[LINUX] HOW-TO set up Lirc with USB HID remote controls (Hama, Auvisio)
#23
This is for the Conceptronic MCE RF Lounge'n'LOOK remote but should work for other RF remotes as well.

For people who are struggling with this i wrote a small tutorial..
The Conceptronic Lounge'n'LOOK is an RF remote wich doesn't use IR codes, it uses keypresses like from a keyboard. That's why keyboard.xml should be used.

Enable debugging in XBMC->system

Then restart and open up Putty (ssh)

$ sudo -s
$ apt-get install nano
$ nano /home/*****/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log (*****= user)

pagedown to the End and you should see entries like this:

22:05:07 T:3079337872 M:1859035136 DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 192148:00000000000100a6 00 STOPCD linux-input-layer (STOPCD)

Write down the codes (like the one I made red) and CTRL + x to close nano

then

$ nano /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/keyboard.xml

and make entries like the red one with the codes from the debugging.


<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<key id="1111111">ParentDir</key>
<p>Play</p>

111111 = code from debugging

Couldn't find codes for the top buttons or the colored buttons. I used * for ContextMenu and configured the back button for ParentDir wich was all I was missing.. With the new Dharma my OK button wouldn't show OSD while watching movies. All I had to do for that was add: <fullscreenvideo>
<enter>OSD</enter>
<return>OSD</return>
</fullscreenvideo>

@redman5087 maby an idea to put your keyboard.xml on here for future reference.
