My Harmony is set up as a Windows Media Center. Let me know if you need any details.

please be sure you don't have "lirc_rpi" line in /etc/modules. then try to reboot. post dmesg. if remote is still "dead", try putting "mceusb" into /etc/modules and reboot (and post dmesg).

also please provide output of:

Still nothing.

I'm at a point where I'd conside a USB-based IR receiver anyone knows will work - any suggestions? Nothing works here. Thanks!

@jphebert

are you sure you put mceusb into /etc/modules?

there should be line like this be present in dmesg:

"usbcore: registered new interface driver mceusb"

Here is the dump: http://pastebin.com/NiE7Jf4s

Yup all I got is:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

mceusb

@jphebert

ok, after hour googling - iridium was right with lirc_rpi module in /etc/modules, but on top of it "ir-lirc-codec" is required as well.


@IriDium

GPIO receiver can't be detected so won't be reported in dmesg.

…


the day will be needed when someone brave will send the equipment to me ready to receive it back month later.

Hey guys

Thanks - still no IR action. Here is the DMESG: http://pastebin.com/SmserzHs

My /modules file is now:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

modprobe lirc_rpi
modprobe ir-lirc-codec
mceusb

BTW if you know of a USB IR connector that works out of the box with XBian, let me know I'll order one.

I know CPC do one for the RPi Flicr I've never used it so can't comment. It seems to work on the RPi but Xbian I don't know. It should but I am not going to commit myself. Maybe wait a bit and see if anyone else has any ideas.

See RPi Hardware

I have HP USB MCE IR Wireless Receiver. It worked out of the box with XBian Alpha 5 but with Beta 2 it doesn't work.

Thanks - any idea why the HP one stopped working? Just ordered one anyway - will will work sooner or later again

I don't have any idea. Here is what I have tried so far to get it working again: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1834.html

I think that receiver works fine but XBian has problems to understand it.

Can you do the following and post the output:

@CurlyMo I get this with cat /proc/bus/input/devices: http://pastebin.com/AjjYzHeE

Still only Menu and Info buttons communication with RPi.

@mk01 Replugging doesn't have any effect.

Can you now do:

And then press some buttons.

@CurlyMo Only Menu and Info working.
