Hello.

This is my first time to post any guide here so please be gentle

To get this remote to work in XBMC Live 9.11 you have to do the following.

Install XBMC live 9.11 to HDD (dont know if this works in live mode)

I did update to latest SVN before i tried this.

After installation is done you should open a terminal window CTRL-ALT-F1
Login as the user you set up during installation.

type sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
after the configuration window comes up choose ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (userspace) and press ENTER, on the next screen choose NONE and let the installation finnish.

Now you have to edit lirc.conf and to do so type sudo nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and replace all things in there with nebu´s lirc.conf post here http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showpost.php?p...stcount=39
Save and reboot the computer (tested with asrock ion 330)

Now the remote should work fine .. tested with the usual buttons.

A thx to nebu coz i used his lirc.conf file

The RF receiver is a bit sensitive so im gonna get a usb extension cable and lay the receiver on top of my asrock ion 330.

Thanks alot for all the info in this thread

Got the remote working perfectly now!

Hi!

I have a problem with getting this remote to work on an Acer Aspire Revo 3610 (Ubuntu 10.04 installed to a USB stick). I did all the instructions in the first post, but I can't get any output in irw.

Here are the relevant files:
hardware.conf

Code:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="OR22V"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="atilibusb"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""

lircd.conf

Code:

# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <[email protected]>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.4a(atilibusb) on Tue Sep  8 23:54:34 2009
#

Devices connected to USB are:
RF receiver for the remote
wired keyboard + mouse that came with the Revo (in Poland they bundle wired controllers, not wireless )
Kingston USB stick that the system is running from
external 3.5" HDD enclosure

I've noticed there's no atilibusb present in lsmod, there is also no /dev/lirc0 present, so I guess the drivers aren't loaded properly.
How can I get the remote to work?

[Rico_s]

costi, try my post instead on http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=479...stcount=49

[rav0r]

Hi,

I've tried to get my OR22V to work, but it won't.
At first I used funnybox2006's approach and because it didn't result in a working remote I tried Rico_s' tutorial.

When I start "irw" I get commands like this:

Code:

####@XBMCLive:~/.xbmc/system$ irw
000000146f9a0000 00 Up Medion_MD8800

00000014709b0000 02 World Medion_MD8800
00000014709b0000 03 World Medion_MD8800

But XBMC does not react at all. Is there anything I can try?

[Rico_s]

Then you did not add the nebu´s lirc.conf.

You must have a lirc.conf file or else the remote dont work.

[StarkJohan]

Where can I buy one of these beauties?

I've been searching high and low for a RF remote compatible with lirc, this seems to be one of the few remotes that fulfill my wishes but I can't seem to find any place that sells them at all.

Can someone please point me in the right direction, I really need an RF remote for my htpc...

[Galaxi]

I get the remote to work.
In "irw" i get 5 replys on every button i push.
XBMC does everything twice.
That i fixed with <remotedelay>4</remotedelay> in advancedsettings.xml

But the problem is when i use suspend!
When i awaken from suspend it goes back in suspend.
I starts xbmc again and almost all the time it stay awake.
But sometimes it can suspend more times.

Been trying to find an answer all day/night and nothing works...
Question is what im doing wrong?

[cbscpe]

Many thanks to funnybox2006 and the simplification of nebu. Thanks to these tutorials I could install one of these X10 RF Remote Controls from Pollin Germany



and it works perfect running a HTPC based on Foxconn nt330i with XBMC Live 9.11. The only steps I had to do was to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
according to the initial post of funnybox2006 and then replace /etc/lirc/lircd.conf with the suggestion of nebu.

[costi]

Could someone who uses this remote share their lircmap.xml and keymap.xml?
Either via pastebin/megaupload/whaever or via email to costi AT poczta.onet.pl?

[jagabongo]

This does NOT work anymore under 10.04 und 10.1 Dharma Sad but true!

[nebu]

This does NOT work anymore under 10.04 und 10.1 Dharma Sad but true!

Yes, just figured that out myself. I am working on it. If anybody has any hints....all help is appreciated.
