Can't get Context Menu to show

BladeRnR · 2009-02-28 01:38

Hello,

I installed XBMC on Apple TV yesterday. Everything works as far as playing content goes and I have setup an SMB share for "Movies" & "TV Shows". No problem thus far with any of that and it's really elegant.

However I have one annoying issue and that is I simply cannot get the "Context" menu to show. I want to "Set Content" but in order to do that you need the Context Menu (Library Scan etc).

I've read the XBMC Online manual from top to bottom and it suggest the button on the Apple remote to make the Context Menu appear is "Menu" held down. I've tried this at the root menu (Using Project Mayhem III skin) and also inside the "Videos" section where "Add source etc shows). The context menu refuses to pop up.

What am I doing wrong? Also, how do you get the Virtual Keyboard to show using the Apple Remote?

Many thanks

Blade

What XBMC version are you using and what does your keymap.xml (found in the system folder of the XBMC installation) say about your keymapping?

This is the latest keymap.xml

Hi Sho,

I've resolved the issue. 2 things I noted after reading various threads here:

1. In XBMC settings I had "Universal Remote" = Yes. Switched to No.
2. I looked everywhere under the XBMC Hierarchy and could not find keymap.xml anywhere. I ended up copying it from the uncompressed XBMC Install files on the Mac to the 'username' folder.

After performing those 2 things Context now works as described in the XBMC online Manual. I'm leaning toward Fix #2 as being the culprit. Not sure why keymap.xml wouldn't be there after a standard install? I did install using a WD 250Gig but did not note any errors.

Strange but everything is working now. Thanks for the reply Sho.

Regards

Blade

XBMC\system\keymap.xml
Default keymap location.
If you want to do some changes, do copy your keymap to your userdata folder and do the changes in this one. So they won't be lost with a build update.

With respect I looked in XBMC\system\ and it was empty (I certainly would expect it to be there) unless the files are hidden.
