Hi,
I know there are a million other threads about this, believe me, I've read them, as well as the wiki and the "How-to's". I still can't get this working.
I'm using XBMC r26018 on a fresh install of mythbuntu 9.10 and the MS mce remote. The remote worked great straight out of the box. I'm just trying to customise of few buttons. As this remote has no "Menu" button, I thought I'd program the "Hash" (#) button to act as the menu button so I can access context menus.
So, following all the guides and other threads I copied the Lircmap.xml from /usr/share/xbmc/system to ~/.xbmc/userdata and copied remote.xml from /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps to ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps. I edited the new Lircmap.xml and simply changed the line:
"<title>Guide</title>"
to
"<title>Hash</title>".
By my reckoning that should be it? But nothing...
Here is my entire ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml:
and my ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml:
And my debug log here.
I suspect that my Lircmap.xml is not being read but can't confirm this and have no idea why this would be the case.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

<!-- To map keys from other remotes using the RCA protocol, you may add <universalremote> blocks -->

<!-- To find out the OBC's of your remote, try enabling the <displayremotecodes> tag in AdvancedSettings.xml -->

<!-- eg <B>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</B> -->

<!-- 'id' is the button ID used by SDL. Joystick button ids of connected joysticks appear -->
