I have officially given up on getting the RM200 remote to work.
So I bought a
MCE compatible remote Speedlink SL-6399 MCE
It worked instantly after connecting the receiver..... well almost.
several buttons does not work and some are mapped on the wrong button.
So I thought it should be a breeze to remapp it.
But when I run "irw" it does not report anything on this remote.
I switched back to XBMC 8.04 where my RM 200 remote works and tried the new MCE remote there, and the buttons that worked it 9.04 also worked in 8.04 so I started "irw" in 8.04 but no buttons are registered from the new MCE remote. But my RM200 is detected by "irw"
My question is WHY does not "irw" detect the new MCE remote despite some of the buttons works in XBMC ?
UPDATE! Figured out this one, it's detected as a USBHID device and does not use lirc :-(
Darn... how hard it is to get a remote to work.....
What remote with external USB IR receiver works out of the box with XBMCLive
without having to patch, compile and fiddle with config files ?
