I can follow directions well but have no idea how to troubleshoot this stuff. Are you guys saying the newest nightly build of Openelec Gotham works with the IR sensor and remotes? Should I just do the stable release for now and paste the code I saw into some script somehow? Is there a total noob tutorial on this?

Start with the stable release and follow http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Autostart.sh to create a startup script with the following:

Code:

#!/bin/sh


# Work around NUC CIR issue
# see http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=176718&page=17 and
# https://communities.intel.com/thread/46259 for more information

modprobe -r nuvoton-cir
echo "auto" > /sys/bus/acpi/devices/NTN0530\:00/physical_node/resources
modprobe nuvoton-cir


# set RGB full range

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"

The first part should get your IR working, second part is only needed if your blacks are gray.

I needed the same with nightly build too.

I'm running a Mint 15 install with full desktop vs OE, has anyone gotten the remote working with just basic Lirc? I've done the commands above but my MCE remote isn't being recognized by XBMC or irw. Been a ong time since I've had to troubleshoot Lirc issues so I'd appreciate some assistance - I selected MCE during the Lirc install but suspect that's nowhere near correct for this beasty. If I must I'll slap an MCE receiver on it temporarily but would prefer to get the internal one working.

I've not yet tackled sound but suspect I'll have fun with that as well based upon past experiences - fingers crossed I'm wrong. Ne sense moving it to the living room until I've got remote control of it though!


P.S. Argh! I reinstalled Lirc, selecting the same parameters, and ran this script from a terminal window via Sudo. It works! Quite frustrating to not be sure why but I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth - my thanks to the script writer!
