Editing Kemapping Not Working

[amullins65]

I am trying to modify keymappings.xml but all of the old hot keys still do their assigned functions and the new keys I assigned don't work. I am trying to modify commands like play, pause, ff, rr

I am running XP and modifying C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR\KeyMappings.xml

I know there are other ways of working around other than changing keymappings, but I already have other programs on my htpc that are using certain hot keys and I want to keep them all the same.

I have tried restarting npvr, restarting the computer, etc. and all the old hot keys are still working

Here is what I have in KeyMapping.xml

<Mapping>
<Subsystem name="General">
<Key code="P" command="Play"/>
<Key code="Escape" command="Escape"/>
<Key code="PageUp" command="PageUp"/>

From memory, you've got to have CTRL or ALT on many of these keys, since simple letters by themselves like 'P' are already assigned to text entry.

I tried this recently myself, since I'm coming over from BeyondTV which does use single keystrokes for most playback control, and I'm just more used to it.

I don't know how your code is written, but it seems that if you are playing a video with no text entry going on, that you could capture a single keystroke. Not a huge deal though.
