I am not a linux geek.
I am reading how to use a PS3 remote in linux.
Code:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=60713&highlight=bdremoteng
Can i use it in live?
Is it there a simple tutorial?
Should i instal linux to use it?
I too would be VERY interested in it. Maybe this could be a start where all the configuration and hardware is laid out for all.
i use it. it's brilliant.
takes about 5 mins to setup on live.
i use the wiki page and my own config. I made my own config, because, and I'm not slagging off whoever made it, but the one on the wiki/default one is rubbish.
wiki -
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._BD_Remote
my config, input.conf -
Code:
# Configuration file for the input service
# This section contains options which are not specific to any
# particular interface
[General]
# Set idle timeout (in seconds) before the connection will
# be disconnect (defaults to 0 for no timeout)
IdleTimeout=120
# This section contains options that are specific to a device
[00:00:00:00:00:00]
#
# Set a custom idle timeout (in seconds) for this specific device
#IdleTimeout=30
# This section is the PS3 Remote keymap. It is loaded when bluez starts.
# Use 'uinput.h' from bluez sources or '/usr/include/linux/input.h' for
# a list of possible KEY_* values.

If you still have trouble, I'll post a guide on friday evening (about 48 hours from now). i dont have the time or energy to do it before then.
THANKS for the info!!!
I was coming home thinking to reinstal windows just to use a BD remote.
I will give it a try
I read that, but i thought that was meant for linux
I stopped at bluez installation
Which BT dongles work? Pretty much any? I'll go out and get one once I hear back and try this myself.
i had no luck
Again, i am not a linux geek.
I sent most commands through putty, changed some permission with sudo chmod 777, but no luck for a beginner (in linux).
