Okay, you either love them or you hate them, but here is a plugin that will add navigation and selection sounds to GBPVR. I did this mainly as a proof of concept for a future plugin.

If you install this plugin you will gain the following:

Left, Right, Up, Down arrows will play a movement sound.
Return will play a selection sound
Home will play a Cancel sound.

Included with the package are three default sounds, plus some alternative sounds.

This will probably not work on the MVP as I just output the sounds to the default sound driver for the PC.

well i love it
could you expand it thou? add a sound for back, and a sound for every button and standard sound for undefined buttons ?(eg for "TV" "Guide" etc, "TV" can take some time to enter).

[KingArgyle]

I'll work on making it more configurable in the future. For now I just wanted to see if it could be done. Probably won't get to it until next weekend, mainly because I'm going out of town next week for business.

Tipstir, I've already got that implemented for the next version....Reven, are you talking about the F1, F2, F3, F4 function keys and how they map to TV Guide, TV, etc?

[reven]

yeah a sound for F1, F2 etc also for play/pause/stop the color buttons, every possible button. possible have a xml configuration file which you assign sounds to the buttons
<Key="{crtl}{f4}" sound="quit.wav"/>
or something. also a default sound so if you push a button not recognised it also does a sound (of course it should be possible to turn this off).

[KingArgyle]

Actually don't really even need a Configuratin file. The way I have it setup if the file it is expecting isn't there, it just doesn't play a file. I'll work on getting the most common keys added, and a list of what they map to. That way, if you want the same sound to go to the same key, all you have to do is copy the file over and rename it. I'll look into doing a configuration file later.

I'll shoot for another release this coming weekend, but it may slip with travel.

Proposed mapping for other buttons:

Left, Right, Up, Down:
GBPVR_MOVE_SND = move.wav

Return/Enter
GBPVR_SELECT_SND = select.wav

Home:
GBPVR_CANCEL_SND = cancel.wav

System Startup:
GBPVR_START_SND = startup.wav

Other Buttons and Functions:
GBPVR_PLAY_SND = play.wav
GBPVR_STOP_SND = stop.wav
GBPVR_FF_SND = fastforward.wav
GBPVR_RR_SND = rewind.wav
GBPVR_PAUSE_SND = pause.wav
GBPVR_BLUEB_SND = bluebutton.wav
GBPVR_YELLOWB_SND = yellowbutton.wav
GBPVR_GREENB_SND = greenbutton.wav
GBPVR_NONAME_SND = noname.wav
GBPVR_VOLUP_SND = volup.wav
GBPVR_VOLDOWN_SND = voldown.wav

(F1) GBPVR_TV_SND = tv.wav
(F2) GBPVR_LIVETV_SND = livetv.wav
(F3) GBPVR_VIDEOS_SND = videos.wav
(F4) GBPVR_MUSIC_SND = music.wav
(F5) GBPVR_RADIO_SND = radio.wav

I doubt that I change the filenames for these functions. These map to the most common keyboard commands found on the Wiki. I'm missing the keyboard command for the RED button (I think there is a red button). If you happen to know what it is, then please let me know and I'll include it in the next update. Also, a note for skin designers, you don't have to include all these in order for this plugin to work, if a file it is expecting is missing, it just ignores it and doesn't play a sound for that function. I wanted to get the above list out so that you can design appropriately.

Are you catching the keystrokes through the GBPVR API or directly from Windows?

[reven]

red is the same as rewind ie {ctrl}r
can you make one for "go" aswell, i use that button a lot in my plugins.
