I have never been able to set up the IR properly and nobody has been able to give me an answer at the OE forum.
While it is quite easy to get UP, DOWN, ENTER and so on to work. I can not get numbers or letters to work.
Placing "0x800f0401 KEY_NUMERIC_1" into the keymap causes that button to throw a "." (period). In fact, NONE of the number or letter commands work. Just the basic PLAY, STOP and so on. All numeric commands end up throwing a letter, not a number.
I am using these instructions: wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Guide_to_add_your_own_remote
But no matter what code I place for the #1 button... It always throws a PERIOD. And #2 throws an "A", It ends up throwing the letters for the numbers (like on a dial pad) rather than the number. So it KNOWS it is the #2 key because it throws the letter that would be on the #2 button of a phone. ? And I can not get ANY button other than the number pads to throw a LETTER to the unit.
I would like to get a button to throw a "C" so I can open the context menu with the remote. Placing the code "KEY_C" does nothing. It seems as if the code to assign the key, does not work. Even though the directions imply it would.
I am using a CuBox with the built in IR and the IR works fine. I can see the code for each button when I am reading the button codes. I just can't seem to get them to assign to a key stroke. Some folks at the OE forum said that it can not be done, but then why have the instructions on how to do it?
