[WIP] Keymap config

Got inspired by the flirc blog post so I made this quick prototype, and it turned out to work. It lets you configure buttons through the gui. (just to be clear: this is unrelated to flirc and should work with keyboard, remotes and any other devices).

I'm thinking of adding a wizard style menu because it can become quite cluttery sometimes. Ideas? Thoughts?

Looks great can't wait to try it.

yeah looks good (code also ).

One small comment:
You don't need to include elementtree in your tree, you can set it as dependency in addon.xml:

Hi,

Is this addon still working in the latest XBMC? If not, is it still under development? Also, is there a way to get the actions list from XBMC (the list in https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ator.cpp), instead of having to put it in a python script inside the addon? That would make maintaining it a lot simpler I guess.

The reason I am asking this, is that I was looking for this kind of addon for my CEC-enabled remote. If it doesn't work anymore, and the developer has no plans to maintain it, I could fork and have a go at it. Good way to learn XBMC addon development, and python in general. This code looks very clean and would be a great starting point.

Greetings,
JeDi

I haven't left it.:) The plan is to clean up the gui a bit and then put it up to the repo. I just not sure when I'll have time yet because it still work, it just that the gui isn't the best.

I'm not really sure I understand what you're asking. Are you missing some actions? The addon works in stable Eden, but I have no intention maintaining a version for alpha builds of xbmc. When it's feature freeze and usable, the missing actions can be added no problem (if there even are any).

Thanks a lot, I will try if it runs on the current alpha (I use a Raspberry Pi, so there are no stable versions yet). The questions were just to understand the code better, I am just learning how to create XBMC addons.

First time seeing this and I'm currently having problems mapping buttons to functions. Does this work by selecting a function and clicking a key/button to map that command? I have tried the MCE remote plugin, but you have to manually type in the key (eg:Shiftlock) rather than pressing the key you want which doesn't work with a remote(without added work anyways).

I've tried this addon. But i cannot find the right item.

I want to edit my buttons for volume up and down for video and audio playback. But wich item must i edit?
