Show TV Show Infomation as Default Select Action

[williamhogan1]

Hey guys,
Apologies If I have placed this in the incorrect topic.

At the moment while browsing TV Shows, if a user selects a show using the “Ok” button on the Vero 4k+ remote, the screen navigates to the season selection, eg season 1, 2, or 3.

What I would love to be able to change is having the infomation for that tv show popup/display (Screenshot for reference) instead of the season selection.

The “default Select Action” in Settings > Media > Videos is set to “Show Infomation” but I guess this is only for movies?

Sorry if I haven’t using quite the correct terminology but the infomation button on the remote is what I’m referring too.
In any case, many thanks in advance for any ideas or feedback!

This seems like an undesirable way to navigate, and you can bring up the full screen information screen with the “i” button on the remote, but if you really want this behavior it should be something like this (not tested fyi)…

<keymap>
	<Videos>
		<keyboard>
			<return>info</return>
			<return mod="longpress">select</return>
		</keyboard>
	</Videos>
</keymap>

If you don’t already know where to put that see this thread…

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.

As for the select behavior setting I think the disparity your seeing is that setting being for a media items and not for folders.
