Why lircmap?
#1
I'm in the middle of changing around my xbmc setup, and I'm wondering why the need for lircmap. Why can't I just put the remote buttons to xbmc functions in the keymap file? It looks like it goes from...

lirc -> lircmap -> keymap

I know there's a reason why I did this, but just can't remember why.

Thanks!

A remote either uses lirc or is identified as a keyboard.

lirc:
lirc event -> map lirc key to virtual remote button (lircmap.ml) -> map virtual remote button to xbmc function (remote.xml)

keyboard:
keyboard event -> map to virtual xbmc key -> map virtual key to xbmc funtion (keyboard.xml)
