Info (and Blue) button on Sony Bravia Android TV Remote?

Also seems to be a few weird things going on with that remote / wanna-be joystick SONY TV RC MIC 001 / SONY TV RC MIC 001 (XXXX:YYYY), some other threads on it:

isn't watching a Full Screen Video what I am doing when I play a Recording in XNEWA? Is there a way to make it specific to playback in XNEWA?

No Full Screen Video is the name given to the screen when Kodi UI is playing with a full screen. If you aren't using those keys in Kodi anyway global is by far the easiest. One way I did find through experimentation and it is an undocumented hack so no guarantees but you could try groups like
<window13000> or maybe <window13001>

I do see this in your logs

2019-02-18 07:29:36.173 T:6425 DEBUG: Activating window ID: 13000

I don't expect these would be specific to x-newa probably all Kodi plugins would see them.

I didn't read those links, I don't have the time in my life for that.

Cheers Martin will give it a whirl tomorrow and let you know.
Don't worry about the links, nothing expected there; it's more to preserve the little research I have done anyway, for others.

From memory if you use the window one it can stop working with Kodi updates or when you change things within kodi. (this is from memory so don't shoot me if I'm talking crap) just remember some reason it wasn't ideal in the end

Hi Martin

As I am sure that you suspected....it works!
Went for overkill and windowed 13000 to 13003, as I read (below) that some addons like Mythbox (which I have never used) get assigned window ID 13000 to 13007. All good !

my keyboard.xml which is in /org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/ (the only file as it turns out).

Code:

<keymap>
  <window13000>
    <keyboard>
        <red>Red</red>
        <green>Green</green>
        <yellow>Yellow</yellow>
        <blue>Blue</blue>
    </keyboard>
  </window13000>
  <window13001>
    <keyboard>
        <red>Red</red>
        <green>Green</green>
        <yellow>Yellow</yellow>
        <blue>Blue</blue>
    </keyboard>
  </window13001>
  <window13002>
    <keyboard>
        <red>Red</red>
        <green>Green</green>
        <yellow>Yellow</yellow>
        <blue>Blue</blue>
    </keyboard>
  </window13002>
  <window13003>
    <keyboard>
        <red>Red</red>
        <green>Green</green>
        <yellow>Yellow</yellow>
        <blue>Blue</blue>
    </keyboard>
  </window13003>
</keymap>

Hi Martin,

When I was testing the Sony XNEWA implemetation (other thread), I transferred the repaired advancedsettings.xml to my RPi2 rig as well.
I also copied across the keyboard.xml (as above) and made a remote.xml to the Pi's keymaps folder with the same settings as above, but the PI doesn't seem to come up with a Windows ID. The CEC Remote thing shwos up.

I am struggling to identify a similar keymap (Windows ID) that you found for the TV? The blue button just brings up the Pictures Window (I think this is from the KODI default <blue>ActivateWindow(Pictures)</blue>). I pressed and backed out of the bue button a few times in succession, do you see anything which is like Windows 13000 (I saw a Windows 13001 in the log but just one so that was probabaly something else). Or is the CEC remote on a Pi as a client a whole different animal?

Keyboard.xml files are not necessarily transferable and CEC remotes are not traditional remotes. You missed sending the log.

OK you can probably review your own logs to see what keys are available and configured for your remote, they all have these

14:22:06.033 T:1635718000 DEBUG: PushCecKeypress - added key d8

The log you posted had very basic navigation keys mapped.
