Linux MCE Remote config
#1
I,

I'm using such remote:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HP_MCE_Remote

(newer version) and it works fine, except the 2 missing keys. I guess that the .reg patch only applies under windows. Is it possible to make them work under linux too?

thanks,
Frédéric

The problem is at a lower level: lirc does not send any keycode for these 2 keys (Print an T)... So, nothing above can work.

The link I gave says:

"With the Remote-XBMC.reg config all the buttons work in XBMC except for the "T" and "Print" buttons. To configure these buttons add the following to the .reg file:

4E,00,00,00,04,01,22,\ ; Print button on HP remote - sends ctrl-5
5A,00,00,00,04,01,23,\ ; T button on HP remote - sends ctrl-6"

But AFAIK, it only works under windows. Am I wright? Is it possible to do the same under linux? Does it need some patch in lirc, or so?

reg files are windows only.

enable debug logging, press the buttons and check the log if XBMC sees the keypress. If it does you just map it to the action you want.

As I said, even lirc does not see anything (checked with irw)...

I don't understand how the reg file can activate these keys, under windows. Why lirc does not see any code?
