Solved key/remote trouble with xbmc-xvba and video osd
#1
I'm slowly going mad trying to find a solution to this problem, short version: I can't move through the video osd with my keyboard/remote since xbmc-xvba went to version 13.

Long version:

If I use xbmc-xvba-frodo from launchpad and press Info (or I on the keyboard) I get the video osd with some buttons I am able to press and move through. Example:

Now when I update to xbmc-xvba or xbmc-xvba-testing I lose this functionality, it looks like something changed in the way the video osd is handled with these versions since xbmc treats the osd like fullscreen video now, means if I press left/right I make a small step forward/backward in the video instead of going left/right to another button in the osd. If go and edit the remote.xml file in keymaps and change the <left> and <right> options in the <FullscreenVideo> part to use left - right instead of StepForward - StepBack I can move around the video osd again but obviously I lose the option to move in small steps through videos. The remote.xml works perfectly fine on xbmc-xvba-frodo and any nightlies from team xbmc it looks like it's broken just in xbmc-xvba after xbmc version 13.

I already tried just adding the left/right buttons to <VideoOSD> in remote.xml but that doesn't seem to make a difference

XBMC: https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba
remote.xml: http://pastebin.com/ALN7n5Xv

I really don't know what could break this but there must be something that is different in the xbmc-nightlies (which work) and xbmc-xvba (not working), anybody has similar problems or knows a solution?

Is there a log needed for this? I don't know if it will show anything of importance?

Still having this with any xbmc 13 version on wsnipex xbmc-xvba (xvba frodo 12.1 working fine), as soon as I switch to an official xbmc 13 nightly it is working again.

I can't find out what's the difference between the 2 and I would really like to keep the improved vdpau support in the xvba version, nobody got any pointers for me?

edit: So I got desperate now, I added

Code:
<left>Left</left>
      <right>Right</right>
      <up>Up</up>
      <down>Down</down>
      <select>Select</select>

in every keymap option I could find and voila I can suddenly move again in the OSD, so something is different in the way keymaps are handled, I still don't know what exactly but I don't care, it works now.
