Play Pause Question

gregeeh · October 25, 2018 at 3:25 AM

Hi all,

Just installed TvH (Version 4.2.5) on my TX92 LE Box (version 8.2.3.1) and I have a question regarding pause and play buttons.

The TX92 IR remote has no pause or play buttons which is a bit annoying. I have now added the TX92/Vorke Z6 to my Harmony Remote thinking I could use the Harmony Play/Pause buttons, however it appears I need a remote with Play/Pause to teach the Harmony. And, as the TX92 does not have these buttons that option is out.

Is there another way to do this?

TIA

Greg

The default Kodi keymap uses the enter key in keymaps.xml so that you press enter while highlighting a movie to play, and during a movie if you press enter the OSD comes up with play/pause pre-selected so pressing enter pauses, pressing enter again unpauses.

I'd set the harmony to be a normal MCE remote and it should "just work" with a standard-ish LE image using meson-ir that understands MCE command, or worst case you can create a custom keymap on the LE side that understands all the harmony keypresses. You won't be able to teach the harmony play/pause without something that sends play/pause.

Sorry to be a PITA, but can you expand on this. Do you add another device to the Harmony and if so what one?

Microsoft "Media Centre Edition" was a short lived version of some older Win release. Lots of manufacturers shipped "MCE" compatible remotes with their boxes and Harmony can replicate the standard remote. I can't give more specific instructions about configuring Harmony devices as I have never owned one (nor do I plan to get one).
