Remote sending keyboard presses..help..needed

Zemy Wrote:Is it really so that no one has any idea to provide to this?
I have understood that the most not so expensive "MCE" remotes/receivers are acting like this mine..sending keyboard presses and combinations.

Try to set up the remote with inputlircd. Read through this guide at the wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Hama_MCE_Remote
I'm pretty sure you can adapt it to get your remote working

Why are you all talking about LIRC ? He may not even have a Infrared receiver...

Does your remote have an IR receiver or is it just a RF dongle (about the size of a pen drive) acting like a usb keyboard as his first post seems to imply?

That's why I'm talking about inputlircd. It's a lirc daemon for input devices....

@Zemy, let me know how that new IR works for you please!

Hi Imre,

I have not had time much to play with this. I liked that König remote as how it feels and so on. So I would like to use it as default if possible. I have noticed that there has been a lot of improvements with SVN builds recently and many much more functions work right away without any modifications.

Although some basic functions like remote sending CTRL+m or CTRL+e
doesnt give any response from XBMC.

I have tried to ask in another thread advices which files I should modify with current SVN versions on Lucid to get the functionality available. But no luck yet. There is hundreds of advices available all around and most of them are out of date. There is remote.xml, keymap.xml, lircmap.xml etc etc to use and modify an also thyare located some different locations...

So for me it is very confusing to find out which way could be the right and most simpliest way to get those non-working buttons on remote to work with XBMC. If there is some "wise" guy or girl that could help with this case....
I would appreciate a lot.

I have tried Windows 7 and everything works right out of the box. Performance is good, both Windows as well as XBMC and all buttons work without modification. Only thing is, I installed a nightly build of XBMC because it supports XDPA, which is necessary for HD playback.

I have the Konig to and it work mostly right out of the box.

I love the speed of the remote, and it works without Lirc.

Only thing i did was tail the log file : tail -f /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
Then Onkey is the keycode that needs to be in you keyboard.xml and your done.

Some of the buttons have 2 numbers when you press them, the first one was the same as another button so i chose the second number to use in keyboard.xml (not at home so cant remember witch button it was)

Hope this helps..
