Keymap.xml modification

Hi all,
I would like to modify my keymap.xml in usr/share/enigma2 and especially 2 keys and assign different function.
Currently I have:
Up/Down – calls channel list
</> - Zap/change the channels 1 step up/down
I need to have Up/Down – Zap/change the channels 1 step up/down
Could someone point me out to the part/section or the keymap.xml that is related to those functions?
Mu idea is to see how/what is assigned to </> and do same for Up/Down buttons.
Also is it only in 1 place/section I have to edit or more….
Do you think the idea I have is going to bring the result I am looking for?
Thanks for your advices
Cheers!

Note: I am using Premium/RC4/HD16_2.17 with applied mapping for RES as help/keymap.xml located in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/setupGlass16/ is deleted and left there only keymap2.xml

Hi satlubitel, I use a keymap.xml (rename it removing .txt) similar one you need. It's based on hfml's keymap.

It work so:
Up-Down: change channel (next-previous)
Ok: channel list
Exit: info
Radio: radio mode
Resolution: tv mode
REC: start record

and the other as always.

My last goal is to have volume settings via left/right but if I enable it I can't move page by page in channel list (for example).
Try this one and let me know if there's other changes you need. We can study how to apply them.
I had to rename the ones from skin (as you mentioned).
Anyway the section to edit is:

Code:

<map context="InfobarChannelSelection"> <key id="KEY_DOWN" mapto="zapUp" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_UP" mapto="zapDown" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_OK" mapto="openServiceList" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_PREVIOUS" mapto="historyBack" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_NEXT" mapto="historyNext" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_BACK" mapto="historyBack" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_FORWARD" mapto="historyNext" flags="mr" /> <key id="KEY_CHANNELUP" mapto="openServiceList" flags="m" /> <key id="KEY_CHANNELDOWN" mapto="openServiceList" flags="m" /> <key id="BTN_0" mapto="zapUp" flags="mr" /> <key id="BTN_1" mapto="zapDown" flags="mr" /> </map>

Hi SNL,

I have tested and unfortunately it doesn't work as described: Up/Down still calls channel list (same as OK).
I have tryed to edit the section in you have mentioned few different variants, rebooted every time and still no any difference...
Seems function of that keymap.xml is taken over of something else....dont know what.
Seems like it is something from the skin...have that feeling but cannot confirm.
So to conclude: No matters what I change, always <> are changing the channels and not Up/Down as I like...
Will keep trying....
Cheers!

You have to rename/delete the two keymaps from the skin. Normally, I rename them.

Yes, I have tried that as well, but if both keymap and keymap2 are renamed, after the reboot I have 98 on the VFD and black screen on the TV or green screen....basically thats all....no luck
hmmm
Do you have same skin+patches?
I have:
enigma2-skin-hdglass16_2.17_mipsel.ipk
+
azbox-change-picture-skin-hdglass16_1_mipsel.ipk
+
azbox-change-picture-skin-hdglass16_2_mipsel.ipk

My system is: PremiumHD, RC4, Glassh16.1.05.
I've just tested with original keymap from skin, and modified one in /usr/share/enigma2 and the result is not the same.
OK: infobar
Exit: infobar.
ovverriding my changes in
<map context="InfobarChannelSelection" >
.....
<key id="KEY_OK" mapto="openServiceList" flags="mr" />

You say that we need only to edit this keymap (/usr/share/enigma2) but can you explain the real target of the one in skin? Or in which section we have to change the key association for moving channel with up/down, channel list with OK, volume control with left/right when you are in TV, page up/down in channel list.

Again, if I rename the one in skin, and use the one modified as in post before all works well. Without volume control....

Thank you.

@ schmegea:
If I dont rename the keymap in setupGlass16, then no mater what I edit keymap.xml in usr/share/enigma2, there is no effect...
So seems keymap of the skin has to be renamed and keymap2 MUST stay untouched (if take it out, I get green screen)
I use v 2.17

@ SNL:
So thats myght be the diffrence, I am not on 1.05, but 2.17 and Up/Down is not working. When I was on 1.05, yes it was like you say-Up/Down was assigned to zapping.
Now the interesting point: I have uninstalled 2.17, deleted all related folders and installed clean 1.05 and found it is not behaving as before but exactly as 2.17...so no way to make Up/Down to zap...they always call list.
Seems 2.17 changed something somewhere...kind og embeded setting and now no maters which version of the HD16 skin is and what keymap.xml I use always Up/Down are calling satellite list and not Zapping...
Cheers!

Ok, I've installed last version and modified some files for our goal.

Rename /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/setupGlass16/keymap.xml.
I've modified keymap2.xml from skin to use KEY_RADIO for ECM and TP info, I've used Radio button for the moment because I don't know the codes of other free keys, and radio in not working so well (in RC4). If someone knows other KEY_ we can use it (for example the len-search key), let us know.

Edit this file that way:

Code:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/setupGlass16/keymap2.xml <keymap> <map context="GlobalActions"> <key id="KEY_RADIO" mapto="showSpecialScreen" flags="m" /> </map> </keymap>

And put in /usr/share/enigma2 the attached keymap.xml (rename it).
It's just missing volume control with left/right. But other things are working well as we want.

Try this keymap:

- Multimedia keys OK
- Record on REC
- Timeshift on Play/Pause
- Stop on Stop button (Duh!)
- Subtitles on Sub-t (Red)
- Audio selection on Lang (Yellow)
- Recording list on Aux
- Delete (when supported by list) on DEL/BACK
- Switch between TV/Radio on TV/RADIO
- EPG on GUIDE

Other small fixes (suport for repeated events on some lists, etc) that I can't remember right now. Test it and enjoy.

*renamed*?

Did you unpacked the file first?

The file inside is named keymap.xml, you don't need to rename it.

BTW do you know how to get Grafical Multi EPG under GUIDE in .xml file

I can't seem to get that one, it's under BLUE option 2.

Would love to have that one under GUIDE

True, that's a good suggestion. I haven't figured out yet how to refer to a specific plugin either. Shouldn't be too difficult though, the keymap functionality is quite powerful.

@Carp95, I think I can do this, but it's not regarding (only) keymap.xml, it will also need some Python patching.

The problem is if you install a plugin that changes the same patched .py, all changes we have will get lost. It will happen also when you install a new patch.bin release.

The same way I could fix the volume + and - for left and right buttons, but I don't know if worth the effort as it will be lost on upgrade and I don't see any chances for this kind of patch (and keymap) become packaged by RTi team by default.

But we can pack it as an .ipk, so it will be easy to install again after new release of E2.

Yes, that's a good and easy solution too. We just can't forget to check if there was any changes by team in this files, else we could have some problem or lose functionalities.

I was thinking also in create a diff+patch installation, this would be a more secure approach. Well, let's see how it will be and if people like the solution before worry about this. :)

Let's continue the discussion about problems and solutions, pros and cons, and later today I came with some patchings regarding these comments.

True.

Actually, I don't have other remarks to your keymap at this moment I think.

In my opinion it's perfect, as it matches exactly the buttons I use from my Harmony remote in the original firmware.

Maybe one thing:

In mediaplayer, KEY_RED = subtitles. In TV, I still have to press KEY_YELLOW, then KEY_GREEN to be able to select the subtitles.

Maybe it'd be good to have it on KEY_RED in TV as well?

Apart from that, it would be nice to have the graphic multiepg under KEY_VIDEO (Guide) as mentioned above. I think it's a far better EPG than the standard.

Ok, here it is.

As usual, put keymap.xml in /usr/share/enigma2
Put patched InfoBarGenerics.py in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Screens

After this, *restart the AzBox* (not just the GUI!)

Some changes (besides the changes from previous version):

Guide => GraphMultiEpg
Info => Info of current event (was Guide before)
Left/Right => Volume -/+

Some small changes on inputbox actions:
FASTFORWARD and Del/Back => Delete
REWIND and Caps/Num => Backspace

On GraphMultiEpg:
OK == RED => Zap (check program informations on Info)

I'll take a look on this. Here in Brazil we don't have soft subtitles OTA on FTA channels, thats why I couldn't test it's behaviour yet. I'll test this on some crypted signal.

@all:
Please, when testing, pay attention if there are any function conflicts and regressions. Report here if you find any issue.

Comments and feedback are welcome.

Here is original InfoBarGenerics.py.

Can you please point where you get your mbox, so I could check if the problem is keymap conflict?

Also, please describe better the "mbox doesn't work". How? It doesn't even load, there's an error, etc?
The more info on feedback, more you could help to fix.

peers are off line with file that you posted. mbox is working but not as usual. only one peer is active. i didnt look in debug so i dont know details. but when i put this new file that you just posted everything is ok. mbox version is 06.0010. i dont know how is this possible, maybe just strange coincidence.

No problem.

If you have mbox or any other cam, please check the issue that @johan reported.
I'm curious about that problem. It doesn't make sense as there's nothing regarding cam modules patched, but we can't discard that strange such thing could happen.

First of all my results:

Premium HD, DVB-S, skin BlackShadow2, OSCAM

Works exactly as expected.

Quote:

Guide => GraphMultiEpg
Info => Info of current event (was Guide before)
Left/Right => Volume -/+

Some small changes on inputbox actions:
FASTFORWARD and Del/Back => Delete
REWIND and Caps/Num => Backspace

On GraphMultiEpg:
OK == RED => Zap (check program informations on Info)

:bravo-009:

With OSCAM, everything works fine and stable, as can be expected when changing the keymap.

I have not mbox server running anymore, maybe I can set this up later this week to try. (need to dig into my backups to find a proper configuration)

Anyway, from my point of view, great improvement PingFlood, this dramatically increases the acceptance of E2 by my wife :)
Mostly the simple things have very great effect on non-technical people.

@rtificial, check this new version.
I've patched InfoBarGenerics to add this functionality.

Now, when watching TV, RED => Subtitle selection.
