Can any Kodi users help with this...how to access options using a remote.

by oonegative

Ideally what I want to do is switch between different groups of channels within the EPG by accessing the options menu in the bottom left here .

I am running this on a PC using a MCE remote and I can't figure out how to get the focus on that options icon to select it. In theory I could probably scroll all the way to the bottom of the channel list but that is inelegant at best.

Has anyone else had a similar issue? Could someone maybe suggest a workaround?

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask but as it's EPG related I thought this sub might be worth a shot.

Good question. I can't help you specifically, but I use a flirc USB ir receiver can you can customize ever button press system wide...

You should be able to accomplish this very easily without needed to edit any settings.

Just an option :) and thry are only like 20 bucks!

It will let you use any remote. I use the Xbox one one with backlighting it's sexy as he'll!

On the Kodi wiki it says that while you are watching Live TV and you hit the Arrow Keys <- or -> it will change the group (Previous group or Next group). I cant' test it since I only have 1 group.

Ok so i just figured out that with the M key, you get the Options menu on the side while in EPG guide

try to see if you can remap that key
