Stop video by pressing back on remote?

Help and Support
1

Hi, just received a Vero 4k (to replace an Nvidia Shield running SPMC).

I’m trying to get video to stop when pressing back on the remote, rather than stop.

I hav placed this in a remote.xml file in the keymap folder, what am i doing wrong?

 <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <back>stop</back>
    </remote>
    <keyboard>
    <backspace>stop</backspace>
    <escape>stop</escape>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

I edited your post for you and added the pre-format tag to make the post readable.

You are missing the

<keymap>

opening tag. Check if it’s actually missing, or if you just didn’t get it in your copy.

You also have an opening

<keyboard>

tag without a closing tag.

hi, i had the keymap but was missing from the copy and the paste.

corrected the /keyboard part.

Still no joy though. Any ideas?

Did you restart Kodi after making the changes?

hi, i did.

I’m using a harmony remote, does that make any difference?

It looks OK to me, but I haven’t tried this myself. I’ve got to go out and mow the lawn right now. I’ll try to get this working when I’m done with the lawn.

I assume you are using the OSMC remote?

Thank you, using a harmony remote with the Vero profile.

OK, lawn is mowed :wink: (The chickens helped by following me so they could get all the tasty bugs the mower stirs up)

Using the OSMC remote this remote.xml works like you want:

osmc@ood:~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps$ cat remote.xml 
<keymap>
 <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <back>stop</back>
    </remote>
    <keyboard>
     <backspace>stop</backspace>
     <escape>stop</escape>
    </keyboard>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

So it this is not working on the Harmony remote, I’d guess that what you are calling the back button isn’t really the back button.

Thanks for your help yesterday.

I added everything I could think of to the remote.xml and one of them has worked (just in case anyone else experiences the same issue)

Would you please share your working file? I could help others that may have the same question.

Thanks for your help on this

Not sure if this keeps it’s formatting, but the following remote.xml file worked.

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <return>stop</return>
      <back>stop</back>
      <previous>stop</previous>
      <prev>stop</prev>
      <exit>stop</exit>
    </remote>
    <keyboard>
    <backspace>stop</backspace>
    <escape>stop</escape>
    </keyboard>
  </FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
