I'm feeling like I'm at my end with this thing.
I'm stuck trying to understand if I should use <remote> or <keyboard> in my keymaps file (or should I use a remote file?!). I'm using a Harmony Remote programmed with an Windows Media Center SE keyset.

Gotham apparently took away the "Back" button is a small step back.

I'm stuck

I tried this:

Code:

<FullscreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
       <menu>SmallStepBack</menu>
    </keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>

Because when I hit the button, the log shows:

Code:

DEBUG: OnKey: menu (0xd8) pressed, action is Back

I tried using the Yellow button

Code:

<FullscreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
       <Yellow>SmallStepBack</Yellow>
    </keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>

Code:

DEBUG: OnKey: 253 (0xfd) pressed, action is XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic)

OK...WTF

I just mapped the stupid key to the period button and saw this:

Code:

OnKey: leftbracket (0x28) pressed, action is

I guess this whole system is changed

Use <remote>.

Firstly, yes you should be using <remote> instead of <keyboard>. But aside from that, I have just gone through a similar amount of head scratching trying to override the action of my "back" button... I have a feeling that the logs are reporting the wrong button name; the logs say "menu (0xd8) pressed", but I can alter the action using <back>Stop</back> in my remote.xml.

I got it working with:

Code:

<FullscreenVideo>
  <keyboard>
   <key id="216">smallstepback</key>
   </keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>

I think it used to be that MCE color buttons wouldn't work under windows (for mapping using the color name), somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Code:

<key id="216">smallstepback</key>

216 = 0xd8 which is what the log shows. So that makes sense. But according to XBIRRemote.h, 216 is XINPUT_IR_REMOTE_BACK. I would be willing to bet that:

Code:

<back>smallstepback</back>

would work too.

The problem here is that the log says "menu" when in actual fact the "back" key has been pressed.
