It maybe help some of you. Here is my LIRC and XBMC configuration to use the AsRock Vision 3D default MCE remote controller with XBMC under ArchLinux (it will be surely similar with under other Linux distributions).

AsRock Vision 3D remote controller:



You need first to install the lirc package :

Code:

pacman -S lirc

Then, you need to modify the /etc/lirc/lirc.conf file with the right parameters:

Code:

# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <[email protected]>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.9.0(default) on Sun Oct 23 13:16:30 2011
#
# contributed by
#
# brand:                       /tmp/my_remote.conf
# model no. of remote control:
# devices being controlled by this remote:

end remote

Next, you need to add (or modify) the ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml file :

Code:

<!-- This file contains the mapping of LIRC keys to XBMC keys used in Keymap.xml  -->
<!--                                                                              -->
<!-- How to add remotes                                                           -->

<!-- <XBMC_COMMAND>LircButtonName</XBMC_COMMAND>                                  -->
<!--                                                                              -->
<!-- For a list of XBMC_COMMAND's check out the <remote> sections of keymap.xml   -->

</lircmap>

Then, you will need to edit the /etc/rc.local file and add this following line to run lirc every time you boot:

Code:

echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols

Finally, to launcher LIRC at boot, you will need to add lircd as daemon into the /etc/rc.conf file.
