Hi all,

I have an ATI remote Wonder
=> http://www.boro.fr/images/perso/ati_remote_wonder.png

I want to install xbmc live ( full install linux + xbmc ) on a computer.

After the first install ( Live 9.04.1 or Live 9.11-rc1 ) only the arrow keys of the remote are working fine.

On Live 9.04.1, if i follow the Iz- post ( http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=41688 ) the remote is working perfectly !

If i do the same change on Live 9.11-rc1 the remote doesn't work...

I have try many things like copying several files ( .conf, .xml, ... ) from Live 9.04.1 to Live 9.11-rc1 without succes...

I'm a Windows specialist but a real noob on linux so i request for your help.

I don't understand if the problem come from Ubuntu ( lirc ) setup or xbmc setup ... nut the remote react like the keyboard

If i use irw i can't see any remote information but if i press :

0 -> 0
...
9 -> 9
left -> ^[[D
right -> ^[[C
up -> ^[[A
Down -> ^[[B
a -> a
b -> b
c -> c
d -> d
e -> e
f -> f
play / stop, rewind, forward ... -> ^@
ok -> nothing

Thank you for your help and sorry for my english ( i'm french )

After checking the xbmc.log i can find this :

10:07:33 T:3079436176 M:2033328128 INFO: LIRC Initialize: connect failed: No such file or directory
10:07:33 T:3079436176 M:2033328128 DEBUG: Failed to connect to LIRC. Retry in 10s.

And in daemon.log :

Dec 23 10:08:24 XBMCLive lircd-0.8.6[1594]: lircd(default) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
Dec 23 10:10:33 XBMCLive lircd-0.8.6[1594]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
Dec 23 10:10:33 XBMCLive lircd-0.8.6[1594]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
Dec 23 10:10:33 XBMCLive lircd-0.8.6[1594]: default_init(): No such file or directory

Dec 23 10:10:50 XBMCLive lircd-0.8.6[1594]: removed client

So it seems that lirc doesn't work.

Can anybody tell me how to check or fix this ?

I finally solve my problem :

After XBMC Live 9.11-rc1 install open a console ( ctrl+alt+F1 )

Launch : sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc

My choice:
-> ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (userspace)
-> no Transmitter

After that you should have good /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Launch : IRW

Press some remote button and you should have some info like remote name ( ( ati_remote_wonder_rf in my case )

If needed you can restart LIRC : sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

Open the file /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to find the file that LIRC use for your remote ( /usr/share/lirc/remotes/atiusb/lircd.conf.atilibusb in my case )

Open this file and find your remote ( ati_remote_wonder_rf in my case ) you should have something like that :

Code:

begin remote

  name ati_remote_wonder_rf
  bits           40
  eps            30
  aeps          100

  one             0     0
  zero            0     0
  gap            235966
  toggle_bit      0

      begin codes
          0                        0x14DC170000
          1                        0x14D20D0000
          2                        0x14D30E0000
          3                        0x14D40F0000
          4                        0x14D5100000
          5                        0x14D6110000
          6                        0x14D7120000
          7                        0x14D8130000
          ...
      end codes

end remote

Now you just have to open /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml and add a section for your remote like this :

Code:

    <remote device="ati_remote_wonder_rf">
        <play>play</play>
        <pause>pause</pause>
        <stop>stop</stop>
        <forward>forward</forward>
        <reverse>rewind</reverse>
        <left>left</left>
        <right>right</right>
        <up>up</up>
        <down>down</down>
        <select>ok</select>
        <pageplus>chup</pageplus>
        <pageminus>chdown</pageminus>
        <back>c</back>
        <menu>menu</menu>
        <title>d</title>
        <info>timer</info>
        <skipplus>f</skipplus>
        <skipminus>e</skipminus>
        <display>shrink_resize</display>
        <start>a</start>
        <record>rec</record>
        <volumeplus>volup</volumeplus>
        <volumeminus>voldown</volumeminus>
        <mute>mute</mute>
        <power>power</power>
        <myvideo>dvd</myvideo>
        <mytv>tv</mytv>
        <one>1</one>
        <two>2</two>
        <three>3</three>
        <four>4</four>
        <five>5</five>
        <six>6</six>
        <seven>7</seven>
        <eight>8</eight>
        <nine>9</nine>
        <zero>0</zero>
        <enter>check</enter>
    </remote>

It's done
