I have remapped all my keys as desired for my remote (mceusb) except I cannot get the contextmenu to work.

I have tried remapping it to several numbers but have had no results.

Based on
http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/x...iew=markup
and the Lircmap.xml in my home directory, I think the entry should work like this:

<contextmenu>Star</contextmenu>

I have tried other buttons besides star with no success as well.

Am I missing something obvious here?

And I and using the names of the keys based on my lircd.conf

I have set the library to update on startup so that takes care of my initial need for a contextmenu.

The rest, I will pull out my trusty mouse and keyboard

[hitman]

Try:
<title>Star</title>

This works for me, although I use the DVD menu button instead.

Now I'm confused... so hitman, you do
<title>DVD</title> and that works for you?

so, no need for contextmenu?

i would assume, from looking at things, it would be like JackieBrown had it above
<contextmenu>DVD</contextmenu> (or at least that what I tried first.)

In which file? That's the wrong way round for the Keymap.xml file and the wrong coding for the Lircmap.xml.

Keymap requires <remotekey>XBMC action</remotekey>, so <title>ContextMenu</title>. The only caveat is that <remotekey> must map to one of those listed here, you cannot invent your own.

In Lircmap you would then have <remotekey>MCEEquivalent</remotekey>, so in your case <title>DVD</title>. It's worth noting that in the vanilla install of XBMC, <title> is mapped to 'Play' so that should bring up the context menu without you having to tweak anything.

Yes this works for me, although subsequently I found that "Play" also provides the context menu as airyphary also pointed out. This works out much better for me.
