In a previous post I detailed the difficulty that I have been experiencing mapping the non-standard key codes implemented by Samsung for my television remote. In that post I showed how SSH can be used to inspect log files to see what actions are taking place in response to key presses. While this can be very useful it is not always possible to discover all the key names in order to map them. So the purpose of this post is to keep a running list of the keys on my remote, whether they are mappable and what their key code is (if I can discover it). As I find new codes I’ll update the list.
First of all here’s a picture of my remote for reference. I would seem that plenty of Samsung TV remotes for different models keep the same physical layout but just screen print different labels on the buttons. If your remote differs from mine only in a minor way it may be worth matching your physical button up with mine and giving the respective code a go. Certainly on my remote the key codes do not necessarily match the physical label on the button.
So working from left to right, top to bottom I will present each button in the following format: <physical label>,<behaviour>,<key code>…

–EDIT: Sorry, it didn’t like the tags… here are quotes instead.
The RaspBMC CEC tag for ‘return’ and ‘pre-ch’ keys is ‘title’ and ‘teletext’ respectively.
