i see. hmm, is the imon receiver not universal? i mean, with a xbox dvd remote lircd.conf it should transcode the send ir signals. Or am i wrong?

It works a completely different way than most of the receivers. It has some kind of mouse mode and so on. MCE can receive most of the remotes signal.

[rayholland]

i have been playing around and modinfo lirc_imon gives me the follwing info:

depends: lirc_dev
vermagic: 2.6.30.3-4.1.moblin2-netbook SMP preempt mod_unload PENTIUMM

Interesting part is ir_protocol. So if we add ir_protocol=1 as an option the imon receiver would pick up MCE ir signals. So, no extra MCE IR receiver needed. Anyone tried this? I have a MCE remote laying around somewhere ;-)

[rayholland]

ok, we are one step further. I use a mce rc6 remote with the imon ir receiver:

dmesg output:
[ 2.106485] lirc_imon: Configuring IR receiver for MCE protocol

mode2 output:

[root@localhost init.d]# mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 --raw
code: 0x0200002200000000
code: 0x0200002200000000

code: 0x0200000000000000

so far, so good, the imon ir receiver picks up the ir signals from my mce remote. next step is to get the right lirccd.conf file

[rayholland]

now i'm stuck. i have used several lircd.conf files for mce remotes but non give output in irw.

i have this mce remote: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:MCE-Remote-2-v1069.jpg

can anyone provide me a lircd.conf file for this remote? thx

[vajonam]

never mind.. thought i had a conf for you but no dice..

[rayholland]

update:

i have tried to make my own lircd.conf by recording the buttons pressed:
i have tried to recording button 0 and button 1

irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 /tmp/lircd.conf

[rayholland]

ok, we are a step further:

I have to add the missing buttons using mode2 (pfff)

Ok, I have my vista mce remote working with the iMON ir receiver (also working in xbmc). So no need for an extra mce-receiver.

Here's the lircd.conf:


#Lircd.conf for xbmc. No need for custom Lircmap.xml
#Allows my vista RC6 MCE remote (see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:MCE-Remote-2-v1069.jpg) to work with my iMON ir receiver (silverstone ML02/MX)

Next thing todo: setting up LCDProc

Cheers!

[rayholland]

LCDproc up and running.

i only have a 'news flash', every 5 sec. -> ###LCDProc Server ### Cli:1 Scr: 1

Is this normal?

Sorry, found it -> ServerScreen=no in LCDd.conf

Hi RayHolland,

Sorry to bring up this post but I have the same case (Silverstone ML02 with the build in iMON IR/LCD).
And I'm very interested in your configfiles to use the MCE remote with the build in IR!

Can you post your lateste
- lircd.conf
- hardware.conf
- Keymap.xml
- others?

Thank you!!!

[TheBurner]

Im using the Antec Fusion Silver ir/vfd got the vfd up in 5min but for some reason i cannot get any signal picked up from the irw.. I have tried multiple configs im kind of lost

[harrykim23]

@TheBurner:

Do you know this guide?

I have the Antec Fusion with Remote (Black) as well, and following this guide got everything working perfectly.

hi

just wait until today´s evening (german time).

I will up a complete how to (based on 9.11b1 Karmic hdd install with imon LCD and MCE-Remote) with keymap, lircmap, lcdproc, Lircd.conf and hardware.conf
