[SOLVED] No remote on XBian Beta 2

[Jan]

Hello,

I installed Beta 2 and my remote controller is not found any more.

I tried

Terminal

sudo modprobe lirc_rpi
sudo kill $(pidof lircd)
sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0

and got no response at all.
This wasn't the case on the build I had running before that (that latest alpha build, if I remember correctly), where the remote was working nicely.

I have a Panasonic Viera TV set and was using the TV's remote to control XBMC.

How should I proceed?
Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
Jan

lirc_rpi as far as I know is for GPIO remotes (I don't think that was active in Alpha)

See GPIO remotes for GPIO remotes.

Are you sure you have setup XBMC to use your remote?

In the past I never had to do anything. It 'just worked'. And I have nothing connected to my raspi's GPIO, the signal seems to get passed on to the raspi via the hdmi connection. And this since a quite early alpha release (cannot remember anymore which one, but could have been alpha 1).

Ah, I see, I am probing the wrong input here. How would I probe a hdmi connected remote?

CEC is enabled by default, are you sure something hasn't changed on your television configuration?

You are right, everything is working as it should (and always had). There was an issue with my tv set's remote config with it not reading hdmi input. Sorry about that and thanks a lot!

Your welcome, glad you got it sorted out.
