NismoC32 Wrote:Now if I only could find out witch tag in XBMC corresponds to the original XBOX1 remote button "Display" (It's the one on the top of the remote)
It is supposed to trigger on and off the MilkDrop animation during Music playing among other.

davidw Wrote:Nice HowTo thank you!
Here are my lirc.conf files (i wasn't able to get it work with just one file lirc.conf) also i had to change manually the toggle_bit_mask from 0x2800000000 to 0x1400000000 because every button press caused two signals - i think this is a good solution !
So now to my problems I hope someone can help me:
Sometimes the keys will not get recognized. They work well and after that i need to press another key five times until it works! For debugging i run "irw" at the same time and also it will not recognize the key so it must be a lirc problem!?
Quote:The next issue is that i can't use any other remote control! Do I have to change some configuration to get a Harmony Work for example?!
Quote:Because the RM100 has only a few buttons I want to use another remote and the harmony will not get recognized even when I use it with the RM100 configuration
## LCDProc Server ##

Quote:When then xbmc starts the LCD displays one second the XBMC menu or movie title and the next second again this LCDPROC words.In /etc/LCDd.conf
How can I avoid this?
davidw Wrote:I changed the toggle_bit_mask back to the "defaults" from irrecord but I still have the same problems that sometimes there are no signals AND irw and xbmc recognizes two signals on one button press.
Quote:So I think it's not the toggle_bit_mask but can you tell me how I can tell XBMC that it should ignore the second signal?
Quote:Maybe the problem is that I must use two lirc configurations!?
I'll try to configure it to one but last times I failed!

spozen Wrote:I just bought a Imon Inside with a iMON PAD and it's a PITA to setup.
Would it be possible to use the XBOX remote with the ir - receiver instead?
spozen Wrote:Hehe, my progress?
It took me a day to get it to work, only to realize it was completely useless with out a patch to make the "pad" work like key events(up = up on keyboard etc). You see the PAD is supposed to act like a mouse but this doesn't work without applying a patch(surprise).
So there is two patches and these patches aren't very well supported/noob friendly:
PAD2Keys: http://brakemeier.de/electronics/vdr/lirc-imon.html
PAD2Mouse: http://venky.ws/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60
But maybe i just suck at LIRC, after a reboot the remote stopped working and i had to reinstall everything.
So that's my progress so far...
But it would be awesome to get two remotes to work with the same IR recevier then i can let my multi remote learn from the PAD and the XBOX remote.
Here's a thread about the IR receiver you might wanna read, apparently the harmony should "work" :

I only bought the imon inside becasue of the power on feature AFAIK the vista/mce remote doesn't have any power on function right?
