What's needed to try to use the new remote control functionality? I have an X10 Lola remote that has a USB receiver. I can give it a try. I also have a very very old remote that has a serial receiver, but I gotta rummage through my bsaement to find it.

Search for the IR Server Suite and install it. You can test with the included DebugClient if the Server works with your remote.
XBMC connects on startup to the IR Server and gets all events.

Preferably IR Server Suite 1.4.2 RC1, 1.4.0.1 kinda works but doesn't send a devicename to map to a section in IRSSmap.xml ,it will use the mce section for everything (only section in there currently).
So if your remote works with server suite it needs mapping in IRSSmap.xml

there are 3 other threads in this section on IR Remotes... and in one has been talk in another thread in this section about integrating EventGhost. Check them out.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Hmm... The computer only recognizes the reciever. That makes sense. But this gets complicated since multiples remotes can work with the same receiver. I'll go through the process and use it to write a tutorial for the wiki.
Maybe we can accept user submitted remote maps for various remote/reciever combos and keep them in the svn. The users will have to figure out which one fits what they have.
(I think gamester moved it.)

This isn't too bad. Just need to record all the button presses and map them to the known button names. Now, I have about 10 additional buttons. Is there anyway they can be used similar to how the obc custom buttons work? Or maybe we just allow customized button names of <irmap_SOMETHING> in both keymap.xml and both lircmap and irssmap.xml to take advantage of extra buttons? for instance i can have irmap_playlist and irmap_playing which are two of my extra buttons?
