[PROBLEM] Emprex 3009URF Remote not working properly

[doveman]

I have an Emprex 3009URF remote with a USB dongle receiver, which works in Raspbmc and OpenElec but in Xbian it's not quite there and things like the Back button don't work and I have to use the Cancel button under the number pad to go back a screen instead. Pause doesn't work either and I'm sure a lot of other keys although I haven't tested them all.

I've posted the output from lsusb, dmesg, cat /proc/bus/input/devices here http://pastebin.com/9nkWgb7q and xbmc.log here: http://pastebin.com/KfSYTkYW

I note IRW doesn't output anything, which is what happened with Raspbmc until something was changed and only "tail -F ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep -i key" gave output. This works with Xbian too at the moment, although nothing is generated when pressing the Back key.

I know the fix had something to do with these files but I don't know what they're for.

/etc/eventlircd.d/emprex.evmap
/lib/udev/rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules

Did you already try this guide http://wiki.xbian.org/view/Tutorials:Configuring_a_remote . If that helps, can you share the files you edited so we can add support for this remote by default.

Thanks but that fails at the first step.

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo su
[sudo] password for xbian:

Terminal

sudo modprobe lirc_rpi

after every reboot
or replace ur files with these http://forum.xbian.org/thread-565-post-7238.html#pid7238

Instead of running modprobe lirc_rpi do this once:

Code:

sudo echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules
