I need some help to configure a CEC remote on my samsung tv, I followed the tutorial on the web site (http://www.xbian.org/2012/12/configuring-a-remote/) but I dont get any output when I run mode2 so I suppose my remote isnt recognize because the tutorial says:

Quote:If mode2 doesn’t output anything, then your remote isn’t recognized by the system.Ask for support so we can figure out what the right hardware.conf should be.

Thank you very much

you are a bit confused here m8. If you use a CEC, so means the remote from your TV by using a CEC protocol (libCEC) than you should not edit the files you have been trying as those procedures are for the remote controls connected to RPi into USB ports or even GPIO and these are like IR remotes or others.
So the CEC should work out of the box if your TV supports it. And sometimes, but not often some of the buttons are not mapped, but than you edit the /remote.xml file.

Hoooo, ok ok, sorry...
But that doesn't change the fact that my remote doesn't work. I just get errors like: not available or it doesn't do anything.
I don't know if my TV supports CEC, but I don't have a remote.xml file...
