Hi everyone,
I want to assign buttons on remote for:
- change view (in movies, tv series etc)
- download subtitles (addon http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=75437)

Many thanks for any response or tips.

What model of remote control and what operating system are you using?

I have remote from Asrock 330HT.
OS: Windows 7
I want to add also "search" button

The Asrock remote is compatible with the Microsoft remote so it can be configured with the MCERemote addon (in the Addons, Programs section). You can configure any button on the remote to send any keypress. So first get the functions you want working from the keyboard, then use the MCERemote addon to configure the remote to send those keys.

If you need help writing a custom keyboard.xml file shout!

SHOUT!!! ;-)

I have a noname remote - and i want to use some of the build in shortcuts in xbmc, eg. M for OSD, L for subtitle and so on...
(http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Global_Keyboard)

I simple can't figure how to use the mceremote add-on and deffently can't figure out how to make a custom keyboard.xlm file

Edit:
I tried to "install" the default" xlm file - and it activates the green, red, blue and yellow button on my remote (XBMC show a mesage, when pressed)
I have modified the file to test how it works
<!-- A button: ctrl-alt-1: this is a placeholder -->
<one mod="ctrl,alt">CleanLibrary(video)</one> << this one is working

<!-- B button: ctrl-alt-2: this is a placeholder -->
<two mod="ctrl,alt">playerControl(stop)</two> << this one is working

<!-- C button: ctrl-alt-3: this is a placeholder -->
<three mod="ctrl,alt">Action</three> How do i configure Action? Or what is the wright syntax for OSD?



So i will appriciate any help

There are various Wiki articles that describe all the actions available, but the easy way is to look at the file C:\Program Files\XBMC\system\keymaps\keyboard.xml using Notepad (don't modify the file!!) to see how it defines mappings. To take your example of the OSD search the file for "OSD" and you'll find:

<m>OSD</m>

(actually there are several mappings for OSD), so you want:

<three mod="ctrl,alt">OSD</three>

Hmmmm...

something is wrong then - i allready tried <three mod="ctrl,alt">OSD</three>
and it don't seems to work.

If you turn on debug logging the keypress will generate an SDLKeyboard entry in xbmc.log followed by a line indicating what action was taken on the keypress.
