This is driving me mad and I can't figure out why this is happening.
Ubuntu 9.04
SVN PPAs of XBMC (although this happened with most recent stable as well and I am not sure it is an XBMC issue anyway...)
After booting, my MCE remote (Hauppauge) always works fine - then stops altogether. Sometimes it works for a minute or two, sometimes it works for only a few button presses. Exiting XMBC and restarting lirc then going back into XBMC does not solve the issue. Only thing that does is a full reboot. I can tell the receiver is getting signal from the remote because the LED on the IR receiver lights with each button press. irw doesn't display any button presses in this state either (which is why I don't suspect XBMC). Normally I would suspect hardware conflicts, but this is a dedicated media PC with no other USB or serial devices...
Anyone else experience this Thanks in advance!!!
(XBMC is killer.. thanks to all!)
