Using XBMC in the version that was installed with Ubuntu 10.10...

Yesterday my wireless remote arrived ...

http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/MzIyODcyOTk...r_X10.html

This remote is sold in germany by Pollin-Elektronik. It uses a 433MHz-system for transmission. It is a medion-product, propably sold with ALDI-computers, now available for about 8 euros.

I have found many things in google, and after some hours i got the first results.

The first problem was that XBMC did not recognize any lirc, something had changed in lirc, so the startup-command for xbmc had to be changed to:

xbmc --lircdev /var/run/lirc/lircd

I changed this for the icon and the autostart-command i had inserted, then my remote was recognized by xbmc.

The second problem was that i could not get the "back"-key to work. The command bound to that key was written with two upper case characters. After hours of searching i tried to change all characters to lower case, and yes, that was the solution...

Now all functions work nearly as expected. The only thing is that when i use my normal keyboard, the "Backspace"-key works in every circumstance, the back-button of the remote does not. I can exit the fullscreen-video with the backspace-key, the video keeps on running as a mini-creen, i can scroll the filelist then. I will try to search the keyboard-xml-file for the solution of that thing.

I am writing this on my windows-computer, but will upload my lirc-configs and my xml-files when i start my mediacenter today or tomorow, so be patient

I will add a list of links to some websites i have used, too ...
