Remote not working - Tutorial doesn't help

[Tommiiee]

Hi,

For the record: I'm using Xbian 1.0a4 with XBMC 12.0.

My TV remote seems unable to control XBMC. I've followed the tutorial (Configuring a remote), but "mode2" just gives errors like

Code:

root@xbian:/home/xbian# mode2
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

Trying 'irw' outputs nothing, and irrecord says

Code:

root@xbian:/home/xbian# irrecord /home/xbian/remote.conf

irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

irrecord: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
irrecord: default_init(): No such file or directory
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)

I searched the forums and tried this: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-414-post-4192.html#pid4192

But that gives me no output either when pressing buttons.

However, it's not like the remote does NOTHING. When I use it, it just 'shifts' the screen. To the left, right, top, bottom. The screen just shifts out of frame instead of just handling the menu.

Can you guys help me out here, because it would be great if I could control XBian with a remote.

Thanks.

Tom
