It's gone. It was believed that it wasn't useful due to the amount of information it would add to the file (none - apart from name). If you want the file in the library then use [[NFO_files|nfo files]], they allow more information to be added and there are many programs available to make them on a variety of platforms. | |||

| Answer= | | Answer= | ||
XBMCbuntu (aka, XBMC Live) v11 shipped with a new kernel version which change the way your remote control is supported. Most of the IR drivers are now supported directly by the Linux kernel it self instead of [[LIRC]]. See http://wilsonet.com/?page_id=95. XBMC will likely receive plain [[Keyboard_controls|keystrokes]] in these situations, instead of getting commands via lirc, causing the remote to behave differently. | |||
