Alternative keymaps for most remotes, as suggested by the community. This includes MCE/RC6 type remote controls.
Keymap 1 - SmallStepBack
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as remote.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <keymap> <FullscreenVideo> <remote> <back>SmallStepBack</back> </remote> <keyboard> <back>SmallStepBack</back> <backspace>SmallStepBack</backspace> <escape>SmallStepBack</escape> </keyboard> </FullscreenVideo> </keymap>
- What it does
- Back durning full screen playback is changed to SmallStepBack (-7 seconds)
Keymap 2 - stop a video when backing out of it
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as remote.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <keymap> <FullscreenVideo> <remote> <back>stop</back> </remote> <keyboard> <back>stop</back> <backspace>stop</backspace> <escape>stop</escape> </keyboard> </FullscreenVideo> </keymap>
- What it does
- Back durning full screen playback will stop the video and return you to the file/library lists.
Keymap 3 - move cursor on keyboard instead of buttons
- Cut and paste the following into a new text document and save as remote.xml and place in
userdata/keymaps/
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <keymap> <virtualkeyboard> <keyboard> <left>CursorLeft</left> <right>CursorRight</right> </keyboard> </virtualkeyboard> </keymap>
- What it does
- Left/right arrow keys will move the cursor when entering text with the on-screen-keyboard, rather than select different keyboard buttons. This restores the behavior previously seen when "Remote sends keyboard presses" was turned off.
