Movie Menu in Poster Wrap View - 'Enter' Key Goes to Info not Playback
#1
Hello,

I'm going to be using XBMC on two monitors in my Range Rover. I am in the process of tweaking XBMC to be exactly the way I want it before pulling the trigger on everything.

Since these are going to be 7 or 9" screens I want to use the 'Poster Wrap' view because it is easy to both see the posters and the movie name below the poster. I would much prefer that if you select this movie by hitting enter or okay on the remote that it would open the info page rather than start playback. I'm sure this is possible with how flexible the XBMC platform is, but I just don't know how to do it. I dug through all the settings but I coudn't find anything there...

Is this possible? If so, can someone walk me through how to set this up?

Thank You!


-Mike

If I remember correctly this was discussed in a previous topic and the conclusion was that this behavior is hardcoded and can't be changed without rewriting a albeit small portion of the XBMC code. It was suggested this be changed so skins would decide the action, but I don't thing anything ever came of it.

No, its not hard coded. You can change that via the keymap.xml bindings. The action you want is Info. You could do this:

Code:
<MyVideoLibrary>
<remote>
   <enter>Info</enter>
</remote>
<MyVideoLibrary>

All the actions are here

And here's a little keymapping tutorial

Depending on your remote, it may be the 'select' button.
