remote help, some buttons not working

[m-unit]

hmm it downloaded just the same. It seemed to download the first time as well, but I still get that error about it being no in gzip format.

[CurlyMo]

Then manually download it copy it with winscp:

[m-unit]

alright. got the method in post 170 to install, but no difference. I get basic arrows and enter buttons, but no back or ok functionality.

Also tried the last post from this thread: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/71#issuecomment-10929474

same result.

[CurlyMo]

Can you try this post:

[m-unit]

I also tried that method. It didn't seem to make any difference. I get the arrow buttons and enter, but no back or ok buttons.

thank you for your efforts

[CurlyMo]

Can you post the output of

Code:

dmesg

and while pressing some buttons:

Code:

irw

Also:

Code:

ls -Al /etc/lirc/remotes/

And as last:

Code:

sudo apt-get install usbutils
sudo lsusb

I was unable to get irw to do anything oddly. I also had trouble with the next to things you listed as well.

it appears this is beyond my abilities so I'll just have to wait for more skilled people to work on it.

I just installed the newest version of xbian, rc 4, and the remote (rc6 mce) is still not operating correctly.
I will post the outputs after I sleep. But I can tell you its appears to be exactly the same buttons that do
NOT work: back, mute, volume down, play, stop, fw, rew

Follow my remote setup guide on our wiki.

ok, well that was obviously the first place I looked but nothing worked.. thats why I posted

Using "irw", "mode2" does not show any output at all. "irrecord" says it couldn't find /dev/lirc0

At the prompt if I press the numbers buttons sans command line tool it types "1 2 3... and so on",
which leads me to ask; Is it possible the device is being incorrectly detected as only a HID or would the xorg / x11
"take control" of it, and not parsing the input to lirc/xmbc?

[CurlyMo]

Can you post the output of:

Code:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

[freeballer]

Code:

[CurlyMo]

Can you run this code (if the first command outputted '0' then it was successful)

Code:

sed -i 's/\. \/etc\/lirc\/hardware\/custom.conf/#\. \/etc\/lirc\/hardware\/custom.conf\n\. \/etc\/lirc\/hardware\/mceusb_event0.conf/g' /etc/lirc/hardware.conf; echo $?;
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

Then retry the first steps of my remote tutorial.

I still get a weird error using "mode2", but (more Importantly) IT WORKED!
I didn't have a clue what these event=0-2 files were... Thanks for working through those issues to get it working. As extensive as the lirc library is, I couldn't find one to match the make/model. Was this a complete re-write or modification to one of theirs?

Code:

root@RaspberryPi:/home/xbian# mode2

pulse 3158064

I will add this remote to our Lirc remotes library
