Because of the lag between requesting a channel and actually getting a picture the traditional way of clicking up and down through channels just doesn't make much since.
However, a good method if already watching a channel is to press 'c' to bring up the context menu, which acts as a mini guide, and allows you to surf through the channels using up and down before actually selecting one to go to.
Using the keyboard this is simple but using a remote its complicated. Even somewhat if you have a remote but mapped to the 'c' key.
To me, the way it should work is that if you press the up or down key kodi would do some type of if then else logic to decide whether to open the context menu or act as up and down button.
if (up OR down == pressed AND context.menu == closed ) {
context.menu.open();
}
Is there any addon that does this or a way to achieve this without an addon?
