XBMC only receiving key presses when HDMI/Video is active
#1
So this is kind of a strange problem.

I have an Ambi-Light system that I would like to turn on and off via my XBMC keyboard - Im lucky enough that it is a system that works on different TV inputs - so the input is not always set to XBMC

The light is controlled RunScript(Python.py) in XBMC and is assigned via a custom keymap to the L key

This works perfectly when the screen is set to the XBMC source - but doesnt when the source is set to something else

Looking at the XBMC debug log, no keypress is received - but when switching back to the XBMC source its like it has queued up the key presses

Does anyone have any ideas why this might happen?

How is your keyboard connected to your computer?
