It would be great if you can post the news in both Dutch & English

Is there a way to pick a subtitle-file from the remote or do I have to use my mouse ?

And if XBMC find a file, how to turn it on by using the remote... ??

Sorry my bad english......

Hello,
same situation for me. All is working great! ( lirc 1.0.1 )
Except I don't manage to show/hide or switch subtitle with the remote ... I tried with Xbox Media Extender Remote Video Controls wiki.

Any help?
THX.

You need to create a custom keymap for your remote.
All the info required is here

I personally mapped the T button at the bottom of the remote to subtitles toggle and I also changed the top left button to change the aspect ratio plus a couple of other changes as I don't like the default.

Thanks for your help.
I already read wiki page for keymap.xml and didn't manage to make it work... Rolleyes

If you can provide me your files, I certainely would be able to map buttons.

PS : Did you just create keymap.xml in $home/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/ ?

I have the same problem. I don't know how to map the keys because their not just standard keyboard keys (like A or ENTER).

Because of the Asrock 330 with Remote is such a popular HTPC system, it would be usefull to have information on keymapping, more then just a request xml file (for me). So I know which keys are available Smile

Is that information available?

Now that im at home I can give more info.
I created a file in /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps called 330ht.xml and inserted the following. However I am going to change it soon as this was a quick hack and Im not happy with it.

PHP Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <info>CodecInfo</info>
      <select>OSD</select>
      <display>ShowSubtitles</display>          
    </remote>
    <universalremote>          
      <obc148>AspectRatio</obc148>
    </universalremote>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap> 

The thing is that I just noticed that my custom button obc148 was removed from Lircmap.xml, does updating xbmc reset this file?

Anyway the way I work this out is the following.

1. In console type "irw" and determine the name of the buttons you want to change by pressing them on the remote.
2. In console "sudo nano /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml" and find the xbmc button name associated to the irw code.
Lircmap.xml layout is the following (Be careful if you change anything)

PHP Code:

<lircmap>
    <remote device="mceusb">
             <xbmc button name>irw button name</xbmc button name> 

If the irw button does not appear in the mceusb section then you can add a custom button via the following

PHP Code:

<obc148>irw button name</obc148>
<obc149>second irw button name</obc149>
etc 

3. In console "sudo nano /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/330ht.xml" (name of xml can be anything you want) and under the following

PHP Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote> 

enter the current xbmc button name from lircmap.xml and the actual command you want xbmc to perform (Avaliable commands are in wiki here)

PHP Code:

<xbmc button name>xbmc command</xbmc button name> 

If it is a custom button then it must be under universalremote and NOT remote.
e.g

PHP Code:

</remote>
    <universalremote>          
      <obc148>xbmc command</obc148>
    </universalremote>
  </FullscreenVideo> 

then reboot and test.
