I've installed an Xbox 1 remote control dongle to my Zotac using an adapter I bought off eBay. Everything seems to be working properly, except that fast forward and rewind don't work.

This is my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Code:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

#

#Chosen Remote Control

REMOTE="None"

REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_atiusb lirc_dev"

REMOTE_DRIVER=""

REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"

REMOTE_SOCKET=""

REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""

REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="-r"

#Chosen IR Transmitter

TRANSMITTER="None"

TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""

TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""

TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""

TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""

TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""

TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Enable lircd

START_LIRCD="true"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file

#START_LIRCMD="false"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules

LOAD_MODULES="true"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any

LIRCMD_CONF="lircd.conf"

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration

#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application

#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive

#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER

#It will then populate all other variables without any user input

#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure

#to leave this set to "false"

FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="true"

START_LIRCMD=""

This is my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Code:
#This configuration has been automatically generated via

# this config file was automatically generated

# using lirc-0.8.3-CVS(default) on Fri Feb  8 09:34:50 2008

When I go to the command line and test by calling irw from the command line, fast forward and rewind display properly when I press them on the remote as:
00000000000000e2 00 REWIND XboxDVDDongle
00000000000000e2 00 REWIND_UP XboxDVDDongle
00000000000000e3 00 FFWD XboxDVDDongle
00000000000000e3 00 FFWD_UP XboxDVDDongle

But in XBMC they don't appear to do anything. I tried to enable display of remotecodes by adding the following to my advancedsettings.xml but it did not appear to have any effect at all: <displayremotecodes>true</displayremotecodes>

What's the next step from here to figure out why XBMC isn't taking my fast forward and rewind presses?

Is anyone else using an Xbox 1 remote? Does everyone see this problem?

Any luck with this issue?

I'm using the XBox 1 remote. I'm almost 99/9% sure my ff/fr buttons work as expected. I'll check when I get home tonight and copy my lircd.conf for you if they do Cool

You know what. you're right. My FF/FR buttons don't work either. When I was trying it tonight I realised why I've never noticed before and that's cos I always use the arrows Up/Down = skip about 10 mins, Left/Right = skip about 30 secs. You can usually find your way to the point in the film you want with them.

I found the solution to this (or at least it worked for me)

If you alter 2 lines of your lircd.conf file from

Code:
REWIND                   0xE2

FFWD                     0xE3

to this

Code:
REVERSE                0xE2

FORWARD                0xE3

It should work nicely Big Grin
