Juggler Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 I've just "installed" my FLIRC on my Raspbmc set-up. After setting it up to work with my Harmony Hub, all is good! There is only one thing I cannot figure out... not sure if it is a FLIRC or XBMC question. In XBMC, I've installed the XSqueeze add-on to use my Raspbmc connected to my receiver as a Squeezebox player; works great. I cannot, however, figure out how to use the Activities set-up in MyHarmony to launch XSqueeze when I press the "Music" button on my Harmony remote. Is there a way to map an XBMC Add-on or Favourite to a remote (IR) command? Quote
jason Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Basically, flirc is sending keyboard keys to the machine. If you can tie the launch of the application to a keyboard key/keys somehow, then you can just program those same keys in flirc manually with the music button. Does that make sense? Quote
Juggler Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 I think I understood that... I guess my question is more XBMC related: is there a way to create a "shortcut" to launch an add-on? I'm looking to be able to launch an add-on (XSqueeze) with a single key press. Quote
BrickTop Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Does http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=84856 help at all? Its an old thread but seems to cover what you are after. Quote
Juggler Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Posted September 2, 2014 I think that's what I was looking for... thanks. I've got 1 other question, but I'll start another thread for it. cheers, J. Quote
