Logitech Harmony Hub - Extra Commands

[cosmoxl]

Yes I know that it works. If you add that feature, your software would be number 1 of all on Apple TV. You will have a great advantage.

I have tried them all, Infuse, Emby Client, Plex Client. Yours is better. Especially that it is based on Kodi. It can also do HDR -> SDR on the fly conversion which made me very impressed. (It's probably Apple TV doing it, but it works in your software and not in the others)

If you also add keyboard support, it will make your software fully controllable and by far above all.

Here Here! Unfortunately, the HDR -> SDR conversion when AVF is used as decoder is currently broken in the 11.3 betas. I'm really hoping it starts working again in the release. I'd roll back to 11.2.5 release if I could. Anyway, just a gentle heads up so that you don't begin to rely on it too much in case it doesn't work anymore in the future. In the meantime I've setup a PC with plex media player and mpc-hc with latest lav and madvr to do the tonemapping of HDR to SDR...

Mine is a small Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. This

I also have a mac keyboard but never used it. Maybe I should try that and pair it with the Apple TV and see what happens.

Just connected my apple wireless keyboard. The same result. Only major keys work. Like left right up down enter space esc.

The alphabet doesn't do anything. Normally the T should turn on off the subtitle.

Can't you do a siricustomcontroller.xml and make a key for subtitle?
I have harmony hub and have done it that way.

[Zodler]

Could you please say in more details how to do that if it works for you.

<!-- This file contains the mapping of keys (gamepad,remote and keyboard) to actions within XBMC -->
<!-- The <global> section is a fall through - they will only be used if the button is not -->
<!-- used in the current window's section. Note that there is only handling -->
<!-- for a single action per button at this stage. -->
<!-- For joystick/gamepad configuration under linux/win32, see below as it differs from xbox -->
<!-- gamepads. -->

<!-- The format is: -->

<!-- To map keys from other remotes using the RCA protocol, you may add <customcontroller name="SiriRemote"> blocks -->

<!-- eg <button id="6">ActivateWindow(Favourites)</button>
<!-- would bring up Favourites when the button with the id of 6 is press. In this case, "Menu" -->

<!-- 'id' is the button ID used by SDL. The key ids recognized from your remote appears -->
