Linux HOW-TO setup a working configuration for the MS Xbox 360 Universal & Media Remote

Use the updated versions in this post. That should do it.

Its DVD Menu for context menu
________
Kitchen Measures

I had used the updated config already, I found the fix though:

I had to move Keymap.xml from

/home/USER/.xbmc/userdata/
to
/home/USER/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/

Now Context Menu works as it is supposed to!!

Hopefully this will be helpful for others!

I have serached but found no results.

Has anyone managed to get a xbox360 remote working in Windows XP?

I have the "regular" Xbox 360 remote, but I can't get it to work. I don't see why it shouldn't. =/ I use the updated versions of the files in this topic.
I have an Acer MCE remote that's working fine (the only problem being that the build quality of the remote sucks, so I really want to use my Xbox 360 remote).
I run XBMC Live 9.11.

If i run the command "irw" i get this when I use the remote:
000000037ff00be1 00 UpArrow Microsoft_Xbox360
000000037ff00bde 00 RightArrow Microsoft_Xbox360
000000037ff00be9 00 Play Microsoft_Xbox360
000000037ff00be6 00 Stop Microsoft_Xbox360

But nothing happens in XBMC.

Does anyone have any idea why it won't work?

Edit:
It's working now. I just turned off and on the whole system, and then it suddenly worked. Apparently it wasn't enough to just restart the lirc.

thx for the config-files from post#7, they helped me a lot.

I just wanted to add, that I had to follow this guide http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=505280&postcount=2 to get the X,Y,B,A buttons on my small x360 remote to work.

Thanks for the tutorial! post 7 worked great for me, as well. Although i find navigation to be slightly cumbersome, from coming from using my xbox mediacenter extender. No biggy.

one question, how could i map one of the buttons to bring up the usual right click menu?


im thinking it could be something useful for the big X button to do. just a thought.

Hey,

Just wanted to say cheers for the config FishOil.

Got my Xbox360 Universal working straight away with a Scaleo E's built in IR receiver.
Copy, paste, restart, smiley face!

Thanks again, saved a whole heap of work!

If you promise not to make fun of my scripting skills (lack of)

This is a bash script and it must be run as root.

when asked type in the name of your xbmc user

It will create 4 files and back them up if they already exist.

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/home/"$user"/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml
/home/"$user"/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml

reboot and this wonderful remote should be working
