XBMC - and using Harmony 525 as the remote

Got my original box up and running XBMC fine - however have one slight problem

The box itself has the official DVD remote dongle attached to the front but I have lost the remote itself

I have set the harmony up with a device of games console with DVD drive - selected manufacturer of Microsoft and device as Xbox

The remote now works fine for basic navigation but .....

no BACK button and no command to use the white button etc

Can anyone help me somehow get the remote to have these commands - obviously I cant learn them and I dont want to have the controller plugged in for media use

Pic of what I have (had)



Have tried a Windows MC remote and the remote from the 360 but the IR dongle on the old xbox does not seem to register them

XBMC key mappings you can edit them

Keymap.xml should be in xbmc/userdata

For Harmony in XBMC Back = ChannelPrev and White = Title
