X-NEWA 2.5.0 Alpha 8

[BrettB]

I tested Crtl-K yesterday and it worked, the problem might be your mapping. Sub uses Ctrl-R and Ctrl-F for navigation in the guide, you have have ctrl-r mapped to Record.

Can you tell me where I've got Ctrl-R mapped to Record? Here's a kodi.log with debugging turn on that I just made. It shows me going to the "Heart of a Champion..." recording and pressing the Record button on the remote a few times. All that displays is a black flash on the TV. Then I turned on the keyboard and pressed Ctrl-K and that brought up the delete confirmation. But, as far as I can see, I don't have any special mapping done for the Record button, so it just goes to the Kodi action Record.

You don't that is a Kodi/LIRC default for ctrl-r you would have to change it in keyboard.xml to ctrl-k. The problem on the guide is that there is typically no ff/rw on a multimedia keyboard and ctrl l/r and skip/prev do the same thing so I don't get my favourite way for jumping.

Are you sure that lines 125-126 in emulate.py aren't what's converting the Action_Record to a Ctrl-R?

Code:

elif actionID == ACTION_RECORD or actionID == ACTION_QUEUE_ITEM:
            url = keyBase + str(82|0x20000)

Also, just to make sure we're on the same page... I'm talking about pressing the Record button on a recording in the Recent Recordings list not in the Guide.

It turning Record to ctrl-R like it should be but you want it to be ctrl-K

Just to be clear the problem isn't the record button, the problem is that in Kodi ctrl-R maps to the Record key.

Sorry. This seems to be the part that I'm not following.

My understanding is that the remote sends MCE Remote Button ID 0x17 (XINPUT_IR_REMOTE_RECORD). And then the remote.xml says that Remote Button Record (XINPUT_IR_REMOTE_RECORD) should trigger Kodi action Record. And then X-NEWA emulate.py (lines 125-126) is saying that when sent Action Record it should send NextPVR a Ctrl-R keypress.

Unfortunately ctrl-r is the king and it sends a Record action to x-newa. I want it to send ctrl-r to NextPVR, The Record button gets lost in the mix. I do not want ctrl-r to send a ctrl-k to NextPVR

OK I have edited emulate.py and moved the Record action checks after the control key checkiing hopefully that will work for you.

So, with X-NEWA 2.5.0~alpha4 (where it works), X-NEWA was sending a ctrl-K, but with 2.5.0~alpha5 (where it doesn't work), X-NEWA is sending a ctrl-R?
