I now have this working 99% just 2 keys I am struggling with. Menus when playing movies, the keyboard press is "M" but I can not see which event in Evenghost this is so as to map it... second is the escape key... I can not find a way to exit the "info" panel in movie library.... pressing escape does this for the keyboard but again I can't see which to map it to....
other than that much better than IR suite which caused problems such as keyboard not functioning properly and MCE reciever errors.

I am using MCE remote... EG xml, where do I find that?
I did not do anything in XBMC just used the xbmc plugin in EG which had all the keys but I cant find one to exit info or one to bring up menus whilst playing movies.

Hi guys, this looks like a great thing but I rely heavily on keymap.xml allowing for button actions to change depending on the current screen in the UI.
Is this possible with the XBMC plugin for eventghost?

I am liking using the eventghost, kind of reminds me of Girder in ways (used to use that since it's 1st beta, back when it WAS free.), and works fine other then it doesn't get recognized by XBMC as a device, so it doesn't make any noises when you push a button. And i couldn't seem to find any search results in case it can and i just missed it. This was when you are using the remote, you would be able to hear the navigation sounds just like you were using the joystick or MS normally. It works this way fine using the other PS3 BT program, only because it's simulating the keyboard of course, and not using events directly.
Edit- Just thought about it actually, i guess instead of using the posted XBMC events plugin module stuff, i could use the virtual keyboard method and map all those instead, which would give me back my navigational sounds again. I figure there's more events already setup, without having mess with the keymap file by using the events method though. Hmmm....

Note that the 'up', 'down', 'left' and 'right' actions not working when the OSD is up (fullscreen video, visualization, etc) is a bug and not expected behavior. During my testing I noticed that when the OSD is up and I send 4-5 'left' actions from an event client, the action is finally triggered on the 4th or 5th action, after which all directions seemed to work.

Folks, I got EventGhost set up and working with XBMC this weekend, and it's proven to be the last piece I needed to switch to using XBMC completely over MCE!
Thanks for all your hard work!
