How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-08 I have a zotac media remote that i wish too map via keyboard.xml. But how can i see what key is assigned too on the pressed button? alot off keys / buttons are self explanatory and work fine, but i wish to change the red,green,blue,yellow,teletext etc to assign to something. RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - giftie - 2012-08-08 Which OS are you using? RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-08 xbmcbuntu (11.0), sorry forgot that RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - giftie - 2012-08-08 At the command line, you be able to type 'IRW' and the when you press a button, the code will show up on the screen. I'm not sure if you need to edit keyboard.xml or Lircmap.xml & remote.xml for you install(for MCE remote you do.) RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-08 after doing that, i get connect: no such file or directory? RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - giftie - 2012-08-08 Hmm ok.. that probably means your remote is working differently then a MCE remote. I'm not sure what to do next(only have one remote myself) RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-08 thanks for your help, from 'dmesg | grep -i usb' it registers as input: PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus... i reviewed this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=133071, but now my remote doesn't work at all after following bennyp's write up (either i missed a step or its not valid with xbmcbunutu)... anyone else wish too share there thoughts or experience? RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - DaVu - 2012-08-08 Can you post the output from Code: lsusb RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-08 Code: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - DaVu - 2012-08-08 Is Lirc installed? If "irw" shows "no such file or directory" I think lirc isnĀ“t installed after all. So you have to do this first If lirc is installed you probably can try Code: dpkg-reconfigure lirc after that you chose the "Phillips"-Section that fits to your device...for "transmitter" you chose "none" Then restart the system and try "irw" again Greetings RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-09 So it said the package wasnt fully installed... I then apt-get install lirc and in the config to select remote, there is only 1 philips (Philips SRM 7500 RF remote) and i cant see one that would be the right one... RE: How can i monitor IR-Remote Keys? - edhen - 2012-08-09 Ok a little progress has been made BUT... irw still shows connect: No such file or directory TILL i start lircd manually after that has start and i do irw, all buttons show fine. but xbmc wont react too any buttons tho? |
