Trying to map an unused button on MCE remote

I've got my MCE remote working using the devinput driver and the RC6 protocol

I'm running
openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
3.1.10-1.9-desktop
xbmc-11.0-3.5.x86_64

All the normal buttons work, but I wanted to map an unused button to a xbmc action that is included in the default config.

lirc recognizes the button press and maps it to the correct KEY, but I have not figured out how to get xbmc to take the desired action.

I thought that it would be in the Lircmap.xml. I added the following line, but it did not work. To simplify the example, I have tried to assign 2 buttons the same action

<left>KEY_MEDIA</left>
<left>KEY_LEFT</left>


Here is what I get in the debug log when I press each button. (left, media, left, media)

Where is the proper place to map the KEY_MEDIA to a xbmc action such as Left?

Never mind.. I found it. the missing piece was the keymaps/remote.xml file.

Here is a good guide I eventually found that answered my question. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=45972
