Hi Nicolas

Thanks for the reply and for testing it.

You should be able to use all of the buttons that the TV is sending. If
you go into frontend->Setup->Edit Keys, then navigate to a function, go
to add a keystroke, then when it asks for you to press a key, press the
key on the remote and it will assign the key to that function. This
should work with every key that is passed, you can assign the red green
blue buttons and others to commands as needed. Let me know if this
works. If not I will try to fix it. I can make every signal do something
in MythTV if I know what signals are being sent.

If you run the cec-client also you can see if some buttons are reported
as commands instead of keystrokes. I added code to recognize the "Menu"
button on my TV because I saw with the cec-client it was sent as a
command not a keystroke.
