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
