[LINUX] xbmc does not react on lirc remote - cornelinux - 2011-02-18 Dear forum, I want to add a remote to my xbmc machine, running on ubunutu 10.04. I followed this description http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_setup_Lirc_to_talk_to_XBMC and was able to see my remote. This is also boot-safe, so the LIRC remote works fine. The xml files are stored in the system wide folder. But xbmc does not react on the remote. Do I have to choose this very remote somewhere? Thanks a lot and kind regards Cornelius - Dobutamine - 2011-02-18 Can you provide the kernel version.. name of the remote/receiver. - cornelinux - 2011-02-18 Hi Dobutamine, the kernel is Linux media 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 21:21:01 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux The remote is an old remote of a broken dvb-t receiver. The IR receiver is a home soildered receiver on the serial port. This thing worked perfectly with Freevo! :o) And it works perfectly with lirc. As I said, I followed this http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_s...o_talk_to_XBMC description and the test with "irw" worked well. Kind regards Cornelius - darkscout - 2011-02-18 1) Does your LIRC device name match the IRW name? 2) What does XBMC debug log show? If irw is showing device: "UP myawesomecustomremote" And you don't have an lircmap for myawesomecustomremote, then it won't do anything. - cornelinux - 2011-02-18 Hi darkscout, enlighten me! Code: media@media:~$ irw /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml: Code: <lircmap> --Where is the log file?-- Can not find anything like "remote" or "lirc" in the .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log Kind regards Cornelius - darkscout - 2011-02-18 You need to enable debug logging. |
