This can be very easy one but I simply can't solve it. I'm trying to configure my setup (lirc and Lircmap.xml) and I did the job quite fast but I can't get osd button to work with my Logitech universal remote. Everything else works just the way I wanted. I have checked that irw can read the data when I press the button but XBMC does not open the OSD menu.

Of course I can still use the Android remote control but it's not as fancy as using "real" remote control Laugh

The setup is very very simple:

lircd.conf

Code:

Can you help me with the problem?

Bump.

As far as I'm aware there is no "osd" button defined within <remote>. You're possibly after <menu>.

Yes, it's Menu. Not using LIRC myself, but my Live install responds with OSD when pressing Menu (after some fixing with the Harmony, which initially did not even have the command).

Not sure if anything pops up on the screen, but it looks like the OSD menu is different in Eden than it was in Dharma. On Dharma, it would popup where you can change the audio subtitles and stuff at the top of the screen. With Eden, it's in the lower-right hand corner of the screen where you get to choose it. You also get some additional info with the OSD.

That's funny.. I'm sure that I already tried <menu>. Now I tried it again and it works Big Grin

Maybe I messed up something the last time.

And now for (hopefully) the last problem I have with XBMC.. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=125656

lol.... I want to say that when I first tried Eden, the "menu" button just exited the player. I then started messing with the lircmap, couldn't figure it out, tried it again, and it showed the osd menu.
