WMC and XBMC reusing remote same keys

[razz]

Hi Guys, 

 

I'm currently using a generic TV remote (maybe upgrade to harmony in future), but I'm having difficulty setting it up with flirc+WMC+XBMC. Flirc assigns a functions per remote key, but I'd like to use the same key and its function under both XBMC and WMC. For example how would I map the same info remote key to provide video info in both XBMC and WMC?

 

Cheers, 

razz

You could change key mappings in XBMC to be compatible with WMC. You could also use apps like Event Ghost to capture keyboard events and then send proper key presses depending on which app is started and has focus.

You could change key mappings in XBMC to be compatible with WMC.

For Logitech Harmony, will a native profile for WMC be available as for XBMC?

 

I use WMX as PVR and XBMC for movies on the same PC. For me it's more interesting having a native WMC profile than for XBMC because, as you write, XBMC keymappings could be altered - but that's not the case with WMC.
