yes, you can edit the same remote.xml file
to add the context menu you need to map command <OSD> to button of your choice
lets hope this helps you if no I can post more detailed HowTo

Hey Curly,

Wonder if you can help on this.

I've tried your remote config tutorial :

http://xbian.org/2012/12/configuring-a-remote/#

As I have a generic MCE remote from Ebay. Remote works great but I have a handful of buttons which don't work and would love to be able to get them mapped. I have some other keys mapped which I did form a previous windows based XBMC version, but would like to add some more is possible.

I followed your tutorial, but when I type


I get the following:


Any ideas?

Andrew

Can you post the output of 'dmesg', 'lsusb' and 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'.

Sure:

Thanks man!

Can you enable debug mode in XBMC and post some debug log when pressing some buttons.

The problem to these remotes it that they don't present themselves as a remote, but as a keyboard. So they need a different approach.

Where do I find the log? I can do it from that myself, I just wasn't aware it was possible via Xbian.

/home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

I already created and included map for this remote, so i'm curious what buttons weren't working.

I've already custom mapped the volume buttons as volume down didn't work and I use the bottom right button now for the context menu. I'd like to be able to map the coloured shortcut buttons if possible. It wasn't in a windows based system because they sent windows recognised commands that XBMC couldn't recognise.

Do you already have the xbmc log for me?

Afraid it will be tomorrow now. All tucked up :/

Early start for work

Hey Curly,

Sorry for the delay. First chance I've had to get back to the Pi with a laptop.

Here's a dump of the XBMC Log. I've pressed the four coloured buttons 4 times each then grabbed the log:


See what you think. With my experience of XBMC debugging, this lot means absolutely nothing to me XD

Can you first disable CEC and put these messages on pastebin.

Then repost a debug log when pressing keys...

Here we go sir:

Can you now post the output of this command:
After you pressed all keys with debug on.
