My remote control worked with xbmcbuntu right out the box. Installed XBMCbuntu and the remote worked. No questions asked.
I was watching a TV show just then and by the end my remote control didn't work. Nothing responds at all.
What advice can you offer?
Hi there, i have the same problem, have reported this, and i guess its related to this:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=122805
Only thing that have helped me is to reboot. I think its related to a bug in the lirc version.
regards Alf Tonny Bätz
I am not using lirc, I have never installed it.
Also rebooting doesn't fix the issue.
Oo my bad. Obviously XBMC comes with LIRC integrated.
So updated my lirc.conf file in /etc/lirc/ and then tested irw. I got responses in the terminal.
After confirming that worked I made a lircmap.xml file (there wasn't one before)
That looks like this:
Code:
<lircmap>
<remote device="vista_mce">
<XBMC_button>LIRC_button</XBMC_button>
...
</remote>
</lircmap>
Still nothing works. What could be the problem?
UPDATE:
I now have the remote working again. Sort of...
The OK button doesn't work!
Quite an important one. I checked the LIRC.conf file and OK isn't mapped. How do I find out the hex value to put into the lirc.conf file for OK?
The whole device seems to function entirely differently now. Think something big has changed.
such as:
Now when I press a button there is a slight delay before the response on screen. If I shorten the "gap" in the LIRC.conf file then it double presses everything.
I can no longer use my remote to type words and letters. Before I could go into my tv shows and press "6" 3 times to skip straight to the "O" section. That does not work any more.
I my reinstall XMBCbuntu from scratch and see if I get functionality back.
If I do I will back up some files for later use if it breaks again.
I have already done that as there was no lircmap.xml
wirc also shows the delay so that it to do with the xml.
Anyone able to fix this yet?
I have tried installing XBMCbuntu from scratch again. No joy. Such a shame this remote is now useless.
LIRC cannot configure it to work properly at all
Which remote control is it (make/model or provide a link to a picture of it)?
