Remote

[skelosMember]

Hi all.

Finally I end to config my remote. It has a behaviors a little bit strange: some keys are correct sniffed only if I turn off eventlircd.service after start XBMC.

I explain a little bit better. I followed this guide http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/GeeXboX_on_CuBox#Remote_control my /etc/rc_keymaps/xbmcremote file is listed below. Main keys are fully working but some keys works only after

systemctl stop eventlircd.service

comand. There keys are : key_C , key_I,…

I see 2 solution:

1) automatically invoke “systemctl stop eventlircd.service” comand after start XBMC

2) fix this bug.

Someone can help me?

The file:

0x4ba1d KEY_TV
0x4ba09 KEY_VIDEO
0x4ba43 KEY_VOLUMEDOWN

else you can try this : http://www.geexbox.org/forum/topic/how-to-enable-homemade-remote-in-3-0/

create you own file for lirc (this will stop eventlircd )

What remote and what receiver did you use? Currently I use a phone app, but I would very much like to make the switch to a more comfortable IR remote, so any idea is welcome. I use a Pandaboard.

mceusb remote should work

else buy a cec device to use remote from tv

Same problem as raducu. I use geexbox on a Pandaboard and currently control it only with XBMCRemote.

I have an IR receiver in my Asus U3000 Hybrid DVB-T dongle, which is correctly working for the TV reception, but the remote control does not work. I’ve looked for lircd or eventlircd, but nothing seems to be installed on my system, and opkg does not give anything.

I see in that XBMC is listening to lircd event in /var/run/lirc/lircd, but no lirc directory in /var/run. Also evtest is not present (so I am unable to see if events are received when I press a remote control button).

Does anybody have an idea of what I am missing?
