xbmc sees the key depressions and keystrokes but does nothing.

This happened after new install today. AT first the keyboard would not work either, but after reboot it started working.

I made sure that both /usr/share/xbmc/system and /usr/share/xbmc/userdata both had Lircmap.xml and Keymap.xml that I copied from the .xbmc/userdata directory posted above. Verified contents and everything looks A ok but it is not working. Just the fact that xbmc is seeing the key depressions based on the logs means it should work.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. My fat a$$ has go used to not getting out the chair to go to a wired keyboard. My cheapo backup!

[pooh]

FWIW, same here, same build.... Help appreciated.

I can confirm this. with previous build, the function keys on my dinovo mini (play/pause/stop etc) magically started to work, but now they're dead again. normal keys still work btw.

[speed32219]

OK, after reading the wiki it seems that starting with a 21XXX release that Lircmap needs to be in either of the following directories.

/etc/share/xbmc/system/keymaps

or

.xbmc/userdata/keymaps

No wonder my remote stopped working, but it still doesn't work..

With the new releases you should put Keymap.xml and Lircmap.xml within the same directories mentioned above.

Now that I have said that, my remote still does not work. IRW sees it, XBMC sees it and here is a snippit of the xbmc.log. All the other keymaps loaded successfully.

19:32:39 T:3047044928 M:1478860800 INFO: Loading special://profile/keymaps/Keymap.xml
19:32:39 T:3047044928 M:1478860800 INFO: Loading special://profile/keymaps/Lircmap.xml
19:32:39 T:3047044928 M:1478860800 ERROR: special://profile/keymaps/Lircmap.xml Doesn't contain <keymap>

This darn error is killing me. Lircmap.xml doesn't contain keymap. I did not see this error in my prior post, but it was because I had Lircmap.xml in the wrong directory, per the new release. This Soundgraph RM100/RM200 use to work in the earlier XBMC releases. I have the Keymap in the right directory and as seen above in the log and it loads it along with 5 -6 other keymaps. I have re-written it a dozen times with no joy. Can anyone point me in the right direction. My previous post has the actual maps, I just need to know what that Lircmap.xml error means. Doesn't contain <keymap>!

[althekiller]

Only the Keymap.xml location changed. Lircmap.xml still belongs in your userdata dir.

[speed32219]

Only the Keymap.xml location changed. Lircmap.xml still belongs in your userdata dir.

You are right, I stand corrected, Wiki states to put Lircmap in your Home userdata directory. It also is a good idea to put your Keymap there also, it is nice to keep user written xml's in a safe place. And yes, XBMC does see both in your home userdata folder.

Ok, now my probelm. put Lircmap.xml in the ~/.xbmc/userdata and I still get the error ERROR: special://profile/keymaps/Lircmap.xml Doesn't contain <keymap>. I have changed the <remote device="/etc/lirc/lirc0.conf"> in Lircmap figuring that was what that error meant. (Tried lirc0, lirc0.conf, and then the hard coded path, etc.) It still doesn't work, something else had to change.

EDIT: Success, the prior XBMC releases I was using I had the lirc device files(Lirc0, lirc1, mceusb, etc.) in a /etc/lirc folder. It now seems that XBMC wants those files in the /etc folder. Your remote will not work if you have the files in the /etc/lirc folder anymore even if you have it hard coded to do so (ie. <remote device="/etc/lirc/lirc0.conf">.
