Lirc..... Okay thats just pushed my noob linux skills too far.
Any quick solution to getting the HP IR reciever to work with my Harmony remote?
Thanks for the help I have just spent ages on google and trying to get it to work. Seems to be a lack of simple instructions out there!
Cheers

With XBMC Live you plug in the IR receiver. That is it for the HTPC side.
With the Harmony you tell it to be a Microsoft Windows Media Center remote, then when you set up the activity for XBMC manually go and configure each button for use with XBMC. That last part is often skipped because you don't have to do that step for things like DVD players.

I am not on live, its installed on Ubuntu 10.10.
I will have a go at it again when I have the patience!
For the time being I am using my android as a remote which is pretty good, just not for the wife!

The Mac Harmony software has the same options as the Windows one.

Thread revival, I never did get around to getting this sorted I took the easy android route!
I find myself with some time to try and get this working now, everything on the harmony side is setup.
The problem lies with lirc, when I run irw I get no response.
What I need to do first is completely remove lirc and associated files as I tried that many different ways to get it working I cant remember what!

I need some advice... again.
Long story short I have swapped over to xbmclive. Of course my remote wouldnt work as I expected, I have done all the steps and the buttons are working in irw (although one click registers three times).
My harmony is still setup and was working on my previous install, however doesnt seem to be working in xbmc live. Have I missed something I presumed once working in irw that it would work in xbmc live.
Also on a separate side issue I need to auto mount 4 hard drives. there are non showing in fstab.
Thanks for any help!

Sorted remote again!
Still struggling with automounting my drives or just plain old mounting them.
