RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - sirkingchase - 2013-02-13 Anyone that comes across this, I solved it by editing /etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce change 0x800f0422 KEY_OK 0x800f0423 KEY_EXIT to 0x800f0422 KEY_ENTER 0x800f0423 KEY_BACK IN THERE! No screwing around with lirc. For more information and detail, I got it from http://kisdigital.wordpress.com/tag/archlinux/ RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - cw-kid - 2013-04-29 Hi Nice guide! I followed a similar one to get the MCE remote working without LIRC etc. Using this type of setup with ir-keytable, how do you add new custom buttons ? Other than what is already listed in the rc6_mce file or in my case the imon_mce file. More details here. Thanks I am using the rc6_mce keymap file on a HTPC upstairs in my bedroom. This is my modified keymap file if it helps anyone? I found I had to change things like KEY_OK to KEY_ENTER and KEY_FASTFORWARD to KEY_F etc for things to start working, used the keyboard shortcuts here. I also had to edit the keyboard.xml in some places, for example to get the DVD button on the MCE remote to open the Videos library in XBMC I had to do this: rc6_mce keymap:- Rename KEY_DVD to KEY_F6 0x800f0424 KEY_F6 #DVD button - F6 ShowVideoMenu keyboard.xml:- Add a new line in to the keyboard.xml file <F6>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles)</F6> <!-- MCE DVD menu --> You can see the list of all Actions you can use in the keyboard.xml file here. Code: # table rc6_mce, type: RC6 RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - cw-kid - 2013-04-29 Also anyone using a Logitech Harmony remote in MCE mode and got the discrete PowerOn / PowerOff commands working? Would love to hear how you get that working. Only PowerToggle works which is not as reliable. Cheers RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - C4Vette - 2014-02-04 Old topic, I know but it really helped me. @cw-kid: I use a Harmony One and can only use PowerToggle but that has nothing to do with the remote. It is how my HTPC, an AsRock ION 3D 152d, works. Maybe youre PC is also like that. @wstewart (if you are still around) Thanks! This works so much better than lirc. I have been anoyed be the unresponsiveness of my remote for two years and thanks to you I'm a happy camper now Running Ubuntu 12.04.4 lts and XBMC 12.3 RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - brian47 - 2014-07-31 For anyone interested I got period and comma working with the rc6_mce keymap, by reassigning the following two keys 0x800f041a KEY_DOT # Skip Next 0x800f041b KEY_COMMA # Skip Previous The period was the tricky one, because "KEY_PERIOD" was not recognized by ir-keytable as valid. It wasn't until I looked into the include/uapi/linux/input.h and saw that PERIOD was actually DOT. Then it worked. RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - Kowalsky - 2014-08-14 ..

As you may know, many of the LIRC drivers have been migrated into the kernel. This how-to is based on a few others: Man, KUDOS and a HUGE THANKS for this post. After several upgrades to kodi-alpha my MCE remote stopped working. I had a feeling the team might have ditched Lirc, and as soon as I killded the lirc daemon, some of the keys on remote started working... others (OK., BACK) have not. Thanks to you, I now have removed LIRC completely and after a reboot it all stays persistent. Again, huge KUDOS for writing this post!!! I hope you'll get my thanks. And if you drink beer, I could send you some over PayPal. This is how grateful I am. RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - kees667 - 2015-01-11 So does this guide still apply to Kodi? Just moved from openelec to Kodi, remote works out of the box (Harmony, HP MCE receiver, Asrock 330) but I can't wakeup after suspend using remote any longer. RE: [Linux] HOW-TO MCE Remote WITHOUT LIRC (Natty) - taorn - 2016-03-13 Thanks a lot for your helpfull post!!! I'd just tunned my remote and works fine thanks to your guide!!

It's oldish but still current Much better then lirc instructions. I have a quck question to people using Harmony remote: How do you set it in Logitech software? I have Harmony 650 and set as Windows Media Center SE. I got 95% of buttons working but 4 are stubborn: MENU, EXIT and SKIP_NEXT (I guess, below FF) and SKIP_PREV (below REV). How did you make them working? Thanks!!! |
