Hi,
I have a remote for my Revo running XBMC Live and most buttons work, however 'Select' and 'Enter' do not, which obviously means I can't navigate menus! A bit of a pain. Is there any way to check what codes are being received - to map the buttons?
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks for the reply.
I tried it and found the button codes, but how do I find how these correspond to the remote.xml file? The 'select' button did not work, so I changed it to 'OK', which is what irw said was the code, but still no luck.
Also, remote.xml uses 'info', which works, while irw says this button is called 'More', so I was wondering if there is another way of deciphering?? I have not yet tried to see if 'More' works as well, but if remote.xml considers the button to be 'info', can it have two codes?
Any ideas?
Mark
To match a key on the remote to a function in XBMC the file you are looking for is Lircmap.xml under /home/<username>/.xbmc/userdata
Thanks! That makes sense! Will give it a go..
That makes far more sense. 'More' is indeed mapped to 'info', but 'OK' is mapped to 'select', as required. However, this means it just isn't working. If it is correctly setup in Lircmap.xml and remote.xml, why else might this not be working?
Has anyone got any suggestions here?
Lircmap.xml is case sensitive, is More and OK correct? You can check with irw.
Yes, it is correctly spelt and with the correct case. Should be working..!? Is there anything else that can affect it?
I have had a little further investigation, in case anyone can help..
I have looked at the debug logs and got this..

So, the OK key is detected ok. Also, if I swap the functions in Lircmap.xml for Play and OK, it all works. But when the buttons are correctly assigned, it doesn't
Is there any other way of testing not just that the button is received, but how it is interpreted?
Thanks,
Mark
Key 11 is "select" on the remote, and Action 18 is "fullscreen". Check your keymap to see how this is eventuating.
That was it! It now works perfectly.
I downloaded the remote.xml from the SVN tagged with Camelot, replaced the newer one restarted and voila.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the translation. Not sure why it is doing that, but I will look into it!
jmarshall, sorry just saw that. Looks like that may have sorted it!
It was working a while ago, then I made some bad changes so downloaded the remote.xml file from the xbmc wiki. Must have been never than the xbmc I have! All sorted now!
Many thanks!
