Screenshot keybinding for Apple Remote

This will make the center remote button take a screenshot when in fullscreen video (the video player). Regular remote functionality should be the same, and at least my remote already had two play/pause buttons bound so I just replaced one of them.

  1. Close PHT if it is launched
  2. Open /Applications/Plex Home Theater.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/system/keymaps/joystick.AppleRemote.xml
  3. Find the XML node keymap -> FullscreenVideo -> button id="5".
  4. Set node value to Screenshot
  5. Save and launch PHT.
