Regarding the issue where the remote volume keys don't repeat, which is apparently an OS-level bug as XBMC doesn't do the repeating itself but relies on the OS to handle this, I wonder if this workaround for Ubuntu can be used with OE? I'm not sure if my Emprex remote uses those keycodes though and lircmap.xml shows:

<volumeplus>KEY_VOLUMEUP</volumeplus>
<volumeminus>KEY_VOLUMEDOWN</volumeminus>

Code:

I had a similar problem with a Microsoft MCE remote clone on Ubuntu 12.04 and XBMC 12.3. For anyone who's interested, a simple workaround is to redefine the remote's volume up and down buttons using xmodmap, and then change XBMC's keymaps accordingly. For example, enter the following in ~/.Xmodmap:

keycode 122 = F13
keycode 123 = F14

and the following in ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <f13>VolumeDown</f13>
      <f14>VolumeUp</f14>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>
