[SOLVED] Haupagge MCE Remote does not work

[greenbag]

I have the exact same remote, and it works using an ir receiver connected to gpio. I also have the silver MCE RC6 remote, but the keys were double clicking, and the tiny credit card sized remote for my Hauppauge 950Q usb tuner's select button wouldn't work. So.. I searched out a Hauppauge-350.conf, then worked with that, creating a few files suggested on some wiki.

Code:

nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
include "/etc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge-350.conf"

/etc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge-350.conf

Code:

Although it's working with my RC6 gpio remotes, this also fixed my RC5 usb tuner remote. I haven't tried it with the actual usb dongle box with the RC6 remotes yet, but my guess is the keymap is all that's needed. I'll test it tomorrow.

There's a few more steps in my notes, but I can't remember if I needed to use them or not.

Quote:remote.xml - this is the config file we want to work with. Make a copy of this file located int /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps and place it in
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps

Code:

sudo -i
echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules
nano /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

nano /etc/lirc/hardware/lirc_rpi.conf

Change the line LIRCD_ARGS="-u" to LIRCD_ARGS=""
