For implementation in the official distribution we can't alter the Keymap.xml because they're global settings. Can you make the Lircmap.xml + Lircd.conf* generic enough so you don't have to alter the Keymap.xml.

*Can you also post this one.

Keymap.xml seems to be obsolete: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Keymap . Can you confirm this, than I shall delete it from my post.

[CurlyMo]

Doesn't matter, just make sure that you're remote works by only providing a custom Lircmap.xml, lircd.conf and hardware.conf. Check "/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml" for all available functions of XBMC.

Also, can you provide me with a dmesg output so i can see how the remote is recognized by the kernel?

[CurlyMo]

I'm currently working on the Alpha 4 update. If you would like me to add support for this remote, can you then provide me with the config files i requested? Thanks in advanced!

[BartOtten]

@[CurlyMo] Here you go

[CurlyMo]

Don't you have a lircd.conf?

[BartOtten]

http://www.mideiros.net/doc/share/lirc/remotes/philips/lircd.conf.srm7500libusb Here it is Just rename

[CurlyMo]

Owk, almost done.

Can you match the names of your buttons in the lircd.conf as linked above with these:
https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/blob/xbian-alpha4/etc/lirc/remotes/devinput.conf

Then start with a clean Lircmap.xml and only add those buttons that don't work by default. Probably up/down/left/right do. Your custom Lircmap.xml will then most likely be a bit smaller and uniform than it is now.

Thanks!

[BartOtten]

Any way to test this? renaming lirc.conf, hardware.conf etc?

[CurlyMo]

Just remove the current lircmap.xml, rename the buttons in your current lircd.conf to the uniform names (like in devinput). Then restart lirc & xbmc and check what buttons work and which don't.

[BartOtten]

Just see a nice tutorial of a guy named....curlymo. First have to check some bugs on the forum though

[BartOtten]

Code:

Code:

Output lirc-daemon when XBMC starts

The new lircd.conf is working (fine). I have removed the Lircmap.xml bot XBMC does not react at all. I understand that I can make a -full- Lircmap myself, however I don't think that is what you want. It should be (partly) recognized by using the same 'names' as devinput right?

[CurlyMo]

When you look at my digitenne remote map: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/blob/xbian-alpha4/etc/lirc/remotes/smt1000t.conf
and compare that to the actual xbmc lircmap: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/blob/xbian-alpha4/home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

Buttons i didn't have to map ('cause i used the default devinput names):
KEY_0 till KEY_9
KEY_UP
KEY_DOWN
KEY_LEFT
KEY_RIGHT

So just use your own Lircmap.xml (with the names names) but leave those out that already work by default.
