I used XBian 1.0 Alpha 5 for long time before I read about how awesome Beta 2.0 is and decided to change to it. So far it's proven to be better than before, faster etc, but my remote controller (Logitech Harmony 300) doesn't work anymore. Has anyone else got this same problem?

@Nakeman

you upgraded or flashed image ?

do you still have old image as backup ?

Flashed and I have backup.

I am using Microsoft Media Player [Microsoft MCE-Keyboard] as device with Harmony.

post your dmesg to pastebin please

Done: http://pastebin.com/1QbsRNGz

@Nakeman

it was you doing the instant disconnects and reconnects on USB port ?

if you leave the receiver in the usb port, what is output of this after clean reboot?

No I once disconnected USB receiver and reconnected it while it was switched off.


My dmesg is bit shorter after few reboots: http://pastebin.com/CkKKRQfM

Also I have my wireless keyboard attached so I can change other settings.

@Nakeman

can you please read this thread (not even two pages) and focus on the posts describing conflict of lirc and ir-keytable ?

report please back if running only lirc or ir-keymap moved you little further.

I think it's easier for me to go back to old version since it works fine. 1.0 Beta 2 was a lot faster in startup but no other significant changes in speed in general. Thanks for all your help. Need to try next beta build and hope if its working then without any additional hustle.

@Nakeman

can you at least post the same outputs as requested before after you restores your Alpha5 ? dmesg + ps aux | grep lirc

Could this be something as simple as a power issue?
How is the IR receiver powered? From the RPi or a HUB. If HUB is it powered?
Can you try with a powered HUB.

@mk01 Too late for that now. I only tried to do this
from that thread you linked and remote controller didn't still work.

Heres dmesg + ps aux | grep lirc from Alpha 5:

@IriDium From RPi. I don't have powered USB HUB. I don't see how that would be the case if it works fine with Alpha 5. I can see red lights flashing at IR receiver when I try pressing buttons on remote contoller, but nothing happens.

EDIT: Flashing beta 2 back to SD card, so I give it another try.

Fresh Beta 2 flash

dmesg: http://pastebin.com/ZYNPucCM


EDIT: I tried irw and pressed buttons randomly and 2 buttons worked (Menu and Info):

Bump. (Too early?) I haven't found anything new from internet which could help with this problem. I dind't need to do anything to get remote controller work with Alpha 5.

Here is ps aux | grep lirc
But not working =/
