Hi,

Trying to remap the long press of one of my samsung remote buttons. It shows up as clear in the logs I have below but when i try to set up the keymap.xml file it does not work. Anyone here know how to properly do this.

the first log is my htpcs keyboard to show the difference of how kodi handles CEC vs Keyboard. I also have my keymap.xml at the bottom

Code:

Long presses are done with a modifier, such as <return mod="longpress">ContextMenu</return>.

That said, that's from a keyboard map - if I remember correctly I don't think CEC (wiki) can do long presses.

See the wiki page on keymaps (wiki) (and especially the GitHub links from it in section 2.1 for the default maps as examples) for more details.

Yup why I attached the logs the long press shows up as clear button for the back button. Why I want to remap it to contextmenu. CEC does not support long press it just comes as a different key from what i read which in my case is clear. But yeah the remap is not taking effect.

Yes, as I said I don't think CEC supports the longpress function, so it can't be done.

You would have to map another key or use a different control.

[evilbulgarian]

So do you mean that remapping is not possible for cec long pressed buttons? Because i clearly see the button mapped in the logs as "clear" and not its normal "back" function and kodi also recognises that action.

That has always been my understanding yes. Long-press on CEC cannot be mapped in Kodi, only for Keyboard inputs.

The buttons themselves can be mapped, but only for normal pressing not long press.

Long press does not go with CEC unfortunately. Tried it, forgot about it and got a remote recognized as a keyboard.
