Google Street View mouse wheels...

XMBC Version: 2.20.5
Installed or Portable version: Installed
Windows Version: 10
Mouse Information (brand/model): Logitech MX Master 3S
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc):
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): No
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): No
How long have you used XMBC?:
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: Spanish

How do I have to configure the application to associate the horizontal wheel with the horizontal rotation of the panoramic view in street view. With the keyboard it would be the letters A or D or the right or left arrows to move. I would also like to use the vertical mouse wheel to look up or down in the panorama.

Firstly, you have to figure out how to recognise goole street view from other windows, so you can setup a profile for that. As its a webpage, its more tricky - particually as there is no way to identify streetview mode from the window (browser) caption. You may have to have a profile for your browser that matches on the window title (regex) "*.Goole Maps", but I cant really help much more with that as it will be browser specific (if it is even possible).

If you can get a profile to activate, then you set the tilt wheel left/right to simulated keystrokes and use a and d. You might want to use Method 6 (repeat while down) BUT there is a problem with that, as the tilt wheel is NOT a button and thus does not discrete down and up messages. You can make virtual discrete down and up messages by ticking the "Ignore repeated remapped horizontal scroll" option on the profile's options tab (and maybe play around with the for (milliseconds) value to suit).

Something like this works for me in Edge....

I don't know about up/down are there keys for that? I cant find any, w/s or up/down arrows seem to move forward/backwards. But If so repeat the above for the wheel up/down with said keys, also turn on Ignore repeated remapped vertical scroll" on the options tab. Obviously that will "break" the default zoom with the wheel.

Hello. Just discovered XMouse, still experimenting. (Testing portable to start with.)
What I really want to do is stop mouse scrolling from switching to zoom on ALL maps. This could equally be over all images - whether in a browser or not (any other programme).
Have used a hook to intercept mouse scroll (same code I already use for blocking or recording keystrokes), but failed to detect what the pointer is over to change the behaviour.
Would you be interested? Any ideas?
Regards

XMBC reads the window properties under the cursor (class name, process, styles etc) to activate its profiles.
I'm not sure however if it will be easy to tell if that "window" contains an image or not - particularly on browsers as the "window" will be the whole page - it is impossible (AFAIK outside the browser itself) to know what the HTML element is under the cursor - that would require a browser plugin, which in turn, would not be able to hook the mouse etc....

So while it may be possible in XMBC, it wont be easy to distinguish between images and other things automatically... And I guess the same goes for any other DIY code :/

Thanks, Phil for your comments.
Those are indeed the problems I have encountered.

The signature issue may be because you are still in the "new user" group - it needs 4 or 5 posts to get out of that automatically (but I'm not 100% sure about that, Ive been a bit lax in keeping up to speed with the forum software (and XMBC to be fair) I just don't have the time I used to have!

I'm not sure about the notification email - it could be many things - maybe it got spam bucketed somewhere, or maybe there is a delivery failure report sat on the server somewhere (I tend not to bother looking at those, because the majority are spam bots failing to register - its not generally worth my time). I can chase it if need be, but I'm guessing right no that its not critical???!!
