Movie Wiz Buttons Reversed?

[LewE]

I've just started experimenting with Movie Wiz.

One thing I noticed is that in the screen where it shows the current filter there are Left and Right arrows to the right of the filter name (implying that to get the next filter I should use the Left/Right keys on my keyboard or remote). The program works the opposite and requirtes an Up/Down key to see the next filter and Left/Right to drop down to the list of programs.

The consistent use of the keys would be to use the Left/Right to cycle between the different filters and Up/Down to drop down to the list of programs found by that filter.

You can change the behavior in Devnz\GBPVR\KeyMappings\MovieWiz.xml

Thanks.

Not only did it do what I want but you introduced me to a whole new area of GBPVR to experiment with.

be careful in keymappings, as those get overwritten upon every upgrade...
[just back up the files to another name]

Thanks for the warning.

I already struggle with getting my skins back to where they were when some updates come out. This change will be easier to find though since there are so few items in the xml file.

For me, at least, the best "permanent" solution would be for the default mappings to be like I suggested, or am I missing a reason for why they are like they are?

I went back and forth on those settings, and after many posts, decided that up/dn on the categories would scroll thru options, and left-right would nav to prev-next controls.

As noted below, you can change the key-mappings to your preference, also, you may want to update the skin.xml to reflect the correct arrow directions, there are commented sections in the blue skin to show how to set them either way.

If by Prev-Next Controls you mean choosing between the various filters (e.g. All Movies, Comedy, Adventure, etc) that is how I thought it should work based on the left-right graphic arrows on the right of the filter title and if by "categories" you mean the list of programs in that filtered list, that is how I wanted the keys to work.

In any event, between the mappings file and the graphic arrows in the skin, I am sure I will get it to work to my own preferences. Thanks for pointing to changing the arrow in the skin.

I tried to change the keys directions too, but it's not working. Here's my XML file.

To use the up/dn arrow keys to nav the list, use these settings:

Code:

<command name="HLIST_UP" key="Up"/>
  <command name="HLIST_DOWN" key="Down"/>
  <command name="HLIST_LEFT" key="Left"/>
  <command name="HLIST_RIGHT" key="Right"/>

To use the right/left arrow keys to nav the list, use these settings:

Code:

<command name="HLIST_UP" key="Left"/>
  <command name="HLIST_DOWN" key="Right"/>
  <command name="HLIST_LEFT" key="Up"/>
  <command name="HLIST_RIGHT" key="Dn"/>
