Hello again.
(Running Ubuntu 10.4 & xbmc 10.0 Beta2 r33778 Compiled Sep 14)
Little history: I've been working on my remote for 3 days. I couldn't get it to work in live or in ubuntu. After much reading I found this post http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remot...ding_using_CVS. I followed the directions and installed irc-0.8.7pre2 and got it working. Now when I use sudo irw i get back ...37ff07be9 00 Play mceusb. (and so on) Good news Right! I made sure I had Lircmap.xml in the userdata folder with mceusb as the remote name.
But, I still can't get it to work in XBMC. In the log I see...
LIRC Initialize: using /dev/lircd
LIRC Initialize: connection failed: No such File or directory
So my guess is I need to change the location xbmc is looking for Lircd (if available) I didn't see anything about it on the advancedsettings.xml page. Or, I need to redo my Lirc install to the location that matches XBMC.
After a seach I have two Lircd, one at /usr/local/sbin and one at /usr/src/lirc.0.8.7pre2/daemons.
Also, I double check the lircd.conf and it lists three remote types, one after the other, is that right or should I delete everything NOT under mceusb?
By the way I always have to use sudo before running irw, is that normal, right? I also need to autoload lirc_mceusb2 at startup. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
I know almost nothing about linux, so please go easy.
