Hello everyone,
I've been trying to get my Sony BD Remote to work with XBMC and have had some success but its not working as I had hoped.
I'm very new to linux and I am using a Zotac Zbox 41 with Ubuntu 11.10 with XBMC v11.0 Eden.
I have followed the wiki on how to setup the BD remote with Ubuntu and I can get it working.
My issue is that when I get the remote paired and working within XBMC it never seems to drop the bluetooth connection and after a day or 2 I end up with 2 dead AAA batteries. I've searched around on the forums and haven't been able to find a post with the same issue as me.
Below is my Input.conf from my etc/bluetooth directory, I have edited it to match the remotes address and I have the idle time out's set so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
Is there an actual key I have to press to break the connection on the remote? My appolgies if this is something that has been brought up before and I could not find it. Thanks in advance!
