Howdy all,
I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Revo 3700. I use the team-xbmc-svn PPA for my xbmc installation. I also have a Streamzap PC Remote that I would like to use with xbmc.
However, I can't seem to get the remote to work when I go through the steps on the Streamzap wiki. Here's my steps:
First, I plug in USB receiver.
Second, I install LIRC from the Ubuntu repository:
Third, I start to configure LIRC for the streamzap remote:
Fourth, I select "Streamzap PC Remote" as the receiving device and "None" as the transmitting device in the configuration window, which completes the configuration.
Fifth, I verify that the configuration is correct in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (both are the same as what's listed in the wiki).
Sixth, I restart LIRC:
Seventh, I try to get a signal from the remote by pressing buttons after typing the following command:
There should be input displayed in the terminal as I press the remote buttons, but there is none. The light on the USB receiver blinks when I press a button, and the batteries in the remote are fresh.
Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot?
