I create a fullmap with (irrecord -a) - doesn't work - xbian ignores the conf file.

I found the problem.

I create /etc/lirc/remotes/mceusb.conf with this content.

Edit /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Code:

#include "/etc/lirc/remotes/devinput.conf"
#include "/etc/lirc/remotes/xbox.conf"
#include "/etc/lirc/remotes/smt1000t.conf"
#include "/etc/lirc/remotes/srm7500.conf"
include "/etc/lirc/remotes/mceusb.conf"

Your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Code:

...
    elif [ $(dmesg | grep mceusb | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then
        if [ $(cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep 'Media Center Ed.' | wc -l) -gt 0 ]; then
            if [ $(cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -m 1 -A 4 'Media Center Ed.' | grep -o event[0-9] | sed -e 's/event//g') -eq 0 ]; then
                . /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb_event0.conf
            elif [ $(cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -m 1 -A 4 'Media Center Ed.' | grep -o event[0-9] | sed -e 's/event//g') -eq 1 ]; then
                . /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb_event1.conf
            elif [ $(cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -m 1 -A 4 'Media Center Ed.' | grep -o event[0-9] | sed -e 's/event//g') -eq 2 ]; then
                . /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb_event2.conf
            else
                . /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb.conf
            fi
        else
            . /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb.conf
        fi
...

Code:

root@else ~ # cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep 'Media Center Ed.' | wc -l
1
root@else ~ # cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -m 1 -A 4 'Media Center Ed.' | grep -o event[0-9] | sed -e 's/event//g'
0

Ok, lirc use /etc/lirc/hardware/mceusb_event0.conf
I edit following lines ...

Code:

DRIVER="devinput"

to

Code:

#DRIVER="devinput"

... , ...

Code:

DEVICE="/dev/input/event1"

to

Code:

DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"

... and it works!

But, the cursor keys UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER are recognized by xbmc twice - when i stop lirc, then works only the cursor keys UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER.

Happy bug fixing!

I'll stick with RaspBMC - everything works out-of-the-box!
