This remote does NOT work out of the box with Openelec at the time of this writing.
So, Here ya go.


Create an autostart.sh file in /storage/.config/

autostart.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

killall lircd
ir-keytable -p lirc
lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 /storage/.config/lircd.conf

change /dev/lirc0 to fit your needs if its different

make it executable

Code:

chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Create an lircd.conf in /storage/.config/

lircd.conf

Code:

# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <[email protected]>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.9.0(default) on Wed Mar 26 17:55:18 2014

Copy the system user remote.xml to the keymaps directory

Code:

cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/remote.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps

Or you may find it easier to use this remote.xml

Reboot and it should be working.

Tweak Lircmap.xml and or remote.xml to suite your taste

Assuming you have a LIRC IR remote working already, Just make a backup of your lircd.conf and Lircmap.xml. Then use the two in the first post.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

If not, install LIRC and put those two files in the correct place.

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/home/the-xbmc-user/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

Sweet got it to work, now only need to figure out how to get the view button to function as context menu so it can pop up the context menu!

The menu button functions as the context menu. do you want to switch them? If so, look closely at the Lircmap.xml and you can figure it out.

I tried but nothing happens on my, the top buttons above the direction they do nothing.

Make a backup of your /home/the-xbmc-user/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

and try this one.

just curious what was different in the remote xml ?

PS: i'm now on a temp setup of openelec, will figure out to get it working on ubuntu later ...

See......LIRC is easy!

Good Job!

The directions I was giving you were for Ubuntu but you were smart enough to figure it out.

I am sure I have some sort of tweaked Lircmap.xml and remote.xml that is not quite standard. Thats why it works with the remote.xml I gave you.

To others reading this, you might want to consider using it as well (or tweak your existing one).

Oh I live for this stuff, its just that now that I have a job and full time school, I prefer not to invest time to go through and read the wiki.

I just needed to make sure it works on my NUC, I'll be restoring my ubuntu image and figure it out to work with it till a stable openelec comes out or rather all my addons work with gotham

Hi,

is there any chance of helping out a complete newbie thats only installed Openelec for the first time today.

Bought this remote as looks the best, but can not get it to work. First time trying to SSH/Putty and not sure doing it right. Do you have a more detailed instructions at all please?

Ok..This one is just for you. As it will overwrite existing files if someone else has them already (That you dont have)

We will execute the commands one by one and explain.

ssh into the openelec box and copy paste these commands.

Code:

nano ~/.config/autostart.sh

Then copy paste this into it. (or type it)

Code:

#!/bin/sh

killall lircd
ir-keytable -p lirc
lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 /storage/.config/lircd.conf

press ctrl+o (<---------Thats the Letter O not ZERO) then enter to confirm the saving
Press ctrl+x to exit nano


Then make it executable

Code:

chmod +x ~/.config/autostart.sh

This command will download text from pastebin and save it as lircd.conf

Code:

wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=UcyYsQ6D -O /storage/.config/lircd.conf

This command will again download text from pastbin and save it as Lircmap.xml in the userdata directory

Code:

wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KEQSnzSE -O /storage/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

This command will again download text from pastebin and save it as remote.xml in the keymaps directory

Code:

wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=aQSDnR5J -O /storage/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

All this assumes you have a correct IR receiver and it is identified to the system as /dev/lirc0.

Reboot, Use the remote.

Awesome instructions

Just wanted to say thank you! Strangely it simply would not work on Openelec. I then tried XBMCubuntu and adjusted them slightly and everything worked perfectly.

Really appreciate your help!
