Hi,

I'm trying to get extra functions out of my Logitech Harmony 525 by adding a keyboard XML to Kodi 16 Alpha 4. I have added the file in this directory:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\keymaps

The file consists of the following for test:

<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<9 mod="ctrl">ActivateWindow(home)</9>
<1 mod="ctrl">ActivateWindow(pictures)</1>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>

For now I am trying to get the keymapping working directly on my keyboard. When it Works there I will implement it on the Harmony.

But it is NOT working on the keyboard. When I enable logging it just tells me that the keys have been pressed but with no action:

It seems that Kodi is not reading the keyboard.xml - should it somehow be activated?

Hope someone can help

Did you restart Kodi once you'd put the file in the keymaps folder?

[dazzledk]

Yes I did. I edited the .XML without having Kodi open.

I also tried the Kodi Keyboard Editor, which creates the .XML alright, but it still not Works.

I have tried it on 2 different machines with both 15.2 and 16 Alpha 4.

I have debugged a bit further and discovered this in the log:

16:42:08 T:7772 ERROR: Error loading keymap: special://masterprofile/keymaps/keyboard.xml, Line 4
Error reading end tag.
16:42:08 T:7772 ERROR: Error loading keymap: special://profile/keymaps/keyboard.xml, Line 4
Error reading end tag.

I don't understand that. As far as I can tell the end tag is as it should be: </9>

[spoyser]

Ah, I think you need the word not the number, ie

<one>
<nine>

Ahhh - Of course. I will try that tonight.

Thank you.

[dazzledk]

I can confirm it is working. Thank you very much.

[spoyser]

I can confirm it is working. Thank you very much.

Nice one, glad you got it sorted out.
