some key not working on Custom remote - lehulk - 4th Jan, 2015 09:39 AM

Hello,

I installed the new RC3. But I cannot get some key working. I created (attached) lircd.conf (in /etc/lirc/) and Lircmap.xml (in /usr/local/share/xbmc/system) files with all the keys.

The irw command gives me the correct key name each time I press a key (for all keys), BUT in xbmc only numbers, enter and arrows seems to work.
do you have any idea ?

Regards

not sure but shouldn't you alter

Code:

/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml

too? I know that changes in this files affecting CEC remote but not sure about IR remote as I never had one to try

Hello,

Good news, the problem was errors in my Lircmap.xml file (I see it in xbmc.log).
All is working now.

Thank you
Regards

IR-Remote: not all keys are recognized in xbmc - Groormat - 8th Jan, 2015 12:36 AM

Hi there,

i connected my IR-reciever-diode to gpio 18 and set up everything. Then i mapped all keys rom my cheap china-remote:

Code:

begin remote

  name  china_xboxremote

  bits           13

  flags RC6|CONST_LENGTH

  eps            30

  aeps          100

  header       2667   897

  one           433   444

  zero          433   444

  pre_data_bits   24

  pre_data       0x1BFF80

  gap          109067

  min_repeat 1

  suppress_repeat 5

  toggle_bit_mask 0x8000

  rc6_mask    0x100000000

      begin codes

          KEY_OPEN                 0x0BD7

          KEY_POWER                0x0BF3

          KEY_PLAY                 0x0BE9

          KEY_STOP                 0x0BE6

          KEY_PAUSE                0x0BE7

          KEY_REWIND               0x0BEA

          KEY_FORWARD              0x0BEB

          KEY_AGAIN                0x0BE4

          KEY_NEXT                 0x0BE5

          KEY_DISPLAYTOGGLE        0x0BB0

          KEY_BACK                 0x0BDC

          KEY_MENU                 0x0BDB

          KEY_TITLE                0x0BAE

          KEY_INFO                 0x0BF0

          KEY_OK               0x0BDD

          KEY_UP                   0x0BE1

          KEY_DOWN                 0x0BE0

          KEY_LEFT                 0x0BDF

          KEY_RIGHT                0x0BDE

          KEY_RECORD               0x0BE8

          KEY_Y                    0x0BD9

          KEY_X                    0x0B97

          KEY_A                    0x0B99

          KEY_B                    0x0BDA

          KEY_CONNECT              0x0B9B

      end codes

end remote

Using

Terminal

irw

i recieve all commands successfully.

But i cant make xbmc recognize all keys. Some are working, some are not.
Working keys are: Up, down, left, right, play, stop, back, red (key_b)

Using Lircmap.xml was no success. There were no change in behavior at all.

I also tried the xbmc-addon "keymap editor", where i can select an action and press the button to map them. Same problem here: xbmc dont recognize the buttons. There is NO reaction on the "dead" keys. The working ones are fine, btw. It looks that the signal is not passed to xbmc at all, while i can see it monitoring irw.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks. On some spooky way it worked. I dont know why.

I added my lircmap-settings to /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml, rebooted. No change at all. So i removed my changes and rebooted. Bam. Buttons are working! Magic? I dont know.
