I'm trying to control XBMC via CEC (over HDMI connection), ie, using TV remote control. It is working only partially, when I run XBMC as app from LXDE (Wheezy). If I run XBMC as desktop environment from login screen, the CEC is handled correctly.
Maybe it's the XBMC version problem. Settings > System > Input devices peripherals menu has only two items:
- Remote control sends keyboard presses (enabled)
- Enable mouse and Touch Screen support (enabled)
System Info shows me my XBMC version is 12.0, I'm launching it as app from Raspbian Wheezy (Linux 3.6.11 kernel).
The problem is, the arrow buttons on the control appear not to be handled by XBMC. In some previous versions they used to be. But what's funny, the "Play" and "Stop" buttons do browse media folders and stop playing, respectively.
I'm not sure how to debug this problem - where could I check if the signal has reached XBMC at all.
Also, I have never got the Back button working, and Menu button is persistently handled by TV itself. Perhaps I should find out what button presses reach XBMC at all, and then do some mapping to implement those missing functions (Back, Home) - but how do I do that?
