Streamzap Remote LIRC with Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat - diafygi - 2010-12-07 Howdy all, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Revo 3700. I use the team-xbmc-svn PPA for my xbmc installation. I also have a Streamzap PC Remote that I would like to use with xbmc. However, I can't seem to get the remote to work when I go through the steps on the Streamzap wiki. Here's my steps: First, I plug in USB receiver. Second, I install LIRC from the Ubuntu repository: Code: sudo apt-get install lirc Third, I start to configure LIRC for the streamzap remote: Code: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc Fourth, I select "Streamzap PC Remote" as the receiving device and "None" as the transmitting device in the configuration window, which completes the configuration. Fifth, I verify that the configuration is correct in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (both are the same as what's listed in the wiki). Sixth, I restart LIRC: Code: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart Seventh, I try to get a signal from the remote by pressing buttons after typing the following command: Code: irw There should be input displayed in the terminal as I press the remote buttons, but there is none. The light on the USB receiver blinks when I press a button, and the batteries in the remote are fresh. Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot? - diafygi - 2011-01-04 Just a follow up, I found that my streamzap remote was defective. I contacted Streamzap and they promptly sent me a new one |
