Hi everyone.
I got myself a Harmony 600 remote and have set it up according to the guide, and tried to do it several times from scratch.
But it just does not work in XBMC itself. I can't move left or right or choose anything.
I have then tried to use MCE remote, instead of MS keyboard as primary navigation. This helped in the beginning, but soon this failed too. Sometimes I can get it too work, but within 10 mins it stops working and only 30 strokes will get me one keypress. Most of the times I have no response at all.
I have created the keyboard.xml with the code provided on page 1 as well and then pasted that into the keymaps folder.
I cannot see anything wrong in my setup. HELP!
Thanks

Did you enable remote keypresses in the XBMC settings menu? You need that enabled when using the MCE Keyboard device.

I have now turned the remote to only use Keyboard (unless for uses like ALT+F4 ect). My keystrokes are received, but only on 10+ strokes. MCE remote receives better, but still only after a couple strokes.
I have noticed, that my Infared reciever turns off, when computer goes to sleep. i should be using the correct IR, though im not 100% sure how to verify.

I cannot get it to work proper in windows either. The keystrokes are random, and gets worse over time.
If i set all buttons to MCE remote, then I have the highest success rate, but buttons like Info, Guide wont work. In windows it will 9 out of 10 times not recieve strokes like ALT+F4 or WIN + 3
if all keys are set to MCE Keyboard then almost none of them will work most of the time.
What I can conclude, that this is not a problem only in xbmc. The keys are not intercepted by the system.

I think you are correct in the issue regarding the IR. It has been installed as an eHome Infared Driver.
Is there an easy way to check if it is RC6?
