Going "back" from a video playing

After following XBMC for years and toying around I finally committed to using XBMC fulltime. So I setup my firefly with eventghost, got some automation setup and everything seems to be working rather nicely thus far....however, the button on my remote that executes the "BACK" command does not go "BACK" when a ideo is playing. I haveto hit a button mapped to "DISPLAY" to get the same desired effect. NOT intuitive at all.

This is with Eden and the default skin of course. Anyone have any insight into this other than live with it? It's not WAF or guest-friendly at all.

BACK reverses all your previous movements.

ie Home > Videos > Movies > Play movie < Movies < Videos < Home

Not true. If a movie is playing, "Back" is trying to skip around the movie....not actually go back

Not for me it doesn't.

If that's the case either your remote is not sending a backspace when you press the back button, or you've have manually added a mapping for the <backspace> key.

A debug log will show us what is going on. Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging, and restart XBMC then wait a minute or two for all the startup tasks to finish. Start a video, then press the Back button on the remote. Note the time you do this so we can find the keypress in the log. Now stop the video and close XBMC.

Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

"%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

Alternatively, if you grab ShowKey from http://xbmcmce.sourceforge.net/ this will show you exactly what keypress the back button is sending.
