Will the Boxee Box Remote work with XBMC (on any hardware other than the Boxee Box?)?

Good to know. Sounds like a great remote.

Hi,

does anyone know a reliable UK reseller for this remote?

Amazon doesn't ship to the UK?

<key id="61628">ToggleFullScreen</key>

When remapping, be sure to check the debug log to see what command the XBMC devs used for the original key

Yeah that's how I got that one. I think I checked a forum somewhere to get the command it should be sending though. I'll try adding "toggle" to it when I get home. Thank you for your response.

Is there a list of keys and commands I can use for my xml file?

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to do this.

I'm slogging through a Mythbuntu setup and would like to use a Universal MX-810 for a remote. I have an infrared receiver that, I'm guessing, will essentially plug and play. I'm at a loss as to how to set up this remote and saw your post that appeared to indicate you had already seen this movie. So, I was wondering if you would be kind enough to lend some insight into the process.

It looks like an interesting remote because of the RF and keyboard function.
Now i use the PS3 remote with bluetooth.

After reading this topic i still got one question. Is it possible to boot up xbmc live from the remote?

Recieved my Boxee remote today.

I use XBMC Live 10.1 it is based on Ubuntu 10.04.
The patch that is provided a few pages back, is for Ubuntu 10.10
I could install the XBMC Freak version. I tested it myself and the patch does work.
But i prefer the original stable XBMC Live.
Is there anyone that can help me fixing this?

If this remote has a gyro to enable the keyboard, how well does it work sideways?

No before you think why would you use it sideways, I lie on the couch watching TV and often have the remote near my hand and it gets used sideways while I am lying down. If this remote turns off the downward facing keys, then I need to know how it responds to being used sideways.

Is there a simple guide to getting it to work with live/freaks or openelec installs. I have never delved into the xml file for setting up a remote. I see you assign a key ID to a keyboard keystroke, but how do you get the key id?
