Context Menu stop working

[odigokid]

Has anyone had an issue where clicking to pull up the context menu stops working.
I have a person I provided a fire stick too with kodi and the context menu is no longer working, but it was working before.

Is there any corrupt file we can delete or something?

Any ideas

thanks

Might check your keybord map file. You should have a custom one for the Fire Stick/TV boxes to get the remote working better with Kodi.

yep, you need a custom one.. the context menu is not mapped by default..
here is one, paste to file a empty txt file called keyboard.xml (remove any .txt extension) and copy it to: userdata/keymaps
it will also give codec info when playing a file and some other stuff, anyway you can customize it as you like, its pretty straight forward:


<keymap>

<Global>
<keyboard>
<up>Up</up>
<down>Down</down>
<left>Left</left>
<right>Right</right>
<enter>Select</enter>
<menu>ContextMenu</menu>
<backspace>Back</backspace>
<rewind>PageUp</rewind>
<fastforward>PageDown</fastforward>
</keyboard>
</Global>

<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<up>ChapterOrBigStepForward</up>
<down>ChapterOrBigStepBack</down>
<left>StepBack</left>
<right>StepForward</right>
<enter>OSD</enter>
<menu>CodecInfo</menu>
<backspace>Back</backspace>
<rewind>Rewind</rewind>
<fastforward>FastForward</fastforward>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>

</keymap>
