+--- Thread: XBMC gets dedicated remote - Motorola Nyxboard (/showthread.php?tid=80968)
- azaze1 - 2011-09-28 05:23
Malard, so do we just grab the copy from github or does the nightly XBMC builds package up the latest copy as well? Is there a way to get XBMC to use a different keymap file rather than renaming so that one who constantly updates to latest nightly doesn't have to also rename the file each time it's updated?
BTW: did order #444 get shipped ?
thanks

Keymap, look here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/system/keymaps/keyboard.nyxboard.xml

There is actually some logic in the mainline xbmc to switch to the nyxboard config, except there is one file which needs updating, you can do this manually by editing the deviceidmappings.xml in system with the correct VID and PID for the nyxboard (or any remote for that matter) and it will switch to the relevant keymap file.

is this file not correct:
<devicemappings>
<device id="HID#VID_1915&PID_003B&MI_00#7&314e95d&0&0000#" keymap="Motorola Nyxboard Hybrid" />
</devicemappings>
what are the correct values then ?
(I should receive my remote soon and I want to be ready
)
nyboard recieved, not working on ubuntu 11.04 64bit - gobbledigook - 2011-09-28 21:47
hey, thought i would post this over here as well....
hi,
received my remote today
works fine on my windows box, plug and play.... but not on my ubuntu box, Ubuntu 11.04 (GNU/Linux 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64)(my media server!!!) plug it in, wait a minute and when i press the buttons i get a double flash red led which means out of range? but i'm stood 2ft away from it...
anyways took a look at lsusb and see: iSerial 3
?the only thing that looks wrong
not really how else to troubleshoot... but ideas welcome !Code:
server@server:~$ sudo lsusb -v

Double flash would mean its failed to pair with the dongle, reset it by removing the batteries.
The 3 devices are
1x Mouse
1x Top side keyboard
1x Bottom side keyboard
Cheers

I was wondering about shipping times... I am in Louisiana, USA. I just noticed that Pulse Eight is in UK. What is the estimated shipping time?

thanx! for your swift response
i took the batteries out for 5mins and inserted right next to the dongle... after waiting 30secs still double red flash
is there someway to test from cli? or a gui setting i may have turned off that may effect it?
EDIT: strangely the flashes get faster the closer the remote is to the dongle, kinda cool too

When you go back to windows does it work okay again?

I estimate you should have it by the end of the week

works now thanx
put it back in the windows box and it came up as unknown... so took it out and tried again and it worked.... then put it back in the ubuntu box and it worked! although i suppose that the radio isn't as strong as i had presumed, popped the dongle on an extension.
Great
