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?

yes it is...

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....

The event ghost client and the XBMC event server itself are works in progress. There's a discussion going on at the official support thread for the event client as to how to work with contextual commands:

As soon as we can reach a consensus as to what makes the most sense I'll get it implemented in the event client.

This is an issue of how XBMC sees events coming from an event client. It's an implementation issue that's up the the devs if commands from event clients should make noise.

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!

do you know if there is anything in the trac for this?
