Hello All,
I've got a very strange problem. Since a couple of days XBMC seems to ignore my Lirc with my Windows MCE remote (lirc_mceusb2 driver) configuration. As a result, I'm can only control XBMC using a keyboard.
No updates were done on my Xubuntu 8.10 configuration and the exact same config is running without problems on an other platform.
The following was checked/done prior before post here:
- Remove (purge) Lirc and reinstall and (re)configure from Ubuntu Repo;
- Remove (Purge) Lirc and reinstall and (re)configure from Lirc CVS;
- Remove (purge) XBMC and reinstall 'stable' precompiled binary;
- Remove (purge) XBMC and install SVN-precompiled binary;
- Removed $HOME/.xbmc entirely;
- Check Lirc configuration;
Offcourse, Lirc was tested and it completely works. I've tested it using irw on a Terminal session (within Xorg and SSH) and I'm able to start XBMC and the VDR frontend using the irxevent/irexec configuration (and yes, I've disabled this also just to check if this was the problem) and it's possible to switch from the VDR frontend (xine) to XBMC but not vice versa. Lirc works and is running in the background, but when XBMC is started I see nothing comming through in irw as well (like it locks the /dev/lircd or something and doesn't do anything with it). As soon as I kill xbmc.bin then irw retreives the information from the remote again.
I also have the log uploaded to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m2d2aa814
Any help is greatly appreciated!
