Hello everyone.
I've been struggling with getting the multimedia keys on my bluetooth keyboard working. I'm hoping that someone else has had a similar problem and can give me a hand.
I have an apple bluetooth keyboard (aluminum model).
I have the keyboard working, via bluetooth, under Crystalbuntu 1 on an ATV1 (which is based on Ubuntu Hardy Heron and XBMC Eden), but the multimedia keys are not working.
When I press the keys, i get the following in the xbmc log:
No 'Onkey' entries in the log..
I have the following in '/root/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml'
(to check if the keys are being 'seen' by xbmc)
If I type fn+F7 (same button as the multimedia key 'back', but switched to function mode).. i get the following:
So that key works.
I have used 'xev' to check the keycodes:
back = 234
play-pause = 162
forward = 233
mute = 160
volume-down=174
volume-up=176
eject=204
so I previously tried the following in keyboard.xml
log shows same result.
Any idea on how to get the multimedia keys working ?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Cheers
