Ok so I've purchased another bluetooth dongle and rebooted and it shows up with a MAC address in hciconfig. Then I run ps3_pair.py a couple of times before I get my remote to be discovered and it finds it like this:
I honestly was caught off guard as I was monitoring another log and by the time I looked over my remote's blue light had turned off. So I ctrl-c and reran the script. This time the output looked like:
I thought I was home free so I log in and fire up XBMC and nothing seems to happen. Additionally, if I rerun the ps3_pair.py script it never finds my remote.
Am I bumping into issues since I am not using the actual Sony PS3 remote but using the Blu-Link PS3 compatible remote instead?
This is the remote I have: http://www.blu-link.com/
Will I need to modify the /etc/bluetooth/input.conf file to point to my remote or something? I am woefully ignorant of how the pieces to this puzzle should be fitting together.
