[cola03Member]

I search the whole forum, but can’t find anything helpful. So, anyone knows it?

1. don’t know how to load lirc_dev.so automatically (I can load lirc_dev by modprobe)

2. don’t know how to start lircd when system booted (I remember in old version can start it in init.d, but now I can’t find init.d)

3.when lirc received signle, how to transfer to xbmc?

4. does the eventlircd support serial remote controller?

see this changeset : http://hg.openbricks.org/geexbox/rev/19d3ffb6c3a1

you can create your own confing in /etc/lirc/mycustom.conf

in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, modify it to use your com port

then reboot

lircd should start and xbmc use it

Hi,tomlohave, thanks for your answer.

but still got problem.

because your suggest is  the changeset, so according to it, I do:

1.modify hardware.conf, it look like

DRIVER=”mplay”

DEVICE=”/dev/lirc”

2.add /etc/lirc/mycustom.conf, so it will prevent eventlircd to start at boot time

3.systemctl enable lircd, it make lircd start at boot time.

4.add code to Lircmap.xml

but still can’t work normally, so have 2 questions

1. does it need lirc_serial.ko module? if didn’t load it , no /dev/lirc/ device, if need, how to add it when boot?

2.the remote controller can be use in geexbox 1.x with lirc. how to know the lirc already transfer the code to xbmc(how to debug it)?

[tomlohaveModerator]

1) you can add a file in /usr/lib/module-load.d called lirc.conf

containing :

lirc_serial

2) xbmx listen on /var/run/lirc/lircd (see the command line for xbmc and lircd)

you can test with irw

[cola03Member]

bingo.

because in the default  /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, the driver use mplay. but here should use default, then the xbmc can receive the remote button.

Thanks
