Support for XBMC2 plugin (formerly XBMCRepeat)

[kricker]

Interesting I have never noticed this, what version(s) had this problem

It started happening in SVN sometime after Camelot I believe. It got fixed a few weeks ago. I was having my HTPC going to sleep as I was navigating menus 5 minutes after watching a video.

Cool I missed it , it would have driven me crazy.

Hi, nice work with the plugin.

Now, why does XBMCrepeater select change the aspect ratio of videos? I mapped it to my select button on your plugin and now when playing videos it changes aspect ratio. Is that coded on keymap.xml?

Yup, any buttons you use from the XBMCRepeat\Buttons folder are defined in the keymap.xml files.

Read this Assigning Events to Macros

so i need to make a macro?
EDIT:
wait nvm i need to make events ok i thought that was already done i just want this to be just like it was on the xbox

All those orange cogs are macros, so you just need to drag n drop a remote event from the log to the macro you want it to use.

Please read tho whole Short manual I linked to here

Different remotes create different events so it's not possible to have it work without assigning the events first.

If you assign them as such. You HAVE to assign the remote events (button presses) to actions (macros).

yea i have but i want the 369 to be the numbers outside of the video like in typing but vol at any other time

Doesn't look like it, the remote buttons are defined in (XBMC dir)\system\keymaps\remote.xml.

I'll make a remote.xml with volume on 3,6,9. As soon as I have finished my chicken.

That is kind of you.

jesterod, keymaps in XBMC are the the way to have the same button do different action based on the XBMC screen you are in. You should be able to find more information about them in the XBMC wiki. You can create custom ones and place them in your userdata\keymaps folder. The location of your userdata folder depends if you are running in portable (-p switch) mode or not. If you edit the keymap in (XBMC dir)\system\keymaps\remote.xml chances are it will get replaced when updating XBMC.

yea im running in portable mode kk ill look in to it
