What's the ritual I have to perform to get Intervideo XPC-RC01 remote to work?
When I tried xbmc on Fedora14, it worked out of the box...
In Fedora case, it's recognized as a real keyboard/mouse, so the basic keys (up/down/etc.) work as-is
Notes to self:
* F14 dmesg:
* XBMC Live dmesg:
* Trying fake lirc from http://mathema.tician.de/node/416
** existing libhid is too old (0.2.15)
** prebuilt packages from the page rely on python2.4 (too old)
WORKING SOLUTION:
* Download and build libhid from http://libhid.alioth.debian.org/ :
# apt-get remove libhid0 python-hid libhid-dev
# apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake1.9 libtool libusb-dev xsltproc docbook-xsl swig python-dev doxygen
...
* Install http://mathema.tician.de/dl/software/xpc.../lircd-xpc (need to do a few minor script alterations to get it to work)
* create Lircmap.xml and restart XBMC
Sweet!
Fedora 16 notes:
* yum install libhid-python (currently 0.2.17-6)
* in lircd-xpc -- change import to "from libhid import hidwrap"
