Lirc oddness

Hi all
I've got a Zalman case which has a built in remote receiver.
I have got this kind of working... as in I can see commands arriving in IRW, but xmbc doesn't see anything at all.
Nothing has been created in /dev/ircd0 either.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, which I (now) understand has 'issues' with lirc. Great.

Any tips on how I get this thing configured?

I'm not stupid by any stretch of the imagination, but I have to say the lirc documentation leaves a lot to be desired

Any tips gratefully received!

This will show you your devices.

You'll have to review your hardware.conf file and lircd.conf file and edit accordingly.

And you'll need a working ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml file.
And ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml file.

To me the good news is your ir remote / reciever works. I would be more helpful as in the exact location of the config files, but, I don't use Ubuntu.

Checkout the xbmc wiki for Lirc and also Lircmap.xml for more help.

Good luck....

Hey there.
Thanks for the tip.
I'm not sure how/why but the device config was wrong.
I also don't understand why IRW would show the commands arriving if that config was incorrect, but I guess now it's working, I don't need to worry too much
Cheers!
