Not getting lirc to work with xmbc - Juge - 2011-10-30 I am running a mythbuntu on my living room PC but I got interested in trying out xmbc. I got it installed and everything, but I do not get the remote to respond. I have the remote running with mythtv and lirc and I get all the responses with irw, but with xmbc no luck. here is my Lircdata.xml <lircmap> <remote device="TT_S-1500"> <down>Down</down> <ok>Ok</ok> <left>Left</left> <right>Right</right> <up>Up</up> </remote> </lircmap> then I have tried files under keymap (remote.xml) and now directly under userdata (keymap.xml) depending on instructions. File looks like that: <keymap> <global> <remote> <up>Up</up> <down>Down</down> <ok>Select</ok> <left>Left</left> <right>Right</right> </remote> </global> </keymap> with irw I get: $ irw 0000000000001551 00 Down TT_S-1500 0000000000001551 01 Down TT_S-1500 0000000000001551 02 Down TT_S-1500 000000000000154d 00 Up TT_S-1500 000000000000154d 01 Up TT_S-1500 000000000000154d 02 Up TT_S-1500 0000000000001550 00 Right TT_S-1500 0000000000001550 01 Right TT_S-1500 000000000000154e 00 Left TT_S-1500 000000000000154e 01 Left TT_S-1500 000000000000154f 00 Ok TT_S-1500 So what am I doing wrong? - boosted - 2011-11-01 For some reason I can only get my 'Lircmap.xml' to work if it's in '/usr/share/xbmc/system' - Juge - 2011-11-01 No such luck for me - not even that way. Now back to basics which files do I need. Some instructions say Remote.xml under ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps some say keymap.xml directly under ~/.xbmc/userdata Then there is Lircmap.xml under ~/.xbmc/userdata I also have .lircrc for mythtv - did not bother to remove that can't I just add my stuff there? - Juge - 2011-11-06 Ok, got it to work - I went over to universal remote format... - odoll - 2011-11-06 Quote:I went over to universal remote format I'd appreciate, if you could explain a bit more in detail what you mean with this. For weeks I'm struggling to get an XBMC Live system, which I cloned over from an ASRock ION330HT to an ASRock ION330 (w/o built-in IR), working with an attached IR built in a Terratec Cinergy T2 DVB-T USD-Stick and it's companioned remote. Though I think I got the LIRC config straight with the graceful support of a guy in a German Ubuntu User Forum still only a few buttons are working. Code: xbox@XBMCLive:~$ irw only a few (up/down/left/right/mute) buttons interact with XBMC. (Even more strange: when the LIRC config was still set up for the original ASRock Nuvoton remote, I could already used the above buttons) |
