You would need to map a button (in this example I have used the learned FF button) and change the keymap to:

Code:

<button id="18">XBMC.ActivateWindow(Home)</button>

In your keymap file (/var/mobile/library/preferences/xbmc/userdata/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml) change line 92 and 93 from

Code:

<button id="1">VolumeUp</button>

      <button id="2">VolumeDown</button>

to

Code:

<button id="1">BigStepForward</button>

      <button id="2">BigStepBack</button>

Is there a way to go to DVD menu directly?

My '/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/keymaps' directory is empty (accessed by SSH file transfer). Any idea what's going on?

It shouldn't be, if you are on ATV2 then there should be a joystick.AppleRemote.xml file in there. Have you looked using Cyberduck?

Awesome! Thank you so much. For getting to the screen for subtitles - on/off and which ones- would it be XBMC.ActivateWindow(osdaudiosettings) ?

deanmv · 2012-04-26 22:26

You have two options here, there is:

ShowSubtitles Toggles whether subtitles are shown or not.
NextSubtitle Change to the next subtitle language, if there is more than one.

So it would be (same buttons example as before)

Code:

<button id="18">ShowSubtitles</button>

or

Code:

<button id="18">NextSubtitle</button>

I wasn't using Cyberduck, installed it and confirms the dir "/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/keymaps" is empty. Do I need to logout of XBMC or something?
