Sorry Mo, the pi must have crashed as it stopped loading properly after my last post. I could ssh in but the screen was black on my tv. I'll have to revisit this tomorrow as I will be killed if we can't watch a film tonight

Thanks for your help so far, and your patience. I'll be back tomorrow I'll redo everything we have done so far...

I went through this whole post again and did all the same but there was no change. It did not like my echo statements as written.

[CurlyMo]

Sorry, then i'm clueless. Let's hope someone else can help us

[wolfylee]

Ok no worries - thanks for the help anyway!

Hi CurlyMo, i have the same problem.

Output - lsusb, dmesg and /proc/bus/input/devices
http://pastebin.com/An9JTaa8

[CurlyMo]

So none of the buttons work, and mode2 doesn't output anything as well?

Only numeric buttons doesn't work - other buttons works.

Code:

root@else ~ # irw
00000000800100e2 00 KEY_MEDIA devinput
0000000080010166 00 KEY_INFO devinput
00000000800100ae 00 KEY_EXIT devinput
000000008001016d 00 KEY_EPG devinput
0000000080010172 00 KEY_SUBTITLE devinput
0000000080010077 00 KEY_PAUSE devinput
0000000080010080 00 KEY_STOP devinput
...

Output from mode2 for button "0".

On Arch Linux (amd64) works fine with this file.

[CurlyMo]

Can you do:

Code:

sudo wget -O - https://raw.github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/xbian-beta1/etc/lirc/remotes/devinput.conf > /etc/lirc/remotes/devinput.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

They should now be included.

Doesn't work
That's strange - i tried it before!

Code:

Info: ... on RaspBMC works this out-of-the-box.

[CurlyMo]

Then, can you do:

Code:

sudo wget -O - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=5hwXqTwJ >> /etc/lirc/remotes/mceusb.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

I have tried almost everything, too - doesn't work - i do not understand!

Code:

vi /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
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"

[CurlyMo]

But did you already try to create a full map yourself with irrecord?

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.
(http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=90078&pid=721137#pid721137)

Happy bug fixing!

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

What do you mean by this. If Lirc did indeed skip the config, then how does that relate to your comment here:
