Hi Guys,
I have to admit I'm totally new to XBMC but have spent the last 2 days catching up.
I've used Media Centre streamers for years but hate the interfaces and frankly XBMC looks sweet. But I continued using my 360 because of the speed and I didn't want the complication of messing with an old Xbox, but now I see Live it intrigues me.
So I'm thinking of setting up an EEE PC running XBMC Live for quicker boot ups and without the drag of Windows.
Can I get a PS3 Bluetooth remote to works with it or is it just MCE remotes?
I know you can with Windows and Linux versions but not so sure with the embedded OS version.

to complement the information, all supported lirc modules are available on XBMC Live.
Place a working lircd.conf and hardware.conf in a folder called "config" on the the Live USB disk and you should be on business. If not, open a ticket...

Stickied it because it's quite usefull information in this thread.
Also other supported remotes in a similair way as PS3 are all the eventclients:
sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclient-wiiremote
sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclient-j2me

1: bluetooth deamon is default not installed, should i install it
2: after running the script (xbmc-ps3remote), i got the following error:
File "/usr/bin/xbmc-ps3remote", line 26, in <module>
from xbmcclien.t import *
ImportError: No module named xbmcclien.t
Thanks for your help

Hmm, can you try
sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclients-common
If that is installed I will have to look through the code, but I don't have a PS3 remote so I can't really try it.

Hi Topfs2
the xbmc-eventclients-common is already installed.
I was pairing the Logitech Dinovo mini, and it is working OK,
but the PS3 remote would be nicer.
So, another idea ?
Thanks a lot for your help
regards

Should i do in the /etc/init.d or somwhere else ?
Thanks

I know that MCE USB2 remotes work out of the box and that its possoble to use some others with some tweaking. But I was wondering....
What remotes are people actually using already?
I think some makes, models and links would help alot of people and stop alot of questions.

The Philips SRM 5100 works out of the box on the XBMC Live Atlantis 1 & 2, except for the buttons:
1) Recorded TV
2) Guide
3) Live TV
4) DVD Menu
I thought I could fix this buy enabling <displayremotecodes> setting in advancedsettings.xml and then creating a custom Keymap.xml. Except I read that <displayremotecodes> only actually works on X-BOX.
These four buttons work under Ubuntu -> IRW gives me the commands,
1) RecTV
2) Guide
3) LiveTV
4) DVD
Any ideas on how to make them work under XBMC Live?
