IRTRans + MCE remote, how?

Hey!

I just tried your guide and at first it all worked fine, but now I get this messages everytime I start Eventghost:

C:\Program Files\EventGhost\eg\Classes\ActionThread.py:81: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6
Could not connect to the LIRC server!
Please doublecheck your configuration and that the LIRC server is reachable

I just tried to delete the Lirc Client from Eventghost and now it works again, it seems to fail everytime Eventghost is restarted. I also noticed in the Eventghost log that while I just was browsing the menues in XBMC the buttons "Record" and "DVD Menue" was used, without me even touching them.

Any thoughts?

New add: Can it be that the problem occurs becaus Eventghost loads before IRTrans? Because if I reboot the computer the Lirc Client reports errors connectin to the server, but if I simply restart Eventghost after the system is booted it works fine. Is there some way to force Eventghost/Lirc Client to delay to load after 30 seconds or something like that?

Cheers!

i can't seem to get the GUIDE, MENU, and EXIT buttons on my harmony 680 to work with this method (editing the IRTrans apps.cfg). is there a specific way to do that? do they need to be set to something specific in the harmony button configuration first?

everything else (buttons that also exist on MCE remotes) works fine.

Thanks...

edit: for example, trying to get the GUIDE button to map to Esc on the keyboard. if i set GUIDE to 'TeleText' in the Harmony setup, then add an entry to apps.cfg with the others:

TELETEXT [KEY]\ESC

it doesn't do anything. I've also tried:

TELETEXT [KEY]\ESCAPE
TELETEXT [KEY]ESC

i only used TeleText because i needed a button that i wasn't using for anything currently. i tried a few others as well, no luck...any ideas?

EDIT: seems to not like keys Esc and Tab...switching to letter keys worked. had to change keyboard.xml accordingly in my XBMC folder

Hello, I am writing this message about 2004 for use in xbmc IRtrns.

How did you get those codes? Where is this file Keymap.xml I can not find it?

Thank you

Hello pitchout,
look at this link http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keymap.xml to find the location of the keymap.xml.

What codes to you mean?

Thanks i try myself, il y have trouble with my system, i call you ;-)

My english is basic, sorry and happy new year

quick question re: this. i have a Zalman HD160 with an MCE Remote. i've already got this working pretty well using Myxin's method in post #2.

something i'm having trouble with, though: these specific buttons on my MCE remote:

teletext
guide
#
*
red
green
yellow
blue

do not seem to work when i add them to the apps.cfg file and then map them to a keyboard button. can they be added? is there a specific way to enter them? all the other MCE remote keys work fine. note that this is NOT the same issue as my post above - i have tried mapping them to a basic letter key.

thanks...

I think the IR Trans don't know the buttons.
Right click on the IR Trans tray symbol and choice "show IR command"
Press one of the buttons without function.
You should see something similar to this: S000111010001
Right click on the IR Trans try symbol and choice "learn IR command"
Choice you remote controlle from the list, enter the name of the button and press learn. Now press the button on the remote.

Hi all,
in the latest version of the IRTrans server we have added native support for IRTrans together with XBMC. By default the MS MCE remote is used.

However, another remote can be used by editing the apps.cfg file.

IRTrans

IRTrans: I am thinking of buying an Origen AE VF110 from ebay

http://www.origenae.co.kr/en/accessory_vf110.htm

It uses the Ir trans server, will the VFD also work out of the box with the XBMC plugin?

Thanks
