New raspbmc

I had the auto-update for raspbmc turned off so I decided to update.  The UI performs much better with this version.  I did have some more remote issues.  The “back” button and “i/more” button on the remote didn’t work anymore.

The fix was to update the XML files related to the remote.

First .xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

<lircmap>
  <remote device="devinput">
    <back>KEY_ESC</back>
    <info>KEY_COMPOSE</info>
    <star>KEY_SUBTITLE</star>
    <play>KEY_PLAYPAUSE</play>
  </remote>
</lircmap>

And then .xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml

<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
      <star>contextmenu</star>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

This maps:

  • left arrow/back to back
  • i/more to info
  • asterisk to the context menu
  • play/pause works as expected
