(don't know any other way) - mbu22 - 2012-02-04 Hi, I have followed your guide and have now been able to get most keys working but I am having trouble with a couple of things: 1) When I press the power button on the remote I would like the machine to suspend but it currently does nothing. 2) When I resume my machine from sleep the arrow buttons still work but the other buttons (such as OK) no longer work. If I run 'ir-keytable -t' after suspending it says "Not found device rc0". Running 'ir-keytable' seems to indicate that the device has changed from rc0 to rc1. Is there any way to get around this? Any help will be much appreciated. - Kowalsky - 2012-02-18 Hi all, This guide helped me a lot and MCE remote is working fine now except one "small" problem. VolumeUP and VolumeDown buttons are acting like PageUP and PageDown buttons. Is there a solution for this issue ? - Kowalsky - 2012-02-18 Kowalsky Wrote:Hi all, Okay I got it I'm sure this will help other people so here it goes : Everything in guide (1st post) is fine, except in my case from all those steps only installing ir-keytable and making the rc6_mce file was needed to make this working. Anyhow .... back to the volumeup&down issue ... I really have no idea why the author of the guide had this in that rc6_mce file : 0x800f0410 KEY_PAGEUP # Volume Up 0x800f0411 KEY_PAGEDOWN # Volume Down That was the problem Solution : Change those two lines to this : 0x800f0410 KEY_VOLUMEUP # Volume Up 0x800f0411 KEY_VOLUMEDOWN # Volume Down That's it, save the file and enjoy - atlemagnussen - 2012-02-28 Thanks for a brilliant guide. I have fought with LIRC for several months on two different computers, just couldn't get it right. But this worked instantly and my remote is now as responsive as it should! I have only one button not working as I'd like: the power button it practically does nothing when I press it in the XBMC main menu. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on an ASRock ION 3D When I run ir-keytable -t and press the button I get the right response: 1330376091.695521: event MSC: scancode = 800f040c 1330376091.695529: event key down: KEY_KPSLASH (0x0062) 1330376091.695530: event sync 1330376091.946235: event key up: KEY_KPSLASH (0x0062) 1330376091.946237: event sync I have copied the keyboard.xml from this guide completely. Any ideas what to look for to find what's wrong? - atlemagnussen - 2012-03-01 atlemagnussen Wrote:Thanks for a brilliant guide. I have fought with LIRC for several months on two different computers, just couldn't get it right. Nevermind. I figured it out. I had to define the key 800f040c as "KEY_END" in rc6_mce because of this definition in keyboard.xml: "<end>XBMC.ShutDown()</end>" - kxm0096 - 2012-03-02 I am a total newby and I need some help. Trying to follow this guide but I can't even pass the "run ir-keytable" command. When running the command I got the error: /sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory I have read in a different topic that it could be the issue with not recognizing the IR. However it is recognized as (lsusb): Bus 004 Device 004: ID 073a:2230 Chaplet Systems, Inc. Any advice how to get the ir-keytable running without the error would be much appreciated. Thanks RE: Some keys working some not - myxbmcworld - 2012-03-17 (2011-12-03, 00:26)djk29a Wrote: The file that is most relevant to your question is the rc6_mce file under /etc/rc_keymaps. The comments to the right are inserted by the original poster. First off; wsrewart thanks for the details! With your instructions I was able to get both OK and BACK to work. I later got Volume Up and Volume Down to work by editing keyboard.xml under <global> with: <pageup>VolumeUp</pageup> <pagedown>VolumeDown</pagedown> Looks like this worked because my HP MCE Remote sends: KEY_PAGEUP (scancode = 800f0410) KEY_PAGEDOWN (scancode = 800f0411) for the up and down arrows that are labeled as volume on the physical keys on the remote. The other two arrow keys I have look like they should be for PageUp and PageDown but when I test them with sudo ir-keytable -t it returns KEY_CHANNELUP (scancode = 800f0412) KEY_CHANNELDOWN (scancode = 800f0413) And there is no <channgelup></channelup> or <channeldown></channeldown> in keyboard.xml. I think this is because these keys do not exist on a standard keyboard. Could I just add them to keyboard.xml? What is really troubling is that I can't get NextSubtitle <l>NextSubtitle</> to work or get my MCE remote power button to bring up the shutdown menu. Currently the power button will close xbmc and the subtitle button = KEY_SUBTITLE does nothing. Even though I set them up the same as VolumeUp and VolumeDown. When I got VolumeUP and VolumeDown to work I thought I was starting to undertsand how rc6_mce and keyboard.xml work together but clearly I don't! djk29a, I also have the same entries you detailed for the ContextMenu (scancode 800f0426 KEY_EPG) but it also wont work for me. At the moment the Media Center Button (scancode 800f0426 KEY_C) does bring up the context menu. I'm also new to Linux and I feel I've done ok with your help but I'd really love some more! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all! (2012-03-02, 00:34)kxm0096 Wrote: I am a total newby and I need some help. Well, I'm a noob too but I'll suggest one thing that I bet you already did. From Terlminal type: cd ~ to get back to home. Then try your command again but add sudo (super user do): sudo ir-keytable -t You'll be prompted for your admin password and then it will execute. If not, are you sure you installed it as in wstwarts instructions from the first post?: sudo apt-get install ir-keytable penny stocks - winstonmoshe - 2012-04-03 I would like to say that this topic is really technical and nice...Thank you very much for this. penny stocks pennystocks RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - paccone - 2012-04-09 (2012-01-28, 15:00)Janiporo Wrote: Seems you can change repeat rates by: I've the same identical problem.

RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - paccone - 2012-04-14 Ok, solved installing LIRC RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - soulmedia - 2012-12-06 I have followed this and am getting everything working but the --delay and --period options on ir-keytable have no effect for me either. Anyone found a solution? RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - sirkingchase - 2013-02-13 This bug is still present. It is very annoying, I am tring to configure LIRC but I can not get irw to recognize MCEusb. IRW does nothing The kernel does recognize the MCE, but half my buttons dont work, most notably "OK" and "Back". I had this same problem before when I used Ubuntu, however I was able to get it working with LIRC. I am using Arch now and it seems alot harder to configure. I do not know what I am doing wrong. |
