Dedicated EPG remote button

Post by smudger »

Hi

i'm using MRMC in conjunction with a tvheadend server.

Is there anyway to make the context menu button on the fire tv remote call up the guide?
the context menu button seems to have the same function as a long press on the centre button so being able to map it to open the epg would be a cool feature.

Congrats on a very cool app by the way.

My Gen 1 firetv box can be used to watch free to air HD channels here in Australia.
My current gen fire tv stick though struggles with HD channels. Is this just lack of horsepower compared to the gen 1 box?

Thanks

Yeah, there just isn't enough ponies to run it.

Have a look at the codec info http://wiki.mrmc.tv/index.php/Codec_Info that will show you CPU usage.

We handle the remote in the same way as kodi does, you can modify the remote keymap as you like and place it in user folder/keymaps... we don't have the wiki on that yet, but use this -> http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_keymaps to get you started

Thanks Amet

Got the desired result with this keymap. Might be useful for some other people


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<Global>
<keyboard>
<menu>ActivateWindow(tvguide)</menu>
<menu mod="longpress">ActivateWindow(tvrecordings)</menu>
</keyboard>
</Global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<menu>ActivateWindow(tvguide)</menu>
<menu mod="longpress">ActivateWindow(tvrecordings)</menu>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
<tvguide>
<keyboard>
<menu>FullScreen</menu>
</keyboard>
</tvguide>
<tvrecordings>
<keyboard>
<menu>FullScreen</menu>
</keyboard>
</tvrecordings>
</keymap>



Is there a way to manually alter the time?
Im using the fire tv in australia but as it is not sold here australia is not a selectable region timezone and therefore the clock is out
As mrmc is using the system clock it means my guide times are out.
Any way to offset the time?

Thanks Again
