Lirc works, XBMC does not - kischsuppe - 2014-07-10

Hi, there. I am running XBMC 13.1 (f2acae7) Gotham on an Intel NUC and XBMCbuntu . Until yet I use the iOS RC software and I am quite happy with that. But when it’s dark I prefer a remote with physical buttons. That’s why I read quit a lot tutorials and documentation about Lirc, XBMC and the involved config files.
Lirc seems to work, but I cannot control XBMC using my RC.

My progress so far:
irw shows the expected output (I named my remote pioneer):

Code:
00000000f50a4fb0 00 KEY_UP pioneer

00000000c53a9966 00 KEY_DOWN pioneer

00000000c53a9966 00 KEY_LEFT pioneer

00000000c53a9966 00 KEY_RIGHT pioneer

my xbmc.log knows about my button presses:

Code:
16:30 T:140603647997888   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 674076:00000000f50a4fb0 00 KEY_UP pioneer (KEY_UP)

16:30 T:140603647997888   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 675019:00000000c53a9966 00 KEY_DOWN pioneer (KEY_DOWN)

16:36 T:140603647997888   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 680837:00000000c53a9966 00 KEY_LEFT pioneer (KEY_LEFT)

my \~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml looks like this:

Code:
<lircmap>

<remote device="pioneer">

<power>KEY_POWER</power>

<enter>KEY_ENTER</enter>

<left>KEY_LEFT</left>

<right>KEY_RIGHT</right>

<up>KEY_UP</up>

<down>KEY_DOWN</down>

<back>KEY_BACK</back>

<info>KEY_INFO</info>

<play>KEY_PLAY</play>

<pause>KEY_PAUSE</pause>

<stop>KEY_STOP</stop>

<reverse>KEY_REWIND</reverse>

<forward>KEY_FORWARD</forward>

<skipplus>KEY_NEXT</skipplus>

<skipminus>KEY_PREVIOUS/<skipminus>

<menu>KEY_HOME</menu>

</remote>

</lircmap>

my \~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml looks like this. To keep it simple I only configured left and right. I expect left and right to be working within XBMC's home screen.

Code:
<keymap>

  <global>

    <remote>

      <left>Left</left>

      <right>Right</right>

    </remote>

  </global>

</keymap>

Thank you for your hints. If you need more information, I can provide lircd.conf and hardware.conf, too.

RE: Lirc works, XBMC does not - black_eagle - 2014-07-10

Code:
<left>Left</left>

<right>Right</right>

Should be (at least in my keymap)

Code:
<left>left</left>

<right>right</right>

Also is this a typo here, or actually in your Lircmap.xml ?

Code:
<skipminus>KEY_PREVIOUS/<skipminus>

Could be upsetting the parsing of the file.

With one look you spotted the problem. Thank you. A tiny slash broke my config!
I spend more than 6 hours to look for the problem.
