Hello Guys.

I have been looking around and trying to fix this issue myself and be able to use my TV remote control but no way to succeed so I decided to ask for your help.

I have a 22" Philips TV with Easy link function on it so I would assume that I can used its remote control for my raspberry pi but as said I cannot.

I tried to follow the instruction on wiki to configure a remote (http://xbian.org/2012/12/configuring-a-remote/) but I get this output when I "mode2":
root@xbian:~# /etc/init.d/lirc stop
[ ok ] Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC:.
root@xbian:~# mode2
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

so I believe the problem is in the hardware.conf file.

here my remote control

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks in advance.

you was trying to edit the wrong part as that apply only for infra red remotes.
CEC is a different story and use different modules.
Not sure if we going to be able help with this as the CEC device have to have support in libCEC what is maintained by Pulse-eight guys.
I can have a look more into it once I get home from work

Ok. clear. FYI when xbmc starts I get the message Pulse.. CEC Adapter Connected: TV

So the connection seems to be in place.

Hope you can help. Thanks anyway

will try
make sure you have your Easy link enabled on TV as on some models you need to turn it ON

yes it is ON

FYI I have another raspberry connected to a Samsung Smart TV and it works very well. I did not need to do anything. Just added a remote.xml to add some more function on the colored buttons.

Hope I can get the same result on this older TV. I prefer to use TV remote control rather than using my iPhone that consumes battery or Web browser app.

Please let me know if you need any help or xbmc log files. Thanks again

it did not fix the issue on my Philips 22PFL3404D12. It says that TV is connected but if I try to navigate with my TV remote control I see only the screen moving in all directions.

So it interprets the arrow buttons as a mouse

@Koenkk @CurlyMo please check latest reply from https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/issues/109 and hope to see it out soon and also available on next xbian alpha.

I think it is good to know for the developer that the keys are recognized but only wrongly.

The instructions I provided installs the latest libcec (the one opdenkamp is talking about)
