Hi,

I have an iMON Pad remote control; the newer one with kernel support.

Rather then hacking the system out and running with Lirc can I alter the key functions?

The keys are correctly mapped in:

/etc/rc_keymaps/imon-pad

and going through this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=126711

all is fine, have tested with ir-keytable.

Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=15c2 Product=0036 Version=0003

N: Name="iMON Remote (15c2:0036)"

P: Phys=usb-0000:00:14.0-13.3/input0

S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-13/3-13.3/3-13.3:1.0/rc/rc0/input17

U: Uniq=

H: Handlers=kbd event17 

B: PROP=0

B: EV=100013

B: KEY=fff 0 4400000108c0320 2d5008000000000 30000 400119000 418614000801 809e168000000000 200000010004002

B: MSC=10

What I'm asking for basically is that some of the buttons don't seem to be mapped in XBMC, the number pad being one of them.

I have another machine, running Lirc and a different remote of which the mapping was done between the Lircmap.xml file and the remote.xml file; how to achieve a similar result with the kernel module based remote though? Would I need to create a keyboard.xml? Is there any information on this?

The only thing I could find was:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=keymap

specifically:

Quote:4.2 Remotes
An up to date list of the available actions can be found in the source code of XBMC in ButtonTranslator.cpp where the TranslateRemoteString() function does the work.
Example:
<remote>
<play>Play</play>
</remote>

Does the above mean use the ButtonTranslator.cpp in a similar manner that Lirc uses the Lircmap.xml file?

Thanks.

Just a quick update; I had a look at ButtonTranslator.cpp and tried to cross-compare that with the ir-keytable file I generated. They don't entirely add up so I tried adding the names of the keys from the ir-keytable file to a file I called remote.xml but unfortunately that didn't work Sad

Here are the scan codes for the remote:

The buttons I'm able to use so far are:

Volume
Up/Down/Left/Right
Enter
Power
Mute
Back

but that's about it.

It would be great to get all the buttons working and mapped to features of my choosing.

Just looking at page 2 from here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=126711&page=2

According to what is written and quickly quoting:

Quote:Configure lirc in devinput mode: (This step is unnecessary. You can uninstall lirc completely, it won't cause any harm if you complete this step)

Does this mean that Lircmap.xml will work even without Lircd?

- Though I tried adding:

Code:
<lircmap>

  <remote device="linux-input-layer">

    <altname>cx23885_remote</altname>

    <altname>devinput</altname>

    <livetv>KEY_MEDIA</livetv>

  </remote>

</lircmap>

Then mapped it into remote.xml

Code:
<keymap>

        <global>

                <remote>

                        <left>Left</left>

                        <right>Right</right>

                        <up>Up</up>

                        <nine>ZoomLevel9</nine>

                        <zero>ZoomNormal</zero>

                </remote>

        </SlideShow>

</keymap>

The key being tested is KEY_MEDIA, though again it didn't work??

Though my remote is the later version the exact same input method -evdev is being used:

Code:
# ir-keytable

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event14) with:

        Driver imon, table rc-imon-pad

        Supported protocols: RC-6 other 

        Enabled protocols: other 

        Name: iMON Remote (15c2:0036)

        bus: 3, vendor/product: 15c2:0036, version: 0x0003

        Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

Code:
# ir-keytable -d /dev/input/event14

Name: iMON Remote (15c2:0036)

bus: 3, vendor/product: 15c2:0036, version: 0x0003

Again all key codes defined in: /usr/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_pad

work completely. I just need to get XBMC to understand the "missing" buttons so that I can use the remote to its full capability.
