Help with CEC TV remote controls
#1
Using CEC with LG TV works great. Does anyone know how I can get more actions to control other things like context menu, more etc. At the moment I just got basic movie controls.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to edit/create a keymap.xml file in userdata/keymaps. Here's a snippet from mine:

<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
<blue>FullScreen</blue>
<yellow>ToggleWatched</yellow>
<red>Info</red>
<green>ContextMenu</green>
<title>Back</title>
</remote>
</global>
<movieinformation>
<remote>
<info>Close</info>
</remote>
</movieinformation>
</keymap>

So anywhere in xbmc (<global>) the blue key will toggle FullScreen.
When movieinformation is open, pressing the info key will Close it.

There's lots of info on the wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=keymap
I'm sure if you search the forum you will get many results too.

Remember that not every button on your remote will be sent through CEC to xbmc, there is a setting that you can turn on (I can't remember where/what) that will show you what command XBMC has received (if any).

Good luck!

Thanks, how do I get in and change these values.
I am using Openelec and LG remote.
