Yeah, this didn't do anything but turn the internal receiver off. No difference in the external.
I've back out the changes you suggested in your last post so we're back to where we started. Nothing has worked so far.

WTF
One more idea (I got last night):
Everything is working, but a proper Lircmap.xml is missing.
So, please do following (with still disabled local IR receiver in a SSH session:
Phase 1:
1) make sure that lirc is started
2) make sure that device /dev/lirc0 is available
3) start irw
4) hit some buttons on your remote control
You have to see an output like this:
Code:
root@kmxbimx / # stop lirc
lirc stop/waiting
root@kmxbimx / # ls -la /dev/lirc0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 237, 0 Mär 3 12:31 /dev/lirc0
root@kmxbimx / # start lirc
lirc start/running
root@kmxbimx / # irw

I'm at the office at the moment, but every time I've tried this in the past (with suggestions and instructions from other threads), it hasn't worked. It's not picking up key presses. The red light on the IR receiver blinks when a key is pressed, but nothing has registered so far. I'll let you know what happens when I get home, but I'm not hopeful.
RE: Haupagge MCE Remote does not work - Nachteule - 4th Mar, 2016 02:29 AM
I don't like to hear such bad news
To get some more infos, I modified the file /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Could you please grab it from here and replace it with the origin?
The output will be logged in /var/log/upstart/lirc.log

Would it make you feel better or worse to hear I've decided to pick up an NVidia Shield Pro and a Logitech Harmony 350 and go that route?
RE: Haupagge MCE Remote does not work - Nachteule - 4th Mar, 2016 05:16 AM
Oh no, but it's your decision
RE: Haupagge MCE Remote does not work - WishX - 4th Mar, 2016 05:26 AM
If it's any consolation, I do love Xbian and, despite the remote control issue, do consider it an excellent media center distro for cubox! Thanks so much for all your patience and assistance day after day. You're an asset to the community!
RE: Haupagge MCE Remote does not work - Nachteule - 4th Mar, 2016 07:07 AM
Thanks, but I'm convinced that this is only a tiny issue and could be solved in minutes - if I would have direct access to the hardware. And it makes me really frustrating not to know where the culprit is ...
RE: Haupagge MCE Remote does not work - greenbag - 8th Mar, 2016 07:00 PM
I have the exact same remote, and it works using an ir receiver connected to gpio. I also have the silver MCE RC6 remote, but the keys were double clicking, and the tiny credit card sized remote for my Hauppauge 950Q usb tuner's select button wouldn't work. So.. I searched out a Hauppauge-350.conf, then worked with that, creating a few files suggested on some wiki.
Code:
nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
include "/etc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge-350.conf"/etc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge-350.conf

</keymap>Although it's working with my RC6 gpio remotes, this also fixed my RC5 usb tuner remote. I haven't tried it with the actual usb dongle box with the RC6 remotes yet, but my guess is the keymap is all that's needed. I'll test it tomorrow.
There's a few more steps in my notes, but I can't remember if I needed to use them or not.
