Hi all,
All though I am new to the community I have been reading everything I can and I must say XBMC is awsome I was able to do the live install in my HD flawlessly but man this remote stuff seems so hard. By reading it looks like Lirc would be the way to go but what I cannot find is the perfect combo for remote and receiver. I have purchase this item and I am wondering if it was a waste. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...K:MEWNX:IT
I can see the IR light go off when pressing any button but using irw there is nothing displayed. If someone can post a link to a receiver that is known to work it would be great. I do have mutiple choices for remotes including a Logitec Harmony but the receiver that came with the above item does not seem to capture anything in irw unless I am missing something and I need to configure the ir receiver somewhere.
Please someone help me get some sleep thanks,
