can some one help to map aios or mce remote codes to xios for harmony ?

I would, but I'm still waiting for Pivos fulfillment to give me a quote to ship two units to AU!
Once I get mine I will definitely look at mapping the Harmony (as a MCE-1039) to keys using remote.conf

I cross m fingers so you get yours sooner ...

the problem I'm talking about is that if I set the Harmony to xios it only has standard controls and to add more functionality it needs a device to learn from it .
so how can I add a button to my harmony and tell it to send keyboard signal ?

A while ago, I posted in that thread you linked with instructions on how to teach your Harmony any other codes you might want to add (assuming you want to retain the original remote's functionality). It involves teaching your Logitech Harmony remote codes in Phillips Pronto format through the Open Source version of the Harmony software (Concordance) typically used by Linux and sometimes Windows users. My post has a text file with the list of 256 possible codes in that Pronto format (the box probably supports over 64000 different codes if you alter remote.conf to use the extended NEC protocol, but I didn't verify this so I didn't include any of the possible extended codes).

Using ckitching's remote codes, the Harmony DB, the existing remote.conf, atakbd.c and keyboard.xml I have put together a spreadsheet of how things are currently mapped for a Harmony remote. I am uncertain about several buttons, someone who already has a unit may need to clarify them.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... k9lV1N2MXc

My aim out of this is to
1) Map the codes in remote.conf to unused keys, and hence XBMC functions (e.g. subtitle on/off, audio delay etc.)
2) Map some of the additional codes provided by ckitching to unused keys and XBMC functions
3) Give meaningful names to new buttons in both 1 & 2, and email them to Logitech Support for inclusion in the XIOS profile. We are able to do so individually for our own profiles but maybe if Pivos submitted it on our behalf it might be available in the standard profile for everyone.

Approaching additional remote features this way hopefully means editing of keyboard.conf isn't required.

Or maybe I'm stepping on toes and they already have something like this in-house. If so, apologies

Those with XIOS units and Harmony remotes, please feel free to update the spreadsheet.

Using the 24/08 build - can we now save our remote conf? Or is it getting lost on reboot?

You can save it directly to usersata now, but S95xbmc still start it from /etc/xbmc

I see a few people have had a look at the remote mappings spreadsheet I've put together.

I have added several mappings for existing functions that aren't mapped to Harmony buttons in the current profile, and also added new mappings for Pause, ShowSubtitle, NextSubtitle, ToggleWatched and AudioDelay.

Are there any others worth adding that don't require customising keyboard.xml ?

great work on the spread sheet ...
can you tell us how to add new buttons to harmony
i.e : how to assign play on harmony when there is no play button to assign to
and what should I add to my remote.conf

in short terms can you give us complete how to for this ?

Not really, my units only shipped today so it will be late next week at the earliest before I receive them.

Basically remote.conf already has some functions mapped to key presses, e.g. function 0x88 maps to 25 - which is the P key. In XBMC's keyboard.xml P is used for the Play command.

What you would need to do is obtain the IR code for function 88 and then add it to the Harmony remote with the name "Play". Then you can assign it to the play button. ckitching's post has a link to some instructions on how to do it manually (but only one code), so I put the spreadsheet together to work out what functions need to be mapped. This would allow me to take the IR codes from ckitching's post and use IRTool to obtain the IR codes not in ckitching's document and then email Harmony Support to add those IR codes to the XIOS device in my Harmony profile.

The only additions to remote.conf would be the 5 "new mappings" listed in the spreadsheet, and they would be added similar to the existing mappings:

Code: Select all

         0x85 57
         0xe0 20
         0xe1 38
         0xe2 17
         0xe3 30

Of course this is all theory - until I receive my units I can't test this. If someone else wants to be the guinea pig I can put up a changed remote.conf and text document of IR codes you can send to Logitech, that wont be until tonight though (it's currently 9am WST, Australia) - so 10 hours at the earliest.

I think you will find it is very worthwhile customizing keyboard.xml
