remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-07 I made my remote working with a combination of HP MCE, mceremote and an asrock config. It works fine, all buttons are configured the way I want but there is one silly problem: when I press a button 2 or 3 times in quick succession, the cursor just jumps waaay ahead real fast. My lircd.conf file is here. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks![/code] RE: remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-08 Well with this page and one on Ubuntu's forum and a lot of searching I managed to get to work properly. Only took me the better part of the day . And my brain is numb ... Four buttons don't do what I want and looking at these guides my eyes just glaze over right now ... KEY_EPG (0x016d) --> How do I map that to codec_info? KEY_SLEEP (0x008e) --> Quit XBMC KEY_NUMERIC_STAR (0x020a) --> Cycle audio tracks KEY_NUMERIC_POUND (0x020b) --> Cycle subtitles Something to get me on my way again? Thanks! RE: remote control issue - anthony.selby - 2013-12-09 Are you talking about in a list ? My remote does that as well but its by design ... If I push the 5 button 2 times it will jump down to J, 3 times K, 4 times L You might be able to turn that off but I'm not sure RE: remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-10 Thanks but I got that fixed. I just need to remap those 4 buttons then I'm done.

The guide here discusses keyboard.xml but doesn't explain how to map remote control keys. Another site speaks of lircmap.xml buts its outdated and file locations are wrong (and possibly other info as well). Which files do I need to edit and what do I place in them? Thanks. RE: remote control issue - anthony.selby - 2013-12-15 You need to place a <remote> section in the keyboard.xml file http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=keymap#Remote_Section RE: remote control issue - FishOil - 2013-12-17 (2013-12-14, 15:21)inflatablemouse Wrote: It's not clear to me where I'm supposed to put this. You can find the information you need here. You dont have to follow the tutorial but all the information you want is there. Maybe start around step 22 RE: remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-18 Thanks for the links. I'll have a look at that in the coming days. RE: remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-27 Finally came around to fix this. I created Lircmap.xml in userdata with the following contents: <lircmap> <remote device="devinput"> <Power>KEY_SLEEP</Power> <CodecInfo>KEY_DVD</CodecInfo> <NextSubtitle>KEY_NUMERIC_POUND</NextSubtitle> <AudioNextLanguage>KEY_NUMERIC_STAR</AudioNextLanguage> </remote> </lircmap> Device name is taken from '/usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput' and confirmed by 'irw'. The power button works, but the other three do not. What gives? . RE: remote control issue - FishOil - 2013-12-27 (2013-12-27, 14:23)inflatablemouse Wrote: Finally came around to fix this. Better read that tutorial again. You kinda got it backwards. Pay attention to the lirc xbmc relationship. It imperative that you understand that. RE: remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-27 Appreciate your help but this is becoming very frustrating. So this relationship ... I read the other link from that guide as well, you said "xbmc sends the EjectTray() COMMAND which is tied to the star NAME which is tied to the OpenClose BUTTON on the remote". So to put in order, my remote sends a code which is given a name in Lircmap.xml, this name is given a command in remote.xml for Xbmc to execute. Lircmap.xml is now: <lircmap> <remote device="devinput"> <Power>KEY_SLEEP</Power> <menu>KEY_DVD</menu> <hash>KEY_NUMERIC_POUND</hash> <star>KEY_NUMERIC_STAR</star> </remote> </lircmap> In remote.xml: <keymap> <global> <remote> <hash>NextSubtitle</hash> <star>AudioNextLanguage</star> <menu>CodecInfo</menu> </remote> </global> </keymap> Needless to say its still not working.

If you are using the lircd.conf file in the first post your remote name is incorrect. RE: remote control issue - inflatablemouse - 2013-12-30 Correct, that has changed. Lircd.conf contains: include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput First few lines of that file are: # generated by devinput.sh begin remote name devinput |
