Use stock remote to pause/play/stop Video by hitting a button on stock remote....possible?

[spot0915]

Hi,

currently I only have the stock remote of the Tronsmart.
The thing is, in xbmc you can not stop/pause a video by hitting one button on the remote, you first have to hit "OK" to get the on screen menu, than move right then again OK to stop.
I would like to stop (or pause or start again after pause) with just one hit on the remote.
Unfortunately the stock remote has no buttons for "play/pause/stop".

Question: can I re-configure one of the other buttons to do what I want using the keyboard.xml file?
For example, "Volume-" and "Volume+" are uselesse for me in xbmc as I use passthrough and volume is done by the AVR.

So I tried to make my own keyboard.xml with these commands:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
 <global>
    <keyboard>
     <volume_down>Stop</volume_down>
     <volume_up>Play</volume_up>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

Didn´t work, so I tried

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
 <global>
    <keyboard>
     <volumeplus>Play</volumeplus>
     <volumeminus>Stop</volumeminus>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

Also no success.....

Anyone any idea if this is possible and if so, how to do it?

Thanks
Mark

you can use the program addon keymap editor

or test with this one see if it works or not :

<keymap>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<c>ContextMenu</c>
<menu>ContextMenu</menu>
<backspace>Stop</backspace>
<return>Play</return>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

or if you want volume_up and down :

<keymap>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<volume_down>Stop</volume_down>
<volume_up>Play</volume_up>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
