looks to me that I cannot have both the Green MCE Button working with AutoHotKey AND inside XBMC. It looks that it has no effect inside XBMC (perhaps AutoHotKey catches the signal and does not let XBMC have it?).

elitegamer360 Wrote:I- So does the Green start button start XBMC when using the autohotkey script?

elitegamer360 Wrote:II- Do you have XBMC setup to "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" ? "It does not matter what option you use" but what matters is that how XBMC responds to the green button when pressed! Can you tell me how XBMC behaves when press the grees start button if it minimized or not in focus please? if it regains focus does it still not activate the home screen the "GSB Jump" as I call it!?

elitegamer360 Wrote:III- What is the remote you are using?

elitegamer360 Wrote:IV- What is the Receiver you are using?

elitegamer360 Wrote:V- Did you use or still use any other Remote setup helpers apps like "EventGhost etc..?

elitegamer360 Wrote:VI- Does your IR receiver use the "eHome" Driver in the device manager?

elitegamer360 Wrote:VII-What windows version are you using and what type 32bit, 64... etc...?

elitegamer360 Wrote:VIII- What XBMC version are you using?

elitegamer360 Wrote:IX- Under the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" do you have "eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR)"? If "Yes" continue to the steps below, if "NO" let me know what drivers are you using !... _>

elitegamer360 Wrote:X- I want to you to create a folder and copy your current Keyboard.xml, the autohotkey script your are using and a copy of your current Remote registry settings in this folder. Zip it, rar it or what ever you use to compress files then upolad it to your favorite file host site then post the link back here please. I want the exact files you are using please!

spontex Wrote:Dear elitegamer360,
Thank you for your patience. I have finally found out the problem in my configuration: I had applied your alternative setup but I had not seen that I also had to use the "Option 2 keyboard.xml" in order to get the Green Start Button to work.
I have done so and now it seems to work fine!
Switching from the "false fullscreen mode" to the "true fullscreen mode" may have helped too.

spontex Wrote:Everything was working fine, so I decided to add the PVR commands to my (user) keyboard.xml:

Code:

<g mod="ctrl">XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 31,0, 10,0)</g> <!-- activate EPG -->
      <t mod="ctrl,shift">XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 32,0, 11,0)</t> <!-- activate TV -->
      <o mod="ctrl">XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 34,0, 13,0)</o> <!-- activate Recordings -->
      <m mod="ctrl,shift">PlayDVD</m>

I added this code and replaced the duplicate commands.
On the keyboard, the" Ctrl-Shift-T", "B" and "Ctrl-Shift-M" shortcuts work but the "Ctrl-G" does not.
On the remote, only the "Ctrl-Shift-M" (DVD Menu) works.

I will now try to provide all the details you requested.

Code:

<key id="61457" mod="ctrl,alt">Notification(Key, key id="61457", 3)</key>

Is what the Green Button is mapped to.

One question though, I'm sure it was asked before (or maybe it wasn't) but I really can't read all 84 pages looking for it ....
I don't mind launching the xbmc from the green button, no big deal for me.
So I opted out from installing that "hack".
However, TAB key currently assigned to the red button is somewhat hard to use for me, it works, but I would like to change it to the green button if possible. How can I do that ?
