I'm trying to setup a Sony AV remote control to work with XBMC, and I used IR Server Suite before, but this time for some reason, I can't get the menu button on the remote to emulate a right click. I'm also having a problem sending the Q command to queue, as it instead scrolls me to the directory where the filenames begin with Q.
So I wanted to ditch IR server suite entirely and generate a keymap.xml based on my buttons. However since <displayremotecodes> only works on the Xbox, I followed these instructions.
Enabling debug logging, XBMC generates an xbmc.txt (not .log) in the same directory as the executable. Unfortunately there's nothing about key presses in it, as it appears to only log the startup of the application.
What I did notice, is that is doesn't even bother trying to load the keymap.xml that I have started in my /userdata/keymaps/ directory (I'm using a system install, not user install). So does this feature even exist anymore or am I chasing a ghost? I think I can use the IR codes as recorded by IR Server suite, but I'm really struggling... please don't tell me to just use an MCE remote, I have my entire entertainment center programmed through my one A/V remote.
EDIT:
1. I found that the global config or whatever doesn't matter that it is putting everything in my roaming appdata.
2. Debugger is giving me remoteevents not codes, they look like this: INFO : IRServerSuite, RemoteEvent: Microsoft MCE 650130
How can I remap that in my keymap.xml into an up arrow? <remote><650130>Up</650130></remote>
