MCE IR Controller "Cypress USB Keyboard" not working - equildi - 14th Mar, 2013 09:23 PM
Hi,
I use the latest XBian 1.0a5 with XBMC 12.0, straight from the installer. Unfortunately my remote that acts as MCE remote does not work with it.
The IR receiver identified itself as Cypress Semiconductor Corp. Cino FuzzyScan F760-B in lsusb and is then mapped to /dev/input/event1 by udev.
I subsequently tried to force XBian using an MCE setup by copying /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb_event1.conf to /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf (this is loaded first, right?) but the remote still doesn't work.
Furthermore: mode2 fails to start after a reboot, if I issue modprobe lirc_rpi it starts but outputs nothing and hangs (i..e. doesn't return to command prompt).
dmesg says
[ 1371.895114] usb 1-1.3: USB disconnect, device number 5

Any hints?

Can you turn on debugging mode, disable cec, press keys on your remote and then post the xbmc.log from here:
Code:
/home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.logRE: MCE IR Controller "Cypress USB Keyboard" not working - equildi - 16th Mar, 2013 11:41 PM
These are the relevant entries in xbmc.log:

Upon pressing buttons on the remote, I get no further output in log file though. The lirc bypass thing is funny, but this gets created by lirc automatically. Disabling lirc alltogether doesn't help either.

Did you already follow my guide on the xbian wiki?
