xbmc and remotes
#1
just can't get the remotes to work. i have 2 remotes, recommended by newegg and neither work. i have installed ubuntu 9.10 and the latest version of xbmc, but remotes do not work.

funny thing is they work inthe live distro, buit not when i install to disc.

The Live version has Lirc already configured for the MS remote. If you use your own installation of Ubuntu you'll need to install and configure Lirc.

If you download and build the latest SVN version of XBMC it will work with any remotes that send keystrokes e.g. the Speedlink, VRC-1100 or "unbranded remote" shown in http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Remote_Control_Reviews. The most recent builds can be a bit flaky as there is a lot of development going on. If you check out build 26407 this is the oldest build that has the remote support included.
