Hi all,

I'm trying to get rid of volume control in XBMC (since I managed to adjust via lirc the system volume itself)


As of now,
- I tried to get Keymap.xml on my /home/.../.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/ and comment any VolumeUp/Down/Mute entry for both remote and keyboard.
Tried also to leave them uncommented and empty (<volumeplus></volumeplus>)
No joy.

- I copied keyboard.xml from the /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/ and comment any VolumeUp/Down/Mute entry for both remote and keyboard.
Tried also to leave them uncommented and empty (<volumeplus></volumeplus>)
No joy.


So I'm here asking for help.

What should I do in order to make XBMC completely ignore any volumeUp/down/mute keypress on both keyboard and remote ?


Thanks

copy remote.xml and keyboard.xml from /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/ to ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/ and remove/comment out appropriate lines

Thanks for your answers...


@ spiff
Yes, that's where I place my files


@ toiva
Done. Still no joy.


I tried to:
- comment appropriate lines (everything related to volume up/down/mute)
- empty appropriate lines (to be look like <volumeplus></volumeplus>)


Looks like those files are being plain ignored...
'cause firing up XBMC, pressing volumeUp/down/mute in fact adjust volume.
I must stop this !

I've some news


1 - modifying keyboard.xml and remote.xml in /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/
WORKS as intended.
So basically it seems a matter of XBMC ignoring any modified file in user home.


2 - all of this have been totally useless ^_^ cause I found that XBMC, while executing, takes over Pulse. Any volume adjustment is only related to XBMC.
Even

echo KeyStrPress XF86AudioRaiseVolume KeyStrRelease XF86AudioRaiseVolume | xmacroplay $DISPLAY

(which I call via irexec to adjust the global PulseAudio volume system-wide) don't work while XBMC is on.


Damn, a whole morning spent cause of the bloody (1).....

Thank you all trying to help !
