(XBMC) Want to adjust the volume with the mouse wheel

[linuxyogi]

I want to use the mouse wheel to adjust volume in XBMC.

I found these 2 solutions but none worked.

Solution 1

Solution 2

$ xbmc --version
XBMC Media Center 13.2 Git:0f3db05
Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Team XBMC - http://xbmc.org

Is there a way to do this in 13.2 ?

first to open:

sudo gedit /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/mouse.xml

and then to replace with: added lines are in brown

Awesome ! It worked. Since you are also using 13.2 I simply deleted whatever was on that file and replaced it with yours.
