XBMC Live and Antec Micro Fusion 350

I have never managed to get it to turn off. In the lcdd.conf i've selected to display the time on shut-down, which it seems to do on the odd occasion randomly when it wants too. If i select to keep the 'good-bye' message it keeps this on the display every time, it seems buggy?

However i always hibernate my system (mapped my remote power to hibernate), and this turns off the LCD. Hope this is good enough for you? If not then i don't know of anyone managing to get it to stay off when actually shutting down.

Ok this bit is perfectly right and indicated the remote is working and the machine is picking up the signals. The problem must be with the lircmap.xml or the location of it.

Quote:copied your map file but nothing happen on xbmc interface.. why ?

Put the Lircmap.xml in the local location instead, as this has higher priority.

I think the location is:

Code:

/home/{username}/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

Where username is your user, you probably made the user "xbmc".

So just nano the location above copy my lircmap.xml into it, press Ctrl+x then 'Y' then Enter.

Now reboot xbmc and see if this works? Get back to me of not, i'll be in a better position to help Monday evening as i'll be back with my HTPC so can give you a better indication of paths; though I think this is right.

What can i say ? Just thank you. it works perfect.

Another question Nebula. I have also a MCE remote from my sony Vaio VCG-LA2 (i think it is a standard MCE Remote ) i f i would like to use it instead of the Veris Remote for using more buttons, do you have a guide for me or maybe some step to try ?
Great job anyway.

microchip1974 · 2010-05-01 21:16

the remote code maybe can help. is RM-MCE20E
i've found this but i don't know if can help.

I don't have a guide but I can give you a step by step. Firstly if it is standard MCE yes it should work. Secondly its better to have a keymap (lircd.conf) already, do you have the model of the remote; if its simply just Viao then i may have the keymap:
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/sony/VaioRemote

Otherwise you can search through here for your remote:
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/

Other than that you will need to change the lirc.conf and the hardware.conf. In the lirc.conf change the ir_protocol: from 0 to 1.

From here run the irrecord command and do a few (not all) of the buttons. Then copy what you think is the correct keymap (lircd.conf) and test with irw until you get output. Then from here you will have to create another remote in Lircmap.xml with the name of the remote eg. for the viao remote above it would be:

Code:

<remote device="Sony_VaioRemote">

    <power>BUTTON IN KEYMAP</power>

    <play>BUTTON IN KEYMAP</play>

         etc...

<remote>

Let me know if you get stuck.

Indeed use this .conf as it is your one and do the steps as I explain just above. Good luck and get back to me on the result or if you have a problem.

Thanks you for your guide.

i add also some hint from another thread and it works.

microchip1974 · 2010-05-04 09:30

i would like to sugges to Nebula Odyssey to buy an IR6 MCE remote instead of the little Veris. i've found a big raise of the IR range and obviuosly the amount of buttons helps a lot using XBMC

Hi, i can't use any key on Mce remote for open the context menu. in my Lircmap.xml i added this strings between the others but no reaction when i push MCE button.

<ContextMenu>WindowsMCE</ContextMenu>

when i press MCE button irw tells

800f040d000002ae 00 WindowsMCE MCE_via_iMON
800f040d000002ae 01 WindowsMCE MCE_via_iMON

what's wrong ?
Than you.
