- slux - 2010-09-11 @horscht: How do you start hama_mce binary? I don't use the udev.rules of the post.(they doesn't work on my system) I just put (copy) hama_mce in /usr/sbin and this in rc.local Code: /usr/sbin/hama_mce & the '&' character says: go in background and go on. it should start faster now. @ernie: delete the udev hama_mce.rule in /etc/udev/rules.d delete the /usr/sbin/hama_mce that's all - Horscht - 2010-09-11 ill give that a shot. EDIT: I did a "make install", I don't know how hama_mce is started... it's not in my rc.local - slux - 2010-09-11 It's started in the udev.rule,when is plugged the remote.That's why I need to put it in rc.local.I don't use the udev rule Do only make (not make install).Then copy manually the binary in /usr/sbin - Horscht - 2010-09-11 yes, that worked awesome. removed the udev rule and put it in rc.local nice! - slux - 2010-09-11 cheers friend!! - Horscht - 2010-09-11 Nice, thanks again for your help. Is it possible to remap the buttons to my liking? I assume I can use the hama_mce.xml file and edit that, put it in ~/.xbmc/keymaps, but how do I find out what commands the event server sends to XBMC? - slux - 2010-09-11 I'm not sure,I didn't try it yet.I've fixed the remote at 1:00 am lol You can try to start hama_mce manually(with sudo) in console and press the remote keys,you should see some output. - Horscht - 2010-09-11 again, you provided usefull input. Unfirtunatelly, hama_mce seems to sebd "XBMC-Ready" commands like "XBMC.ActivateWindow(HOME)", which I obviously can't remap in XBMC itself... gonna find a decent way to get it to remap, though EDIT: looks like one has to modify the source code (hama_mce.cpp) to remap the buttons. line 102 onwards has the keymaps, obviously. Gonna fiddle with that, then recompile - slux - 2010-09-11 yes the trick is to modify the source,not very handy,but doable.Good work.The power of open source - fyfe - 2010-09-14 I've uploaded an updated version. It contains a few bug fixes and allows you to remap all the keys via keymaps.xml - slux - 2010-09-14 I'm speechless!!!You did an awesome job!Thanks again for your work!This guy needs to see his work in official Xbmc code! - Horscht - 2010-09-14 wow, great effort. I really appreciate it - h.udo - 2010-09-14 fyfe, First preliminary tests indicates that your hama_mce event reader works far better than lirc with this particular remote. Thanks for a great work! 2 points do: - I noticed some sluggishness responding to key presses _sometimes_ Most of the time it works quite well. Aldo a tad slow for me... - Is there any particular reason buttons play and pause are mapped to the same event (pause)? Or it's my bad and remote.xml, keymap.xml, whatever.xml is to blame? Thanks! hudo - Juanjo - 2010-09-15 hi peeps, i have been using this hama_mce tool, I had the problem of the power button repeating itself, so after resuming from suspend (power button) it would suspend again . so i patched the code, in one line. if anyone has this problem let me know ill post the fix. - Horscht - 2010-09-15 Juanjo Wrote:hi peeps, i have been using this hama_mce tool, I had the problem of the power button repeating itself, so after resuming from suspend (power button) it would suspend again . so i patched the code, in one line. if anyone has this problem let me know ill post the fix.
