Forum - remote only works on xbmc (not system) restart

Hello,
I have xbian RC2 and i've managed to setup a gpio ir receiver with lirc which is an absolute pain and took way too long. the problem is it only works if i "stop xbmc" and "start xbmc" again from ssh

anyway through perserverance i do the following to get ir working from a clean xbian RC2

Setp 1: add "lirc_rpi gpio_in_pin=14" to /etc/modules

Setp 2: mv /etc/lirc/hardware/lirc_rpi.conf /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Step 3: remove -u from LIRCD_ARGS="-u" in above file (fixes double input glitch)

Step 4: copy my lircd.conf to /etc/lirc/

My lircd.conf (Click to View)

Step 5: copy my Lircmap.xml to /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata

Code:

So, after restart of system, irw allways shows up fine but xbmc only responds after ssh stop/start.

Fixed it by delaying xbmc start
Modified /etc/init/xbmc-preload.conf

"start on starting mountall"
to
"start on stopping mountall and started networking and net-device-up wlan0"

This is a known issue waiting to be fixed. Can you maybe add it on github to bring it to mk01's attention again?

It broke my xbian startup.

Then I tried just "start on stopping mountall" and "start on stopping mountall and started networking", but same problem with remote control. I'm running Xbian RC2 and this remote control issue is really annoying since it makes me have to ssh and restart xbmc service each time I reboot xbian.
