[XBMCbuntu] IR Remote - Keyboard presses
#1
I've just upgraded my system to the recent XBMCbuntu release and was surprised at how the remote appeared to work straight out of the box. Unfortunately it's only partially working (left, right, up, down, volume, play and stop).

I've run the 'showkey' tool and created a list of keycodes and functions to map to, however as I add them to the keyboard.xml list nothing happens.


Code:
sudo showkey
kb mode was RAW
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
keycode 352 press
keycode 352 press
keycode 352 release

These keys are not display in the xbmc.log, however the ones that work do.
keycode 352 - Mapped as Play
Code:
<key id="352">Play</key>

I've tried creating the key map in the userdata and in the /usr/share/xbmc locations.

Where can I go from here?

Hi

I've tried the same, having showkey shoving
402
403
130

when inserting in keyboard.xml it has no effect.

Starting debug on xbmc, I also dont see the keys.

So something seems to block them

Best regards

Jørgen
