[SOLVED] XBMCbuntu - remote not working in xbmc - kimx - 2012-04-05

Hi, first of all thanks for this incredible piece of software.

I have the following problem with XBMCbuntu Eden:
The Hama MCE Remote configured to work with lirc is working properly showing the keypresses in irw.
Unfortunately the remote is not working in xbmc even with a correct Lircmap placed in the userdata folder.

Could someone point me in the right direction to solve this issue?

Thanks
kimx

I have followed this howto from the wiki:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Hama_MCE_Remote

The "little" difference was that in XBMCbuntu the remote device showed up as /dev/input/irremote0 instead of irremote0. I changed the device section in teh Lircmap.xml to match the complete device string and now evrything is fine.
