Hi All,
I am new to XBMC, and love it, but am having a lot of trouble getting a lirc remote working.
I have lirc set up and working in other programs like freevo ..
My lack of understanding is how the key names I have in my lircd.conf are translated to xbmc. Normally in other programs you make a lircrc file with all the mappings.
I understand with XBMC that you put a Lircmap.xml file in /home/user/.xbmc/userdata. I did that, the file looks like this.
The names in the middle are what my lircd.conf calls them i.e
And then there is the keymap.xml file, just to add to the confusion. Do I have to make a custom one of those?
How does xbmc listen to the lirc commands?
Is there a way to make xbmc output some debugging so I can see if anything is being received.
Many Thanks,
B.
