MCE remote stopped working but I fixed it - HunterZ - 2012-05-10 I'm running XBMCbuntu Eden on an Acer Revo AR3610 with a Microsoft MCE remote with a USB IR receiver. It's been working fine for me for quite some time, but stopped working today all of a sudden. When I enabled debug logging, I noticed that XBMC was receiving the button presses but was not responding to them for some reason. After much googling (and trying a few things with no luck), I finally found a recent blog post that had the solution: http://hadoopadmin.blogspot.com/2012/04/xbmc-live-remote-not-working.html I was able to fix it more easily than the blogger, though; all I had to do was copy /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml to my XBMC userdata directory, then rename "mceusb" to "mceusb_hauppauge" and reboot. It looks like lirc decided for some reason to start reporting my remote as having a different name ("mceusb_hauppauge" instead of "mceusb") and that XBMC didn't recognize that new name as something it knew what to do with.

Thanks, this sorted it for me as well, would be good to know why the device name suddenly changes? or is it the config reverting back to mce all of a sudden?
