I ran some test today. I can't sleep with unanswered questions running around in my mind
We've pretty much confirmed
- ps3d.py not working on 9.04.
- bdremoted not working on 9.04 (full, in my case)
So i went for Hardy 8.04 release. Installed libbluetooth, compiled bdremote.
It worked on the first try.
So i'm pretty sure ps3d.py would also work on Hardy. But now i've got another problem. Apparently the ppa's for hardy have no VPDAU. So that's not doing my ION any good..!
ps3d.py:
pair it
then wait. wait etc.. nothing connects on pairing, or button presses.
It still hangs on "client, addr = self._sock.accept ()" loop.
After all these actions, simply running bdremoted as before still works. Remote is detected again, and can be used w/o problems.
Next tests: Try xbmc live 9.04 and see what happens..
