Bundled MCE remote

Remote appears to emulate a USB keyboard out the box. This has limited use in UI2 as only the arrow keys, "ok" = click, and "enter" are useful. Experimenting with steps from the following thread: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Ubuntu_with_AMD_GPU#Step_13:_Configuring_Remote_Control to try to get it working. Steps followed (ssh to MD as root):

  • Install requirements
apt-get install automake dialog libtool
  • Download the version from FernetMenta
wget https://github.com/FernetMenta/lirc/tarball/master -O lirc.tar.gz
  • Extract, configure and install:

When you will run setup.sh, choose select driver "zotac" under usb, then save & configure 

tar -xvf ./lirc.tar.gz
cd FernetMenta-lirc-c336b00/
./autogen.sh
./setup.sh
make
make install
  • Create links /usr/sbin:
cd /usr/sbin
ln -s ../local/sbin/lircd lircd
ln -s ../local/sbin/lircmd lircmd
  • Stop X11 from registering device as keyboard <== I haven't been able to do this because I couldn't find the file mentioned below. Included for later.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!! Xorg update could overwrite this file, if you later experience some kind of strange key repeating, sometime infinite and always boring, it may have been overwritten! In this case, just redo this step and you're done ^^ Edit "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf" and place the following code at the begining of the file: <=== I couldn't find this file 

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus"
  MatchProduct "PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spinel plus"
  MatchIsKeyboard "true"
  Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
  • Add a alias in udev to /dev/remote by creating a new file at /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with the following:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb" , ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="20cc", SYMLINK+="remote", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/initctl --quiet emit --no-wait ir-ready"
  • Replace (in my case create) the current version of /etc/lirc/hardware.conf with:
# hardware.conf for Zotac
#
REMOTE="Zotac MCE Remote"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="zotac"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/remote"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="zotac/lircd.conf.zotac"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
START_LIRCD="true"

  • Replace the current version of /etc/lirc/lircd.conf with:
