Secondly, there will be some keys that do not produce the "This function is not available now" message but nevertheless do not do anything in Xbian because they are not passed through the HDMI CEC wire. These include, for example, the red/green/yellow/blue buttons.

pd, why do you say the colored buttons are not passed?
i have a Samsung TV and have these same buttons, Sony TV remote too so I think they are standard these days and they are passed through HDMI CEC wire.

Mine works, and here is the part from xbian remote.xml for them:

Code:

<red>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyPVR)</red>
      <green>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideos)</green>
      <yellow>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</yellow>
      <blue>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyPictures)</blue>

I am also trying to remap some of the remote buttons to do other stuff for example I don't care about Music and Pictures, so will try to map Yellow and Blue to work as "Show info" and "Cancel" or other useful commands.

If you guys find links for such mapping and naming kindly share it here

The coloured buttons are not passed through with LG devices. When it comes to CEC support, there is no 'standard'. Every manufacturer supports CEC to varying levels.

If you have an LG example where the coloured buttons are passed through, I'd be happy to hear about it.
