configure MCE remote colored buttons: Blue , Red , Yellow , Green
#1
so i am looking to configure these buttons.

I have it set up that pressing Ctrl+Alt+x will launch XBMC how can I duplicate those commands to my MCE remotes "Blue" button.

I've had a hell of a time just trying to get the remote set up, but all other buttons work expect for those colored one.

I have Ebay purchased MCE RC6 receiver and I set my Monster Cable remote up as an MCE remote .

The following is what I used for Mythbuntu 10.04.

Edit your lircrc file located in your home folder by adding the action for your button. Use irw from the terminal to see what the name is displayed as and copy it exactly.

begin
remote = mceusb
button = Green
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /home/ken/scripts/startxbmc.sh
end

Create a script to load XBMC. Below is mine which I found somewhere in the forum.

#!/bin/bash

# Test to see if XBMC is running first
if ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep -i xbmc.bin
then
# Do nothing
echo "XBMC already Running!"
else
# Startup XBMC
xbmc
fi
exit

Make the above file executable using chmod +x
If not already done you'll have to set irexec to load on system startup. I think that's all I did but if not I'm sure someone else will correct me.
Mythbuntu doesn't need viruses - we have Sudo
