Thunderbirds are go! :-)

The APPCOMMAND 1 that the log reports is APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_BACKWARD and the Win32 SDK describes this as "BROWSER_BACKWARD: Navigate backward.". So it appears that your remote is sending a keystroke, and that keystroke is getting mapped to a standard Windows MCE command, but it's not a keystroke that XBMC recognises. XBMC doesn't do anything with the APPCOMMAND messages, so the fact the remote is generating an APPCOMMAND isn't helpful.

Have a look on http://www.ratsauce.plus.com/xbmc.htm at the "MCE Stuff" link where there are various readmes and utilities to help remote configuration. If the ATI remote uses the standard Windows drivers you can map the Back key to a "Backspace" keystroke.

Actually, that's incorrect. We do process APPCOMMAND messages, just not that one.

I'll make that action do a "parent dir" action, which is the same as backspace on the keyboard. That seems to be the closest match to the desired behaviour.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Oops, yes, sorry :-(

During the writing of my Zen article I discovered that several of the clone remotes I've tested generate APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_DOWN and APPCOMMAND_VOLUME_UP messages. Would it be possible to process these as well?

Thanks,

JR

Sure - make a list of ones you think we should process and pop it on trac Smile
