[QUOTE="macmr, post: 1265662, member: 115062"] Hi thanks for the info about the remotes but I really don't think that the problem is with the remote. I think it is more to do with the HID handler. The reason I say that is because the problem can be simulated by the keyboard with no remote use whatsoever. Maybe this is in the wrong forum? Some more info: My remote uses standard key codes like "esc" etc as verified by a program to show what keycodes are being sent. Also in device manager the remote shows up as a HID Keyboard Device so I'm certain that to MP it is just another keyboard but using a remote to generate the keycodes. But let's forget I have a remote and concentrate on the behaviour from direct control via a keyboard. Maybe Cybersimian as you are from the Test Group you could carry out the following: My testing today went like this for MP 1.23 and using PureVisionHD as the skin: 1. In the HID tab select "full" profile - Enable HID - Use HID keyboard. So we are using the standard mapping as comes with MP 1.23 2. Plug in a keyboard 3. Run MP 4. Start watching fullscreen tv and press the "r" key which should bring up the dialog regarding the type of recording you want to do 5. Hit the "esc" key and it should remove that recording window 6. While watching fullscreen tv hit "esc" and it should go back to a previous menu of some description 6. So far all good and working correctly as you would expect Now for the file mod 1. Go into keymap.xml (the original one that still sits in the ProgramData/TeamMediaPortal/MediaPortal) with an xml editor (you can't do it from inside MP config) 2. Remove the "esc" key action 3. Run MP 4. Start watching fullscreen tv and press the "r" key which should bring up the dialog regarding the type of recording you want to do 5. Hit the "esc" key. On my system this did not remove the recording window like it did prior to the keymap.xml file edit 6. While watching fullscreen tv hit "esc" and it should go back to a previous menu of some description Hopefully the above steps did what mine does. So no remote use only the keyboard so that rules out any remote issues. My questions: 1. After editing the keymap.xml file and removing the "esc" action how can you back out of tv fullscreen if the "esc" key is not there anymore? I believe it is still using the HID "full" map option to accomplish this function. BUT 2. Without the "esc" action in keymap.xml the dialog regarding the type of recording info cannot be removed from the screen? This was also the case in the Mini EPG. So some of the functions in MP are being controlled by HID "full" map and some by keymap.xml. Why? I thought that having the HID option to select and being able to remap as needed was nullifying the keymap.xml file. Especially after the old keys section says to use the new HID section? [/QUOTE]
