MS RC6 Remote help - cklemmer - 8th Jun, 2013 01:35 PM
I've just set up xbian 1.0a5 and I'm trying to get my fairly standard Microsoft RC6 style remote working well. The directional arrows and enter button work just fine with no modifications to the configuration, but most of the buttons don't work.
I've followed the configuring a remote wiki article, but get stuck at step 2. irw doesn't output anything when I press buttons on the remote, even the direction buttons that are working. Many of the buttons do send key sequences to the console if I exit Xbian. Looking for pointers on how to get all these controls working and to be able to remap them (back button to esc, OK to enter, etc) I've sunk 4 hours into this and am at a loss...

I gave up and went with CEC. That seems to work well.

I have a Philips SRM5100 and i'm using it's own USB IR receptor and have the same problem here. It seems that de remote is being recognized as a keyboard, so it's using the keyboard.xml instead of the remote.xml (both files found in /usr/local/share/xbmc/system/keymaps).
Any ideas on how to solve this?

I'm trying to use a Philips SRM5100 remote control with its own USB receiver. It worked fine on Raspbmc, but on Xbian it's not working properly. The arrows act as it should be, but de OK and back buttons doesn't. Any ideas about how to fix this?

Enable debug logging, http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_file/Advanced#Enable_debugging
Then login through ssh and fall back to command line (by exiting xbian-config) and enter the following command:
Code:
tail -f ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.logNow press some buttons and see what the says. If you post your log here please use pastebin.com .

Hi
I also have this problem with my Philips RC6 remote "Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:060c)"
, it works out of the box in xbmcbuntu but not in XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1.
The arrow keys work but not ok/back and the other buttons.
I added include "/etc/lirc/remotes/mceusb.conf" to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
But that did not help.
dmesg
http://pastebin.com/cgad9n9Y
lsusb & /proc/bus/input/devices
http://pastebin.com/8vc3Gs19
Code:
xbian@xbian ~ $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep 'Media Center Ed.' | wc -l
1
xbian@xbian ~ $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -m 1 -A 4 'Media Center Ed.' | grep -o event[0-9] | sed -e 's/event//g'
2irw only responds to the arrow keys but mode2 shows all key presses.
Anyone got a clue how to get it running?

I have the same issues at this moment after updating to 1.1
With Alpha 5 it worked perfectly, after the fresh install of Beta 1.1 the arrows work, but none of the OK and Exit buttons
Also asking for a clue to get it running again.

^Same problem with 1.1
I have a HP Media windows media center remote (5070-2583). With Alpha 4 and 5 it worked perfectly, no modification to settings. After the fresh install of Beta 1.1 the arrows work, but none of the other buttons (from what I can tell). Mainly the OK and Exit.
Are there additional settings that need to be set now, or is this a bug in Beta 1.1? I found one person ask the question in the Release forum, but no answers.

Can the mceusb guys restart lirc once and then run irw again to see if the buttons are recognized?
Code:
service lirc restart

RE: MS RC6 Remote help - CurlyMo - 25th Jul, 2013 11:10 PM
Can you put the /etc/init.d/lircd.conf on pastebin and post the link?
RE: MS RC6 Remote help - aleocidio - 29th Jul, 2013 12:45 AM
I updated to Beta 1.1 and now the IR receiver is being mounted as /media/dev0 instead of /dev/lirc0

Please don't post new information, but help me with debugging by answering my questions.
