I have got Twisted Melon's Mira IR Receiver

I installed lirc
configured it by Mythbuntu Control Centre to "apple mini IR receiver"

when I run irw and press some buttons on my remote (apple remote) the led light flashes but noting is displayed

i dont know how debug this?

If "irw" doesn't register anything when you press the remote buttons, you need to reconfigure lirc

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc

This should bring up the window to choose the receiver & remote for lirc.

After it's configured

Code:

irw

and press the buttons on your remote to see if they register with lirc.
If no joy, reconfigure again choosing a different receiver & remote, until "irw" registers your remote key presses.

If you're using Ubuntu with Gnome try installing "gnome-lirc-properties".
it's a GUI for configuring lirc with a few more remote & receiver options.

Once you have a fully working lirc setup, if xbmc doesn't see your remote you need to map the keys. See this How-To by "Temar"

It's all be done in terminal

You can close the irw process with

Code:

Ctrl + C

As far as I know, the Mira receiver is an eHome receiver. You should set it up as an MCE receiver.
