Hello,
After update xbmc 12.3 to 13.1 my ir remote stopped working.
keys like vol_up,vol_down, chanel_up, channel_down are working, but due to my small remote I remapped numeric keys to use it as navigation on global section.

This configuration was working properly in 12.3

Info:
I'm using linux version of xbmc that comes from debian-multimedia
xbmc -v XBMC Media Center 13.1 Git:Unknown

when I type "irw" all ir remote keys are correctly recognized.

Here's my Lircmap.xml from (~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml)

Code:

<lircmap>
    <remote device="devinupt">
        <one>KEY_1</one>
        <two>KEY_2</two>
        <three>KEY_3</three>
        <four>KEY_4</four>
        <five>KEY_5</five>
        <six>KEY_6</six>
        <seven>KEY_7</seven>
        <eight>KEY_8</eight>
        <nine>KEY_9</nine>
        <zero>KEY_0</zero>
        <volumeplus>KEY_VOLUMEUP</volumeplus>
        <volumeminus>KEY_VOLUMEDOWN</volumeminus>
        <channelplus>KEY_CHANNELUP</channelplus>
        <channelminus>KEY_CHANNELDOWN</channelminus>
        <mute>KEY_MUTE</mute>
        <power>KEY_POWER</power>
        <select>KEY_OK</select>
        <yellow>KEY_YELLOW</yellow>
        <record>KEY_RECORD</record>
        <stop>KEY_STOP</stop>
        <blue>KEY_BLUE</blue>
    </remote>
</lircmap>

here's my remote.xml (~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml)

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
    <zero>Number0</zero>
      <one>Number1</one>
      <two>Up</two>
      <three>Number3</three>
      <four>Left</four>
      <five>Select</five>
      <six>Right</six>
      <seven>Number7</seven>
      <eight>Down</eight>
      <nine>Back</nine>
      <volumeplus>VolumeUp</volumeplus>
      <volumeminus>VolumeDown</volumeminus>
    <channelplus>ChannelUp</channelplus>
    <channelminus>ChannelDown</channelminus>
    <mute>Mute</mute>
    <power>XBMC.ActivateWindow(shutdownmenu)</power>
    <select>Select</select>
    <yellow>XBMC.ActivateWindowAndFocus(MyPVR, 31,0, 10,0)</yellow>
    <record>XBMC.ActivateWindow(pvrosdchannels)</record>
    <stop>XBMC.ActivateWindow(pvrosdguide)</stop>
    <blue>Back</blue>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

I tryed to solve this problem by myself, but I didn't have lucky.

some grep's from xbmc.log:
$ grep Lircmap .xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

Ive excatly the same issue after upgrade someone maybe find a solution?

[Kib]

XBMC from debian-multimedia is a weird LibAV build that Debian made. We generally speaking do not support it here.

[black_eagle]

Shouldn't the remote.xml have the line "<remote device="devinput">" instead of just "remote" ?

[z0nk777]

Hello,
I would like to share my solution! It taked some time but after 3 months I back to old challange with remote so let me allow to present solution to you:

CAUSE:
after upgrade key codes was changed between xbmc versions so:
KEY_0 became KEY_NUMERIC_0,
KEY_1 -> KEY_NUMERIC_1
...and so on...

I changed in ir_keymap keycodes (if you are using LIRC change key codes in config file), and in Lircmap.xml changing all numeric KEY_ to KEY_NUMERIC as above example. After that my remote started to working in gotham sam as in froyo.

I hope that this solution will be useful for others.
