[QUOTE="iscrow, post: 52048, member: 19614"] [b]Mappings[/b] Glad you found the XML template useful. Yes I realized later that the custom dir does not show up until a mapping is edited in the config. Also, I intentionally killed the red X button as I don't like it closing Media Portal since I don't use any other apps. But, you can easily go in config and map it any way you like. Initially I did this for myself, and right after I got the button names right, I decided to post my work to everyone else's benefit. My intention was not to make full mappings for the firefly remote, it was simply to provide the proper names for the actual buttons in the config so anyone can config it to their needs. What I have posted is very far from a complete map. I just did a few buttons to provide basic functions. Just go in the config and map stuff any way you like. You can also refer to the defalut configs for other remotes and see how certain buttons are mapped to see exactly what actions and windows are called and in what context. There's a lot of actions and windows to choose from but I haven't found any sort of reference or description of each. Most of them are self explanatory but some can be misleading. [color=blue]mPod[/color], maybe you can answer that one, is there any sort of reference of what does what as far as actions and windows go in the X10 remotes config? I havent looked at the sources for MP so I don't know if there's any docs there. Here's some suggestions: The Music, Photos, TV, etc... keys. Those can be mapped to jump straight to those windows in Media Portal, rather than having to go through the main menu. Manu key can be made to jump to the main menu unless you're wathing a DVD. In that cas it can go to the root menu of the DVD. Looc at the config. You can set up different behaviors for the keys based on the current context. Can't think of a good use for the A-D keys, but they can be used for maybe switching to other windows like weather, games, whatever, or in DVD they can be used for switching sound options, subtitles, etc. [/QUOTE]
