Here is the situation, I want to call System.Exec from the ~/Libary/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml to execute a shell script. It does not look like it the shell script is getting executed from keymap.xml.

I can execute the shell script from the terminal and it works fine. I also setup the XBMC program Lanucher add-on to execute the shell script, no problem executing the shell script.

I know when the shell script gets executed as I placed the following at the top of the shell script:

Code:

echo Enter >>~/Desktop/a.txt

When I execute the shell script from the terminal or XBMC program Launcher add-on the a.txt file is written to. But when I attempt to execute the shell script from the keymap.xml a.txt is not written to.

I am doing something incorrectly but I can't seem to see it.

I read instances, on this forum, where users have successfully gotten this to work. I was hoping that someone could shed some light on why this might not be working for me. I have enabled the debug log (level 3) but I did not see anything in the log that would indicate why the System.Exec was failing.

I tried something else, I went ahead an tried the System.Exec directly in /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml.

I changed this:

Code:

<FullscreenVideo>
    <joystick name="AppleRemote">
      <button id="1">VolumeUp</button>
      <button id="2">VolumeDown</button>
      <button id="3">StepBack</button>
      <button id="4">StepForward</button>
      <button id="5">Pause</button>
      <button id="6">Stop</button>
      <button id="7">OSD</button>
      <button id="8">Fullscreen</button>
      <button id="9">Rewind</button>
      <button id="10">FastForward</button>
    </joystick>
  </FullscreenVideo>

To this:

Code:

<FullscreenVideo>
    <joystick name="AppleRemote">
      <button id="1">System.Exec("/Users/mwinestock/Library/Application Support/XBMC/scripts/change_volume.sh" "1")</button>
      <button id="2">VolumeDown</button>
      <button id="3">StepBack</button>
      <button id="4">StepForward</button>
      <button id="5">Pause</button>
      <button id="6">Stop</button>
      <button id="7">OSD</button>
      <button id="8">Fullscreen</button>
      <button id="9">Rewind</button>
      <button id="10">FastForward</button>
    </joystick>
  </FullscreenVideo>

Still could not get the System.Exec to execute my command. Is this a possible bug in XBMC? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe a XBMC developer could chime in here.

This is the XBMC.log. If someone could look it over and let me know if there is anything that stands out I would appreciate it.

It appears that the problem was that userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml has been depreciated. By changing the filename from keymap.xml to keyboard.xml in userdata/keymaps I am now able to execute the System.Exec built-in call.
