#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration
#via additional include directives or below the existing
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or
#transmitter.

=== Test your config ===
* Restart Lirc
<pre>$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart</pre>
* Try your remote
<pre>$ irw</pre>
Press a few buttons, if everything is OK you will get for example:
<pre>
0000000000010172 00 SUBTITLE linux-input-layer
0000000000010187 00 MP3 linux-input-layer

0000000000010189 00 VIDEO linux-input-layer
000000000001008e 00 SLEEP linux-input-layer
</pre>
== Config XBMC for Remote actions ==
* Edit the remote control button mapping file, ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml:
Mappings look like this: <pre><XBMC_COMMAND>YOUR_REMOTE_BUTTON</XBMC_COMMAND></pre>
<pre>
<lircmap>
<remote device="linux-input-layer">

</remote>
</lircmap></pre>
* Edit XBMC remote actions: ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml, which should be a copy of the global file /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml but with the following difference:
<pre>
diff .xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml

<      <mytv>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyWeather)</mytv>

>      <mytv>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,TvShows)</mytv>
148c148
<      <subtitle>NextSubtitle</subtitle>
---
>      <subtitle>ShowSubtitles</subtitle>
</pre>
* Test your XBMC config:
** Press the coloured buttons in turn. They should get you to Music, Pictures, Videos etc.
** Play a movie with subtitles. Press the "Subtitle" button. Subtitles should cycle.
== Feel free to contribute ==
I had limited time to config this and test.
If you have some improvements over the existing config (especially the Lircmap.xml stuff), feel free to edit it.

Introduction

Cyberlink Media Centre Remote Control is some £5 USB remote control. It looks like this:

On Linux (>=2.6.29)it is detected as some kind of keyboard/mouse combo. The device mostly generates keyboard presses, like "0", "1", "2", "XF86AudioPlay", "Enter", "Delete" and so on. But unfortunately not all buttons will work, like "Subtitle" or the 4 coloured buttons (DVD/Music/Pictures/Videos) - which will impair your experience with XBMC.

The solution here involves:

  • Setting up Lirc and the remote as a devinput Lirc device
  • Setting up a Lircmap.xml file

Credits go to MrLux's forum post [1]. I added a few correction as:

  • Lirc config has a mistake because event id doesn't always match device id
  • probably because the post is kind of old Lircmap.xml was not complete

The config files here will get your remote going on XBMC 10.00 on Ubuntu Maveric 10.10.

Lirc setup

Install Lirc

sudo apt-get install lirc
  • You will be asked which remote to setup. You can choose "hauppauge nova-t 500" and as device select whatever you get from this command:
`cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A4 "TopSeed" | grep event | tail -n1 | sed 's/.*\(event[0-9]\+\).*/\/dev\/input\/\1/'`

This command is selecting the second input device (the one with mouse and keyboard) created by the kernel driver when you insert the USB receiver. It will look similar to: 

/dev/input/event14

Configure Lirc, really

  • Edit, as root, and replace /etc/lirc/hardware.conf as:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Cyberlink Media Centre"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="`cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A4 "TopSeed" | grep event | tail -n1 | sed 's/.*\(event[0-9]\+\).*/\/dev\/input\/\1/'`"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="--device=`cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -A4 "TopSeed" | grep event | tail -n1 | sed 's/.*\(event[0-9]\+\).*/\/dev\/input\/\1/'` --driver=dev/input"

#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""
  • Edit the remote button config file, replace old content in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf:

#This configuration has been automatically generated via
#the Ubuntu LIRC package maintainer scripts.
#
#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.
#
#Feel free to add any custom remotes to the configuration
#via additional include directives or below the existing
#Ubuntu include directives from your selected remote and/or
#transmitter.

#Configuration for the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 remote:
#include "/usr/share/lirc/extras/more_remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge_novat500"

Test your config

  • Restart Lirc
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
  • Try your remote
$ irw

Press a few buttons, if everything is OK you will get for example: 

0000000000010172 00 SUBTITLE linux-input-layer
0000000000010187 00 MP3 linux-input-layer
00000000000100d4 00 CAMERA linux-input-layer
0000000000010189 00 VIDEO linux-input-layer
000000000001008e 00 SLEEP linux-input-layer

Config XBMC for Remote actions

  • Edit the remote control button mapping file, ~/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml:

Mappings look like this: 

<XBMC_COMMAND>YOUR_REMOTE_BUTTON</XBMC_COMMAND>
<lircmap>
	<remote device="linux-input-layer">
	<altname>cx23885_remote</altname>
	<altname>devinput</altname>
		<left>KEY_LEFT</left>
		<right>KEY_RIGHT</right>
		<up>KEY_UP</up>
		<down>KEY_DOWN</down>
		<select>KEY_ENTER</select>
		<start>MEDIA</start>
		<back>BACK</back>
		<record>RECORD</record>
		<play>PLAY</play>
		<pause>PAUSE</pause>
		<stop>STOPCD</stop>
		<forward>FASTFORWARD</forward>
		<reverse>REWIND</reverse>
		<volumeplus>VOLUMEUP</volumeplus>
		<volumeminus>VOLUMEDOWN</volumeminus>
		<channelplus>CHANNELUP</channelplus>
		<channelminus>CHANNELDOWN</channelminus>
		<skipplus>NEXTSONG</skipplus>
		<skipminus>PREVIOUSSONG</skipminus>
		<title>TEXT</title>
		<subtitle>SUBTITLE</subtitle>
		<language>LANGUAGE</language>
		<mute>MUTE</mute>
		<power>SLEEP</power>
		<myvideo>VIDEO</myvideo>
		<mymusic>MP3</mymusic>
		<mypictures>CAMERA</mypictures>
		<mytv>TV2</mytv>
		<info>PROPS</info>
		<display>ANGLE</display>
		<menu>MENU</menu>
	</remote>
</lircmap>
  • Edit XBMC remote actions: ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml, which should be a copy of the global file /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml but with the following difference:
diff .xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml 
69c69
<       <mytv>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyWeather)</mytv>
---
>       <mytv>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,TvShows)</mytv>
148c148
<       <subtitle>NextSubtitle</subtitle>
---
>       <subtitle>ShowSubtitles</subtitle>
  • Test your XBMC config:
    • Press the coloured buttons in turn. They should get you to Music, Pictures, Videos etc.
    • Play a movie with subtitles. Press the "Subtitle" button. Subtitles should cycle.

Feel free to contribute

I had limited time to config this and test. If you have some improvements over the existing config (especially the Lircmap.xml stuff), feel free to edit it.

Cheers,
