Hello I have at problem that I hope someone can help me with.
I have bout a iMON Soundgraph Station, just a USB IR Receiver and a remote.
I have it working perfectly on my Ubuntu with XBMC.
But since I also have the original Remote from the old XBOX Consol lying around I would like to be able to use that one as well.

When I use the command “irw” and see the output I only get commands from my Soundgraph remote, nothing happens when I use the Original Xbox Remote, can just s eon the LED of the receiver that it revives something.

So can someone help me with how that can be done son that I can use the same IR Receiver for both Remotes?

hardware.conf

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Soundgraph iMON Knob"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_imon"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="imon/lircd.conf.imon-knob"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""

lircd.conf

Code:

#This configuration has been automatically generated via
#the Ubuntu LIRC package maintainer scripts.
#
#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.
#
#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration
#via additional include directives or below the existing
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or
#transmitter.

#Configuration for the Soundgraph iMON Knob remote:
include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-knob"

you need to add an extra include line in the lircd.conf file pointing to the xbox remote lirc configuration file. if you don't have it on the system, you can download it:

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/microsoft/Xbox


once you add the include line and run irw you should see the codes show up.

Thanks that should have solved it.
But found out that it was the “Xbox DVD Remote” I had instead. So I tried that config but no luck.
I have then tried with the “irrecord” command to record the controls.
But each time it gives me a different output, and the most of the keys it find with the same IR code.
So I am afraid I have to give up using that remote.

perhaps the imon uses a proprietary remote code format and therefore the receiver does not recognize standard remote codes. you could test that theory with another remote. if irrecord shows similar behavior, then you may be tied to tie imon remote.
