View Full Version : Lircmap shutdown menu?

I've searched and searched for a way to bind the shutdown menu to a key on my remote and have found very little.
Everything I have found mentions XBMC.ShutDown() which seems to do nothing when bound to a key.

To clarify I'm looking to bring up the same menu as when the S key is pressed.

Thanks for any help. ^_^

I have it mapped to my zero button on my remote in keymap.xml

<zero>XBMC.ActivateWindow(ShutDownMenu)</zero>


cheers

I have it mapped to the power button

Keymap.xml

<power>XBMC.ShutDown()</power>

Lircmap.xml

<power>OnOff</power>

The string "OnOff" above is the name of my power button in /etc/lirc/lirc.conf you will need to change it to match whatever yours says.

That will shutdown xbmc, not bring up the shutdown menu. My method does work perfectly using the original xbox remote in linux.

I think the issue is that you can't map numbers .. try mapping anything else besides number ..

I believe the correct string is ActivateWindow(shutdownmenu) ---not--- XBMC.ActivateWindow(ShutDownMenu)

Edit.

I tried them both and they both work. No difference in either one.

Actually yours does work, I had a serious problem in my keymap.xml file that was mucking up everything after a certain point. Many thanks again. ^_^

Numbers map just fine afaik and I wasn't mapping them anyway.
