Hi,

Like many here I've got an old xbox/xbmc setup and I'm moving to XBMC for Linux so I can watch hidef stuff.

Can anyone recommend a decent remote and receiver I can use with my PC/LINUX/XBMC setup?

I've searched around and haven't really found any lists of models I can buy that will definitely work with Linux/XBMC, point me there if i missed them please!

Ideally a link to a uk site (or ebay listing) where I can buy one would be best.

Many thanks.

Get a standard windows MCE remote and receiver. Works great. Alternatively, the PS3 remote is now supported if you have bluetooth, but then you can't program into a universal remote.

Edit: holy crap, editing posts works now!

Something along these lines then?

Yes, that's the one. It will work perfectly, no configuration required. That's the "standard", if there is such a thing, for XBMC.

I can't believe how easy that was!

I got one of the standard MCE remotes, booted XBMC Live, and it worked without doing anything.

That's about as close to an appliance as your going to get i reckon.

Well done one and all for making is so easy.

But you need this program to get it working with xbmc:

I'll send you my config if you want. Only thing that doesnt work is mute and that's because I can't get it to work for my keyboard..

I am reading up on linux driver development so maybe I'll be able to write a driver for it.

The main advantage of this remote is with that program it is highly customizable..

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but any chance you could send me a copy of your keys.h file, please?

Cheers.
