Long Press on TV Remote not bringing up RightClick?

    • New

    Hello ,


    i have sort of question / request (if not already implemented)


    when using LibreElec now it would function also with the normal TV Remote which is a very nice feature, thank you very much for that.


    Now there are some situation were i still would need the keyboard;


    there are some files, which i would play after bringing up "Play" Command via RightClick or longPress of Enter on Keyboard.

    this would be needed for .iso files or .dvdmedia.


    now , with the remote this seem not function;

    when i "longpress" Enter on REmote, it would just go through the file structure,


    maybe this is just a limitation of that specific remote, if not, please take it into account.

    There is an addon where you can define your TV remote buttons, forgot the name.

    I made the file gen.xml in the keymaps folder and used the red button for the context menu, yellow as home and blue for queue.

    <keymap><global>
    <keyboard>
    <key id="251">contextmenu</key>
    <key id="253">activatewindow(home)</key>
    <key id="254">activatewindow(videoplaylist)</key>
    /keyboard>
    </global></keymap>

    insulator thank you,

    my remote also has red, yellow, blue buttons, but those seem not active under libreelec , even after i install add-on (maybe this is the one you are referring to?)

    and putting the keymap you shared as gen.xml into

    /storage/.kodi/userdata/

    maybe for the remote another key-id is needed, but how could i read the proper id out, if the remote is just a tv remote with no usb dongle?

    the tv is a low-end sharp ().

    gen.xml must be copied to userdata/keymaps folder, but probably your remote control needs different codes?

    yes, it was this addon, but it is not easy to understand how it works, when I remember correctly.

    Try to find contextmenu in the addon somewhere, than you have to press the button on the remote and save the settings.
