XBMC gets dedicated remote - Motorola Nyxboard - Steini - 2012-03-19 21:29
Try unplugging the dongle. I read something about a kernel bug that sometime made the dongle unresponsive. Does happen on occasion to me.

Tried that, it's not a reception issue, the light on the remote does not flash on key press. It's gone off again, I've let the batteries out for half an hour, tried a fresh set too but this time it's staying dead. Looks like I'll email support again.

Personally, I have an HP MCE remote that I mapped out some of the redundant keys to preform specific xbmc functions...(the enter key sends C, the print key sends M, and I made the windows key send mouse commands when held down and the arrows are pressed) so unless they make a full keyboard with all the F keys, Prt Sc, a windows key and so on...I wouldn't spend my money on it...Probably the best fix is a keyboard app on a smart phone or tablet with an IR blaster (cause wifi remotes can lag and that gets old fast) and since many new products are coming out with IR blasters, I'll bet that will be much more popular with the XBMC community

Got your reply this morning, it seems fine now apparently? Really not sure what is going on, but we want to stay on top of it as no-one else has reported this issue

Just received my replacement (2nd one). Fingers crossed! I will report back in a few days or earlier if I run into problems.

I need to be able to open the context menu's. I know it's discussed and that they're likely to be removed in the future (which I think is useless and would downgrade XBMC closer to the iPhone limited standards). But right now we do have context menu's and I need to be able to open them to be able to use the full potential of XBMC. There are two buttons on the remote that do nothing (EPG and USER). How can I use one of them to benefit from the context menu?

Just download a nyxboard custom keyboard.xml and put it in your userdata/keymaps (difference between OS)
Look in this wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Alternative_keyboard.xml_for_Nyxboard
It maps the red button to the context menu.
Works great for me.

Before I could go into peripherals in settings to stop search when it's turned over and set user-button.
But now it seems I'm not able to go in there, why?
(I'm on standard RC2)
I'm gonna try and use a special keyboard .xml since now leaving the keyboard and no longer have direct access to context menu, I need something to be able to delete mistaken episodes. Or other things.
