Has anyone got the original xbox dvd dongle (usb mod)working w/ Maverick 10.10?
The way lircd is implemented has changed and the previous methods described no longer work.
More on these lirc changes here:

Fighting with this right now, and after I built a system for a friend and encouraged him to go buy a dvd dongle since it just works. That's how it always goes.
Make any progress?
I had trouble with lirc, kernel mode "mceusb", and xbmc. My work-around was to blacklist "mceusb" by: echo "blacklist mceusb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Then aptitude install lirc-modules-source
After a reboot you should see the lirc mceusb module loaded per:
lsmod|grep mceusb
lirc_mceusb 14580 1
lirc_dev 12140 3 lirc_mceusb
This put lirc back to the original way and all things have been good since. The Kernel mode driver worked but was slow and unresponsive at times. You may also have problems if your system has some how loaded both mceusb and lirc_mceusb but you can easily detect that with the above "lsmod|grep mceusb" check.
Yeah -- Saw a few posts where people got mceusb working with the new lirc. No such luck yet with the Xbox DVD Dongle (using lirc_atiusb)
I've followed the old instructions:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Lirc_Config_...DVD_Remote
Looks like lirc is loading the driver --
Code:
dmesg | grep lirc
[ 8.976616] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 8.986242] lirc_atiusb: USB remote driver for LIRC $Revision: 1.88 $

[ 8.986329] lirc_atiusb[2]: on usb7:2
[ 8.987419] usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_atiusbCode:
lsmod | grep atiusb
lirc_atiusb 13219 1
lirc_dev 9510 3 lirc_atiusb
Any other troubleshooting advice?
Or, want to let me know what MCE receiver you've got working so I can go shopping?
also looking for a solution...
No one figured out how to get this to work?
Maybe not so many people are still using the original xbox dongle any more.
Tag this thread somehow if you manage to get this to work. I'm running 10.04 now and was thinking about upgrading but without the XBOX DVD dongle support I'll wait
Im running Ubuntu 10.10 and XBMC 10.
I've made a USB to Xbox1 DVD Dongle adapter and get this output
dmesg | grep lirc
[ 14.149030] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 14.179303] lirc_atiusb: USB remote driver for LIRC $Revision: 1.88 $
[ 14.179312] lirc_atiusb: Paul Miller <pmiller9@
users.sourceforge.net>
[ 14.181675] usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_atiusb
When I run sudo mode2 for testing I get this.
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
I am trying to use a cox universal remote, using the RCA DVD Codes. Has anyone found a fix for the new lirc to get this all working? Thanks.
I'm using the Xbox DVD kit ir receiver and remote or at least trying to. I'm running XBMC 10 r35648 on top on a Ubuntu 10.10 install.
I've got it to the point where irw recognizes button presses. It responds very quickly.
XBMC doesn't respond as expected. Many buttons seem to do nothing. But some get a response for instance pressing "8" takes me to the "Video" menu, "9" the "Weather" menu. I'm not sure what to do next? Is this where others are having problems?
Quote:I've got it to the point where irw recognizes button presses
How did you go about doing that? Im attempting to see if mine recognizes the presses at all.
Yes, axionwrx!
Please share your files here!
ok, i will upload them tonight when i go back home.
Which ones do you need ?
Jason,
Just enter "irw" at a command prompt (the prompt doesn't return). Then hit some buttons on the remote. You should see a response on the terminal. I hope that's what you're asking if not please ask again.
WRXMAN,
I tried the link you provided and got the same results.
I'd like to see:
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf
/usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sheesh that's asking a lot
Thx,
Frank
