Can't get remote working Ubuntu 11.10

Hi,

Asus MyCinema P7131 Remote, Ubuntu 11.10, xbmc eden

/etc/lirc/hardware.config
Quote:# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
REMOTE="Asus MyCinema P7131"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:03:01.0-event-ir"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="asus/mycinema.conf"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

Condensed map:
Quote:<lircmap>
<remote device="Asus MyCinema P7131">
<left>Left</left>
</remote>
</lircmap>

Saved file in:
$HOME/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

With no luck..

Also tried:
$HOME/.xbmc/userdata/Keymap.xml

Quote:blade@blade:~$ irw
0000000080010069 00 Left lirc.conf

What can I do to get this working?

Thanks

It's just a matter of remote name mismatch.

You shoud edit your /etc/lirc/asus/mycinema.conf file and modify the line which starts with the "name" keyword so it looks like:
Code:
name "Asus MyCinema P7131"
Restart lircd and check with irw, it shoud report:
Code:
0000000080010069 00 Left Asus MyCinema P7131
Then, save your xbmc lircmap as $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

It should work now.

Hi cuccuizzo!

Thanks for the reply,

I don't seem to have a /etc/lirc/asus/mycinema.conf file in Lirc.

but /etc/lirc/hardware.conf says:
Quote:REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="asus/mycinema.conf"

Should I make one up with only one line?

I have a /etc/lirc/lircd.conf that says:
Quote:#Configuration for the Asus MyCinema P7131 remote:
include "/usr/share/lirc/extras/more_remotes/asus/mycinema.conf"

When I open it up:
Quote:# ASUS MyCinema P7131 Hybrid Analog/DVB TV card

begin remote

name lirc.conf
bits 16
eps 30
aeps 100

After changing it to:
Quote:name "Asus MyCinema P7131"
It works like you said...but everytime i reboot it doesnt work.
I have to do:
Quote:sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
to get it going, whys that?

Here are my files hardware.conf
http://pastebin.com/QwPkpnkG

and lircd.conf
http://pastebin.com/bwQdq4AE

Hope someone can help

If anyone has a key map for this remote please post it here.

Having trouble mapping some buttons

in $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml
a line shows:
Quote:<back>Back</back>

and irw reports:
Quote:blade@blade:~$ irw
00000000800100ae 00 Back "Asus

But it doesnt go back to the main menu when in "Movies" like a right mouse click does
