Hi I was studying the keyboard.xml to understand how it works and then tweak a little bit my Harmony.xml for getting a better use
I don't understand this xml...for example
this is a part of keyboard.xml:

<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<f>FastForward</f>
<r>Rewind</r>
<h>Stop</h>
<backspace>SmallStepBack</backspace>
<opensquarebracket>BigStepBack</opensquarebracket>
<closesquarebracket>BigStepForward</closesquarebracket>
<return>Pause</return>
<m>OSD</m>
<i>CodecInfo</i>
<t>Info</t>
<o>ShowTime</o>
<z>AspectRatio</z>
<s>ShowSubtitles</s>
<l>NextSubtitle</l>
<left>StepBack</left>
<right>StepForward</right>
<up>BigStepForward</up>
<down>BigStepBack</down>
<a>AudioNextLanguage</a>
<f1>OSD</f1>
<f2>Rewind</f2>
<f3>FastForward</f3>
<f4>VolumeUp</f4>
<f5>VolumeDown</f5>
<f6>Info</f6>
<f7>Stop</f7>
<escape>Stop</escape>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>

what is Full screen video? I think that it is when I watch a movie in fullscreen
and so considering the keyboard.xml if a press on my keyboard the "s" button when I watch a tv shows I should see the subtitle's root
but indeed nothing happens...why?

I was also reading this post:
http://forums.plexap...997&#entry52997
to try a better use of the escape button for my Harmony but I don't understand how to do that
I have to insert each string manually?
<keymap>
<global>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>PreviousMenu</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</global>

<FullScreenVideo>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>Stop</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</FullScreenVideo>

<MyPrograms>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>ParentDir</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</MyPrograms>

<MyFiles>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>ParentDir</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</MyFiles>

<VideoMenu>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>OSD</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</VideoMenu>

<MyVideoLibrary>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>ParentDir</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</MyVideoLibrary>

<MyVideoFiles>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>ParentDir</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</MyVideoFiles>

<MyPictures>
<harmonyremote>
<exit>ParentDir</exit>
</harmonyremote>
</MyPictures>

</keymap>


many thanks

those main tags such as <FullscreenVideo> and <MyPrograms> etc. relate to the section of the program you're in.
There can be different functions for one key of the remote depending on where you are in the application.

the "S" key only toggles the subtitles on or off so no OSD will appear when you press it.

reagrding the escape key, you will need to define the key for your harmony in all 'sections' of the .xml.
as stated, the escape key can have a specific function in one area and a different one in another.

many thanks for the reply

1) and which is the key to show the subtitle with OSD menu...I mean
i.e when I watch a tv show I have to press "m" and then the icon with the speaker and then the tag "Show Subtitle"
is there a shortcut key to get it faster?

2) So I have to insert the key in all the sections: there is not a global setting
3) Could you please tell me something about the meaning of these sections or tell me where to find a description of each section?

<FullScreenVideo>

<MyFiles>

<Visualisation>

<VideoMenu>

<VideoOSD>

<VideoMenu>

<MyVideoLibrary>

<MyVideoFiles>

and as an example
4) if I want to set my "Exit " button on Harmony remote to work as the "escape" buttton of the keyboard when I am watching a movie I have to put this string:
<escape>Exit</escape> on my Harmony.xml
but where? in <Fullscreen video>

5) and instead if I want to set my "Exit " button on Harmony remote to work as the "escape" buttton of the keyboard when I navigate in my Video library or TV Shows library
I have to put the same string :
<escape>Exit</escape> on my Harmony.xml
where? in <My Video Library> and <My Video Files> the difference?
right?

Sorry to ask a lot of things but I want to get it

still many thanks

no, I don't think there's a faster way of getting to that part..

good that you mention that, there is actually a global settings part in the .xml where you can define keys to be used globally.

<FullScreenVideo>
self-explanatory, right?
<MyFiles>
when you are browsing in file mode
<Visualisation>
I think that's the music visualization part
<VideoMenu>
not sure
<VideoOSD>
the OSD that appears when you press "m"
<VideoMenu>
not sure
<MyVideoLibrary>
when you're browsing in library mode
<MyVideoFiles>
not sure if this is the file mode browsing part or the <MyFiles> section

I'm not sure which escape button on your harmony you would map, don't you mean the previous channel button?

I simply have the following configured in the harmony software:

I think "s" does this, but I'm not sure.
