Problem summary: Since RC3, the buttons <context menu> and <guide> on an MCE remote no longer worked.

you can (as already recommended by others) use KeyMap addon to correct that but if it is bug / misconfig of some kind I would prefer you do the harder way - find and fix the problem.

The KeyMap addon could not access the missing buttons either. Editing a key just timed out without recognizing the button press.

This patch fixed it for me:

Code:

*** /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml~   2014-09-24 11:48:43.000000000 +0000
--- /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml    2014-10-08 17:20:38.109533187 +0000

+               <title>KEY_CONTEXT_MENU</title>
+               <recordedtv>KEY_PVR</recordedtv>
        </remote>
        
        <remote device="XboxDVDDongle">

The patch also enables a PVR button, which had to be provided via this patch (replacing a <list> button mapped to KEY_RECORD, although a separeate <record> button mapping exists):

Code:

Though I am not aware which change between RC2 and RC3 triggered the problem, I hope this helps. If you still think I should open an xbian issue, please let me know.
