Pressing key twice to increase volume down one step?

[Biff]

I have toggled a remote control key with the XBMC volume up and one with volume down. I have to press each key twice to increase or decrease the volume by one step. How could I make it to press each key just once for one step down / up?

Check the events you get when you press the volume up (or other key) several times and you are probably getting two (or more) different codes. If you do just put both events in the macro. Read here why the same button would generate different events.

Many thanks, jonib,

For the link, also; I do not quite understand, what that all means. What have I to do now?

That is how it looks like, when I press these two buttons:



Many thanks again.

By the way, is there still any other EG forum?

As you are getting two different codes from your remote you need to drag both events from the log to the appropriate macro, so it will react to both. Sorry I can't think of better instructions.

By the way, is there still any other EG forum?

I don't know any other, this is the "Official" one.

OK, thank you very much,jonib,

Is there a way to detoggle the volume keys (up, down) from the Windows (standard) volume? I do not want to use the system volume to always keep the system volume stay the same, unchanged, but I would like to control the volume of XBMC with these keys. And the same with the green button on the remote control, can I detoggle it form the Windows Media Center and toggle it with XBMC, so I could start it using this key?

Thanks again.

Should be possible, it depends on your remote receiver. Best is to look/post in the support thread for that receiver/remote. I only know that the my MCE receiver needs a service installed from the plugin settings.

OK, I will try to find such a forum, thanks.
