I have a Rpi with OpenELEC running Frodo and all works great by usb keyboard. I bought a cheap IR remote control with USB IR receiver. When I say cheap, the case on the remote is twisted. The key mapping sucks as well and is not very helpful. The remote is recognized by the system and does operate in general.
I am trying to replace the remote with my DirecTV universal remote but my problem is, I don't even know if the USB IR Receiver is 38 khz compatible. I would like to first see if the any data is being received and transferred into the Rpi, then of course record and map the key presses.
I have searched the forums (XBMC & RPI) with nothing but GPIO IR Receiver data which didn't help since I'm using a USB connection and not the GPIO. Read up on keyboard and remote mapping but those didn't point me in the direction I feel I need to start in.
Any pointers would be helpful.
