HOW-TO:Use any IR remote with OpenELEC

How to get your infrared LIRC remote working in OpenELEC. This guide will show you how to modify OpenELEC so that it works with almost any LIRC remote. The four files are lircd.conf Lircmap.xml remote.xml and autostart.sh

This is really simple and can be accomplished in 15-20 min.

You can likely use any remote.xml you can find. The one in the default root location (/usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps) should be fine. Copy it and put it in the /storage/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps location as we might be tweaking it.
