Using remote in external app
#1
Hiya all ....

I finally got my ebay cheapo remote working. Had to add it to the mceusb.c and rebuild the module, but now, XBMC recognizes all my remote's buttons. Yehaa ! Being a Linux noob, it was quiet the learning path, but I was successful.

Now, I use the Advanced Launcher to run TVTime. I wanted to connect my Bell sattelite receiver to my XBMC installation. I tried using the TVHeadend and the PVR addons, but they wouldn't recognize my capture card. However, TVTime works fine.

TVTime has an associated .lirc file that allows one to control TVTime with a remote. My question is, "How do I set up the .lirc file to work from the Advanced Launcher?". Currently, XBMC seems to queue up all the remote button presses and executes them once I leave the application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Greg
