<<All this refers to XBMClive (10.1 Dharma using Ubuntu Lucid) using any BD dongle with PS3remote>>
Hi,
I started with the wiki guide (
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._BD_Remote) with no success. Anyway for my solution I started with some of the guide :
- Log on to your box using putty/ssh
sudo su root
apt-get purge bluez
cd /usr/local/src
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- add these lines:
-- deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kitlaan/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
-- deb-src
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kitlaan/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
- CTRL-O for save file and CTRL-X for exit the editor nano
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6F7177CC
apt-get update
apt-get install bluez
nano /etc/modules
- add line
-- uinput
- CTRL-O for save file and CTRL-X for exit the editor nano
apt-get install python-dbus
apt-get install libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev
apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
sudo reboot (wait and reconnect putty/ssh)
sudo su root
cd ~
wget
http://kitlaan.twinaxis.com/projects/blu...air.tar.gz
tar xvfz ps3pair.tar.gz
cd ~/ps3pair
sudo python ps3_pair.py
- now press the Start&Enter combo on the remote to connect the device
- choose device (press 1 and Enter if PS3Remote is the only device)
sudo apt-get install bluez-utils python-bluez
hcitool scan
- now press the Start&Enter combo on the remote to connect the device
- copy the remotes MAC eg "00:82:7C:B9:14:7A"
wget
http://h00s.net/ps3bdremote.tar.gz
tar xvzf ps3bdremote.tar.gz
cd ps3bdremote
nano ps3bdremote-test.py
- change the remotes MAC in the script to your remotes MAC eg "00:82:7C:B9:14:7A"
- CTRL-O for save file and CTRL-X for exit the editor nano
python ps3bdremote-test.py
- now press the Start&Enter combo on the remote to connect the device
- when screen output becomes "connected" press CTRL-C to end the script
apt-get install python-virtkey
reboot
- Log on to your box using putty/ssh
sudo su root
nano /etc/bluetooth/input.conf
-edit your input keys (use XBMC recommendation)
--BTW you will recognize basic input to XBMC with your remote is already working. Simply edit the input.conf to get everything working for your pleasure
END
This procedure has been tested on 20 hardware differing systems and worked out every time!
BTW: I also found out how to solve the SMB connect issue with XBMCLive (Error 2: Share not available) - next guide if requested
