I have been trying set up my Rosewill rhrc-11001 remote in xbmcbuntu beta 2 but cant get it to recognize in ir-keytable or irw. The ir receiver shows up as Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.

Code:

xbmc@xbmc-htpc:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 147a:e042 Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Wireless Mouse M305

dmesg outupt http://paste.ubuntu.com/1421886/

ir-keytable shows this with or without lirc installed.

Code:

xbmc@xbmc-htpc:~$ ir-keytable
Couldn't find any node at /sys/class/rc/rc*.

I have tried setting up lirc using the windows media center remote (all) but still irw doesn't recognize any key inputs.

Thanks for any help with getting this to work.

lsmod will show which remote drivers are loaded What you have is Formosa21 eHome Infrared Transceiver

try using this.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:MCERemote

Its in System/Settings -> Add-ons -> Programs -> MCERemote

MCERemote is not showing in the repo for me. I updated to beta 3 and still not showing. I tried installing from the .zip you posted in this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=147397 but it says addon does not have the correct structure.

Here is the lsmod output

http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/frodo/plu...mceremote/ < that the one for frodo.

I think with lirc installed and the correct modifications to the lirc.conf file this has some chance (similar to ones on my signature but for your hardware). The addon is first choice because it handles all this automatically, though there was a bug fix for addons only yesterday.

try that anyway .

That one says the same thing addon does not have the correct structure. Should I wait for the addon to be fixed or go ahead with lirc?

[un1versal]

I think you should try Lirc

if it is already installed try

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc

Important selections on both screens.

Remote control configuration:
Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)
IR transmitter, if present:
None

If this doesn't work we will be looking at this http://frankhjung.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03...r3700.html

It is a little old but still valid information/instructions and checks that can be ran to ensure everything is ok.

I'm getting stuck on installing the module source.

Code:

xbmc@xbmc-htpc:~$ sudo apt-get install lirc-modules-source
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Package lirc-modules-source is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  lirc

E: Package 'lirc-modules-source' has no installation candidate

[un1versal]

Code:

Lirc installs those, when

need to find the key for it

lsusb -v | grep -E '\<(Bus|iProduct|bDeviceClass|bDeviceProtocol|idVendor|idProduct)' 2>/dev/null

then when you have your string must double check is its part of http://frankhjung.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03...r3700.html

and make the whole thing work but it must be adapted to your system.

Just be creative the information is here and that other post.

[shaggyz9]

The key is 0xe042 but I don't know where to put it. No lirc in /usr/src/.

It works if I do this found here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28904 but it doesn't stay after reboot

Code:

echo 147a e042 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mceusb/new_id

[un1versal]

Yey Victory

Yes its clearly incomplete there's no device name attached to idProduct 0xe042 either (badly written drivers.)

Well definitely a good find and a testament that perseverance wins the day.

If everything is working this can be marked up as solved now.
