New HTPC for OpenELEC

[lrusak]

Something else I just thought of. Do you have a proper remote.xml file in your keymaps folder?

[SavellM]

Lrusak,

So got back, and tried your last command, still the remote doesnt work.

root ~ # lircd -n -H mplay2 -d /dev/lirc0 -u -o /var/run/lirc/lircd -P /var/run/
lirc/lircd.pid /storage/.xbmc/userdata/myremote.conf
lircd-0.9.0[1606]: lircd(mplay2) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

root ~ # lircd -n -H mplay2 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -u -o /var/run/lirc/lircd -P /var/ru
n/lirc/lircd.pid /storage/.xbmc/userdata/myremote.conf
lircd-0.9.0[1632]: lircd(mplay2) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd

irw only works with the 2nd one tho.

I have a keyboard.xml as my remote.xml

Apparently that is the new correct way to do it.
I have copied it and and now have remote.xml

Will restart and try.

Hi Guys
I am the writer at XBMC about getting the Moneual going. I have a couple of machines throughout my home using XBMC, but with the new release of XBMC I decided to switch to OpenElec and I was highly impressed!

I have got the steps worked out to get the remote working on the Moneual box (using OpenElec) and it is:
1. vi ~/.config/autostart.sh
add:

Code:

/usr/sbin/lircd -H mplay2 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -u -o /var/run/lirc/lircd -P /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid /storage/.config/remote.conf

2. vi ~/.config/remote.conf
add:

Code:

begin remote
name Moncaso_312
bits 8
eps 30
aeps 100
one 0 0
zero 0 0
gap 107899
toggle_bit_mask 0x0
begin codes

Quick_Guide 0x08
Timer 0x18
end codes
end remote

3. vi ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml
add:

Code:

<lircmap>
<remote device="Moncaso_312">

4. Reboot machine

That is it. It works 100%.

Awesome mate, thanks a million.

I'll definitely try this when I'm home and get back to you.

[SavellM]

Hi mate.

Thanks for the help but still doesnt work

When I restart and run irw I dont get any keypress info

[SavellM]

So...

I vi into the file, and paste all the stuff above.
In Putty (vi) it looks good, and nicely formatted!

But if I open the file in notepad, its a mess.
And on like the same lines.

So I clear it, and paste it nicely in Notepad.
But then when I look at it in vi, it has ^M at the end of each line.
So I remove that but the file looks a mess again as soon as I save in Vi.

Help?

[cyber7]

To get rid of ^M do the following in vi:
edit the file and delete the last character.

Although I only use vi, why not use nano?

[SavellM]

Will try nano when I get home.

But think it keeps going onto like 1 line when I do it.
See this image of errors I get during startup.



Ek is n bietjie dof

Dankie Meneer

[SavellM]

Does that error mean anything to you?
