Changing Mapping On Vero V Shipped Remote

[darwindesign]

@sam_nazarko

Please note if you make a change you’ll need to reinstate it every time OSMC updates Kodi.

That is not how Kodi’s keymapping works. A person wouldn’t change the system level keymap as userdata files stack and override.

My question is, what file contains the mapping for the OEM Vero V remote?
And where is it located in the Vero device?

The following guide should answer all your questions…

OSMC Remote - Long Press Keymap Guide

Introduction This guide is intended to serve as a reference for users who want to modify the button behavior of their OSMC remote controls. This is not intended as a general guide on key mapping in Kodi, or a thread for general keymap questions. If you need to familiarize yourself with keymaps, or what things you can do with them your first step should be Kodi’s wiki on the subject.

I’m guessing what you want it to add an xml file in ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/ with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
	<FullscreenVideo>
		<keyboard>
			<rightbracket>ActivateWindow(1101)</rightbracket>
		</keyboard>
	</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

Except I’m pretty sure that isn’t going to work and I don’t think there is a way to directly keymap what you want without modifying the skin itself. What you can do without an issue is keymap directly to the locations that menu is pointing to. This is already done by default with menu opening the video settings, holding down menu bringing up the audio settings, and holding down stop bringing up the subtitle settings. You can of course switch around what buttons do what using that file Sam linked to as a guide.
