chris3000 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 I am looking to configure a key to the star logo (favorites) in XBMC, I am unable to find a keyboard shortcut for this. :( Please help Thank you! Quote
Chris! Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Hmm, i'm a bit rusty on XBMC these days (no media center at the moment) - i've not heard of "star logo". Is it the favourites window mentioned in the wiki keyboard article? http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keyboard_controls (The letter "D" or "U") Or is it mentioned elsewhere in that article? Quote
chris3000 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Posted May 26, 2014 Yes that favorites window! Those buttons do not bring up the menu. I've tried remapping on multiple keys too. Quote
Chris! Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 It looks like there isn't a default keyboard button for bringing up the favourites menu, only moving items in it. If you're comfortable changing the XML file for XBMC you can add the functionality. Here's the xml file that ships with xbmc: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml The letter "g" doesn't appear to be in use by XBMC when browsing so we can add it into the "global" part of the XML file So find: <keymap> <global> <keyboard> <p>Play</p> <q>Queue</q> <f>FastForward</f> Then add in the favourites functionality: <keymap> <global> <keyboard> <g>ActivateWindow(Favourites)</g> <p>Play</p> <q>Queue</q> <f>FastForward</f> Save it, restart XBMC, map a key to "g" on flirc and it should work Quote
chris3000 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Posted May 28, 2014 Thank you. I need to figure out how to ssh into /storage/.xbmc/userdata/keyboard.xml now I don;'t have access to a linus system. Any suggestions im a real noob at this lol Going way off topic from FLIRC too Quote
Chris! Posted May 28, 2014 Report Posted May 28, 2014 I'm a bit weak on SSH, i've always used the guides over on openelec forums or wiki. e.g. http://openelec.tv/forum/105-keyboards/39941-solved-update-keyboard-xml or http://openelec.tv/forum/12-guides-tips-and-tricks/887-guide-guide-for-ssh-within-openelec Quote
chris3000 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks for the help. [sOLVED]: I found the SuperFavorites addon, there is a hotkey option....... Bound it to F7 and FLIRC'd it to my remote!!!!! Quote
