Hi I just switched to XBMC from VMC and it's so much better, glad to be rid of MS on all my computers now.
With that being said there's a couple things I still need to get working - I have googled and searched the forums but couldn't quite find an answer. I'm not sure this is the correct forum for these questions but ....
I have a MythTV backend set up on my fileserver (finally, MythTV was easily one of the fussiest pieces of software I've ever dealt with). I can stream TV and change channels with the built-in myth://. What I am wondering is which is better at this point, the built-in myth:// or the Python script I've been reading about? What are the pros/cons for each right now? And also which is the best way to get TV guide data working in XBMC?
Ok now I have my MCE remote working fine (ver2 Phillips) but I much prefer my XBOX 360 Universal DVD Remote control. I had it working in VMC as the USB receiver works for both remotes but I can't seem to get the receiver to pick anything up from the X360 remote in Ubuntu. I tried downloading an lirc.conf file from http://lircconfig.commandir.com/lircd.co...remote=337 for the X360 remote but when I set it up and run irw, it doesn't pick up any input. Can anyone point me in the right direction of how I can get Ubuntu to get data from this remote? I have no problem mapping the keys out or something like that I just don't know where to start.
Thanks!
