XBMC live with remote control - peroxidew - 2011-09-02
Hi, I have purchased a remote control from ebay after checking its compatibility in xbmc wiki.
i'm not sure what i should choose in lirc, i mean which driver? i've used this manual and the remote doesn't seem to respond.
the remote is this choose the hp mce to view its details.
i can see that it is receving commands from the remote because the receiver shows a dot when ever a button is pressed.
how can this be repaired?
Thanks

You need to be more specific...
What steps have you done to get the remote working?
What does your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf look like?
what does your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf look like?
Are you able to get anything when you do "irw"?
when you do "mode2 -d /dev/lirc0" do you see a bunch of codes when you press the remote control buttons?

Hi,
thanks for the reply, i followed these steps from this link
http://www.axemansplace.co.uk/2010/10/17/xbmc-live-dharma-beta-3-adding-an-unsupported-media-centre-remote/
the lircd.conf, hardware.conf are the default ones, i tried others from a web generator but it was the same.
when i try irw the commands aren't shown. nothing is shown in irw actually.
in the manual there is a modprobe lirc_mceusb command.
when i type it the reply is, module lirc not found.
when i type lsusb i get this line (example)
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 147a:e03e Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.
but with different numbers, and there is no product name.
