Nice, thanks again for your help.
Is it possible to remap the buttons to my liking? I assume I can use the hama_mce.xml file and edit that, put it in ~/.xbmc/keymaps, but how do I find out what commands the event server sends to XBMC?

I'm not sure,I didn't try it yet.I've fixed the remote at 1:00 am lol
You can try to start hama_mce manually(with sudo) in console and press the remote keys,you should see some output.
- Horscht - 2010-09-11 12:31
again, you provided usefull input.
Unfirtunatelly, hama_mce seems to sebd "XBMC-Ready" commands like "XBMC.ActivateWindow(HOME)", which I obviously can't remap in XBMC itself... gonna find a decent way to get it to remap, though
EDIT: looks like one has to modify the source code (hama_mce.cpp) to remap the buttons. line 102 onwards has the keymaps, obviously. Gonna fiddle with that, then recompile

yes the trick is to modify the source,not very handy,but doable.Good work.The power of open source

I've uploaded an updated version. It contains a few bug fixes and allows you to remap all the keys via keymaps.xml

I'm speechless!!!You did an awesome job!Thanks again for your work!This guy needs to see his work in official Xbmc code!
- Horscht - 2010-09-14 19:54
wow, great effort. I really appreciate it

fyfe,
First preliminary tests indicates that your hama_mce event reader works far better than lirc with this particular remote. Thanks for a great work!
2 points do:
- I noticed some sluggishness responding to key presses _sometimes_ Most of the time it works quite well. Aldo a tad slow for me...
- Is there any particular reason buttons play and pause are mapped to the same event (pause)? Or it's my bad and remote.xml, keymap.xml, whatever.xml is to blame?
Thanks!

hi peeps, i have been using this hama_mce tool, I had the problem of the power button repeating itself, so after resuming from suspend (power button) it would suspend again . so i patched the code, in one line. if anyone has this problem let me know ill post the fix.
