Thanks both of you. Regarding the screen on Wake On Lan I actually had nothing in the shutdown command line but it still managed to turn it off and on (it officially shouldn't but somehow does). I tried to put in your settings but then nothing happens. I'd rather not change the shutdown function to suspend as I found getting Flirc set up a bit of a bugger but now it does exactly what I ask it and don't want to anger it...That Music Pump app however is fantastic and manges to put it to sleep...

Hi guys here are my files that I use for my PI. (mods this is my first post and I'm sorry if it is in the wrong section or if it breaks any rules, please edit my post accordingly)

The attached files should work with a GPIO IR Receiver, Custom programmable remote like the Harmony line and an original XBOX360 remote.

I was having major problems with repeats. I use custom remotes from both URC and RTI. The remotes have been programmed as XBOX360 remotes.

I have taken the 3.5mm ir out from the...

If I kill eventlircd, I can get codes showing up in irw, but all attempts to make a custom keymap file or use the rc6_mce keymap have resulted in a non-functioning remote.

Thanks for the reply Jenkins. Is it just a case of copy your remote.xml and lirc.xml files to my keymaps folder. There is so uch information about keymapping out there it all gets a bit confusing. My remote is a generic remote with similar commands to this: wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Unbranded_MCE_remote although it looks different. I have a Logitech harmony one which I tried to program up as a microsoft MCE keyboard remote but XBMC didn't recognise any commmands so I suspect my...

Ok now its starting with the protocol enabled but its stopping the remote from working

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event14) with:
Driver saa716x, table rc-tbs-nec
Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC other
Enabled protocols: NEC RC-6
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

Thanks Steve

Ok after messing about following various guides today and trying to write config files I have the TBS remote working and it seems its quite simple.

I deleted all the config file I wrote/adapted then use this command "ir-keytable" which give this output

openelec:~ # ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event5) with:
Driver saa716x, table rc-tbs-nec
Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC other
Enabled protocols:
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
This tells me...

Updated to 3.03 and used the extra command (ir-keytable -p LIRC) and the record worked just fine (still it was easier to just download the premade file )

Hoping to see this get merged to the official openelec soon.

I can do more tests if more help is needed.

Hi

I'm trying to get an IR remote up and running in Openelec. I have a TBS DVB-S2 card with IR receiver. I am wanting to use my SKY tv remote which is an RC6 remote. I have tested the receiver by using irrecord /storage/.config/lircd.conf, and the remote signals are recognized and and lircd.conf is created. From here I am lost at what to do to get my remote working and I cannot find any guides on remote setup. I have tried IRW in ssh and nothing happens when I press remote buttons.

Can anyone...

Anybody had any joy with the remote?

I know the TBS receiver is working on the 3.0.2 build but still cannot work out how to get it actually controlling XBMC.

I used "irrecord /storage/.config/lircd.conf" this allows me to map my remote and it recognizes the remote correctly as an RC6 remote and detects the signals from the remote. Following a Guide I created an lircd.conf and hardware.conf in .config folder and a lircmap.xml in user data however when I use command "IRW" in ssh and try the...

Hallo OpenELEC-Gemeinde,
ich muss gestehen, ich habe die letzten Wochen eine alternative Systemumgebung aufgebaut, die OpenELEC nicht zur Basis hat.
Aktuell nutze ich Ubuntu 12 als Basis für eine NFS/PXE-Umgebung.
Der Grund dafür ist, dass ich an meinen Endgeräten MCE Transciever einsetze um TV und Verstärker zu steuern.
Meine Lauffähige Konfiguration derzeit basiert auf LIRC und ich benutze irsend in den Suspend/Resume-Scripten von Ubuntu um die Peripherie zu steuern.

Meine...

Images based on 3.0.3

Full DVBSKY T9580 support. (Maybe also Enabled LIRC for TBS ? - must check).

By default stock Linux drivers are activated (behaves like official build).
To activate TBS drivers create an empty file enable-drivers-tbs.txt in folder /storage/.config/ using ssh console
touch /storage/.config/enable-drivers-tbs.txt
or you can create this file in Configfiles folder from samba share.
Other two config files are enable-drivers-tbs-dvbc.txt and enable-drivers-media_build.txt. Only...

For irrecord to work you might need to run this:Can you confirm that this is working?

@burton7d8 lircd is started from udev if it is needed and a config file exists...

Bottom line it works for me too.

The irrecord command didn't work for me , got 10 seconds timeout for no data, tried few remotes , all same results.

I downloaded my remote conf file from from the official lirc site and used the irsend command and it works.
I wonder why the record mode did not work , any clues ?

I have a Revo R3600 with OpenElec 3.0.2. I control it with a Harmony One and a FLirc. It works great except for when I'm typing something into a search box. Are there any wireless keyboards that would work? I'm not sure whether a Rii Mini or a traditional wireless usb keyboard would be more suitable. Thanks for any help guys!
