Issues with Logitech Harmony

[CurlyMo]

Can you check if this works and post all output:

Code:

sudo modprobe mceusb
sudo modprobe lirc_dev
sudo service lirc restart
ls -Al /dev/lirc*
mode2

@CurlyMo

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ ls -Al /dev/lirc*
crw-rw---T 1 root video 248, 0 Dec 4 15:59 /dev/lirc0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 4 23:35 /dev/lircd -> ../var/run/lirc/lircd
xbian@xbian ~ $ mode2
mode2: could not open /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): Permission denied

I also tried sudo mode2 but it didn't do anything, just waited for something.

[CurlyMo]

And when you pushed buttons when mode2 was running?

[Nakeman]

@CurlyMo after sudo mode2, but nothing happened - not even with Menu and Info.

[CurlyMo]

And if you do:

Code:

sudo mode2 --device=/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/rc/rc0/input1

Can you also post the output of:

Code:

ls -Al /dev/input/

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo mode2 --device=/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/rc/rc0/input1

[CurlyMo]

Can you try:

Code:

sudo mode2 --device=/dev/input/event0

And then for each event listed?

[Nakeman]

@CurlyMo

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo mode2 --device=/dev/input/event0
[sudo] password for xbian:
mode2: could not get hardware features
mode2: this device driver does not support the LIRC ioctl interface
mode2: did you mean to use the devinput driver instead of the default driver?

[CurlyMo]

And what about the other events

[Nakeman]

@CurlyMo Same.

[CurlyMo]

The wierd thing is that this was how i implemented it in Alpha 5 Let me think...

[mk01]

we still can have install Aplha5 package, right ?

and last last shot in to dark

if it is rc6 type ir receiver doesn't need it also rc6 decoder ir-rc6-decoder.ko ?

[CurlyMo]

The problem is that certain modules aren't loaded by default anymore in the kernel. The same counted for the serial support in Beta 2. Suddenly was removed because it was moved from the kernel built-in to a kernel module. I think the same happened here, but i don't know what module is missing.

I have been lurking in the shadows on this thread, following along

I am on beta 2 with an HP MCE 6 remote, and a GPIO IR reciever. I have followed most of the steps on this thread and finally saw something when I ran these commands from CurlyMo, and added mceusb.conf to the lircd.conf file.

The problem is, now when I press a button on the remote, it appears that it may be inputed twice, at least when I am using the arrows. It will move over twice or up/down twice when I press the arrow buttons. Why would this be? Do I need to delete one of the lirc modules from the kernel with modprobe -r?

I did get to a point where only the arrow buttons were working but nothing else, but now other buttons seem to be working, it's just the arrows get pressed twice.

I appreciate your help!

[CurlyMo]

Just remove the arrows from either the XBMC Lircmap.xml or mceusb.conf.
