XBMC Windows Keyboard configuration - tspinelli - 2010-11-10 I have seen others with this issue, but none of the answers I have seen fix it for me. I am running XBMC Dharma 4 on a Windows 7 box and using an MCE remote. I would like the up/down/left/right arrows to work on a screen that I believe is called a Virtual Keyboard. It's the screen that comes up when you want to enter a server name, etc. It worked when I was running XBMC Live, but not in the Windows version. In my %APPDATA%\XBMC\system directory I have added a file called advancedsettings.xml with the following lines: <advancedsettings> <navigatevirtualkeyboard>true</navigatevirtualkeyboard> </advancedsettings> I have tried adding a section to my keyboard.xml in the %APPDATA%\XBMC\userdata\keymaps: <VirtualKeyboard> <keyboard> <left>CursorLeft</left> <right>CursorRight</right> </keyboard> </VirtualKeyboard> Here is some output from my xbmc.log: 00:20:30 T:2536 M:738156544 NOTICE: Loaded advancedsettings.xml from special://profile/advancedsettings.xml 00:20:30 T:2536 M:738156544 NOTICE: Contents of special://profile/advancedsettings.xml are... <advancedsettings> <navigatevirtualkeyboard>true</navigatevirtualkeyboard> </advancedsettings> Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-) - jhsrennie - 2010-11-10 Go to Settings, System, Input devices and enable "Remote control sends keyboard presses". You can delete you userdata keymap as it isn't necessary, and neither is the advancedsettings.xml. JR - tspinelli - 2010-11-10 Unbelievable... Thank you SO much! I truly can't believe I wasted so much time trying to figure this out and it was so easy... Thanks! |
