but i cannot find any up-to-date solution?

This seems outdated: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Eve...#WiiRemote

All code tagged stuff is to be performed either from a CLI session or by SSH'ing into your XBMC box.

First you need to install the correct eventclient and bluez:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote bluez

After these packages are installed, try connecting the wiiremote to xbmc:

Code:

xbmc-wiiremote &

Then press the 1 and 2 buttons on the wiiremote at the same time. The blue LEDs on the bottom of the remote should start to blink as it tries to synchronize. After a bit XBMC should recognize the remote and synch with it. You'll know the wiiremote is connected with XBMC when the first and last LEDs on the bottom are lit, leaving the middle two unlit.

After you've tested the connection, you can make the backend (XBMC launching xbmc-wiiremote) by adding the command to /etc/rc.local. To do this, open up the file /etc/rc.local in something like vi and add the following:

Code:

xbmc-wiiremote &

Make sure the last line in rc.local is "exit 0" sans quotes.

Yes, ive seen this line before:
sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote
But that packege isnt avaible for me...
Why?

You may need to add the XBMC repository to your sources.

Try this:

Code:

add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
apt-get update
apt-get install xbmc-eventclients*

The asterisk after the eventclients should act as a wildcard and let you see what eventclients are available for install.

When i try to do:
add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
I get that it is Unchanged...
Any ideas?

Change natty to maverick

/ect/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list.list (IIRC)


deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick main


natty is only for unstable, so if you have the latest stable installed, you need the maverick repo. If its maverick it installs the wii-remote gumpf fine, and manually starts without a hitch. I cant work out how to get it to autostart, rc.local seesm not to work on my natty live CD :/ so if you do work it out, please post here.

While trying to sync, this is all that I am getting over and over. Not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions?
