Windows Remote problem

I've got a ms-tech 1200 rev.d case for my htpc. With a ms-tech remote.

In xmbc i only use the remote and no keyboard. Is there any option to program this remote? I want to use the * on the the remote to acces the context menu (C on keyboard)

I hope someone understand my problem.

You can create custom keymaps for the remote.xml or keyboard.xml files, depending on which one your remote is using. You then put these custom keymaps in your userdata folder as mention in the wiki. There are other threads that discuss this process, you can search and read if you need some more info.

How do i know wich one my remote is using? My custom keymaps is now empty.

Grab showkey.exe here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmcmce/...e/download

hit a button, and it will detect the command, and display it as a XBMC-friendly command line taht can be inserted into remote.xml and keyboard.xml.

Try remote.xml first. You copy the file from the XBMC install folder system\kemaps to your userdata\keymaps folder. Then edit it as you need.

When i read the file there is a line

<title>Contextmenu<title>

Can i make this one to
<*>Contextmenu<*> and put i into the custom key map?

Sure if XBMC sees your * key as that, then that sounds correct.

Thnx,first i will test the title button.

Is it correct that i must hold the button for a couple of seconds to enter the context menu?

No. Just a normal press, unless your remote is quirky with its button presses.

I've tested it. But it's still not working.

Now i've downloaded and intalled mce remote addon. When i go to configure i see there settings like CTRL+SHIFT=..... etc.

Now i think my remote uses the keyboard.xml file is this correct?
