Keyboard bindings

Post by meadrocks »

I have a remote control that is a wireless keyboard, it is sending key presses just like a USB keyboard does. It has arrow keys, ESC, Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Next Chapter, Previous Chapter buttons. All these work as expected in Kodi on a RPi. MythTV keyboard bindings use a lot of letter keys, 'P' for Play/pause for example. I'd like to add the Play/Pause keyboard button to have the same functionality as the letter 'P'. Is there a keyboard key bindings file I can edit to add this functionality?

They are not in a file but in the database on your main backend.
Access it with Frontend > setup > edit keys > but do it carefully!
You can have more than one key per function.
An unsolved oddity though - my system responds to P for both play and pause but in the setup it has P and ctrl P respectively.
Is yours the same?
You can also set them from mythweb.

Does each Frontend have its own config in the db? Will I have to do this on each & every Frontend I have?

Yes, that's my understanding.
With mythtweb there is a box to select frontend.

I was trying in Frontend->Setup->Edit Keys-> TV Playback-> Pause is now mapped to MediaPlay button. Yea! It acts just like the 'P' key.
