CEC: change behaviour of button

bartplessers · December 15, 2022 at 9:13 PM

Hi everyone,

I bought a "simple" remote for my Samsung TV.
Attached you can see:

- left remote: original

- right remote: the substitute

Now I'm missing the "exit" button ob my new remote.

The "return" button matches on both remote, but this button is not really needed.

So I want to use the "return" button on my new device and assign the "exit" function to it.

Is this possible?

How?

any help is appreciated,

Kind regards,

Bart Plessers

Yes, you can do this by creating a key map.

Hi Da Flex,

Thanx for this info!
My code I had to use is

Code

<keymap>
    <global>
        <remote>
            <back>PreviousMenu</back>  <!-- EXIT button on Samsung remote -->
            <title>Back</title> <!-- RETURN button on Samsung remote -->
        </remote>
    </global>

  <MusicInformation>
    <remote>
            <title>Back</title> <!-- RETURN button on Samsung remote -->
    </remote>
  </MusicInformation>

  <Visualisation>
    <remote>
            <title>Back</title> <!-- RETURN button on Samsung remote -->
    </remote>
  </Visualisation>


  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
            <back>ActivateWindow(SystemInfo)</back>  <!-- testing.... EXIT button on Samsung remote -->
            <title>Back</title> <!-- RETURN button on Samsung remote -->
    </remote>
  </FullscreenVideo>
