My remote (ultraview = dvico fusion) only has 3 video-player like buttons,
( <, stop, > ) and as such buttons are a bit scarce. I can remap any button
to any key, but it is hard to do a consistent set. The arrow keys, that are
so useful elsewhere, are "wasted" in LiveTv/Video playback mode. This
leaves me with a couple of options:
1) mess up my numbers to get FF/rew/skip buttons etc. (current method)
2) have multiple mappings, ie put remote into "playback" mode, and toggle back to "epg/menu" mode by pressing my bluw button (will try this next)
3) write some code to detect GBPVR mode, and reassign keys dynamically (too hard, unless anyone has a good idea about detecting this ?)
4) GBPVR lets me re-assign key binding
5) GBPVR doubles up on keys, eg allowing Crtl-R OR left-arrow do rewind.
6) Some other method I don't know about.
5) Would satisfy me nicely, and shouldn't be too hard (?). May I suggest arrow keys for ff/rew/skip +60, skip -60, enter = toggle play ?
