Use XBMC official remote to run subtitle script.

I installed the xbmc subtitles add on and to search for subtitles I need to the OSD and select the ( I guess) subtitle button to launch the add on. And while it works I know that this process is way to confusing for my family.
I would like to assign this script to the subtitle button that's in the XBMC official remote app ( for now this simply toggles the subtitles). I'm not sure on how to achieve this or where to change the settings if it is at all possible.

Why not connect it to a button of your remote?

You can change your remotes by editing this file: Keymap.xml in the directory /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/
(some background in the XBMC wiki

As example with this code, the subtitle plugin opens when pressing the GREEN button on your remote. When you also add the option in the subtitle addon: auto download first sync subtitle. You don't see any selection popup and the subtitle will get automatically downloaded.

Terminal

<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
<red>nextsubtitle</red>
<green>RunScript(script.xbmc.subtitles)</green>
</remote>
</global>
</keymap>

And if you would like to use an app (Android) I suggest Yatse to do this instead of the official XBMC remote.
