Changing repeat etc on Xbox remote

[melat0nin]

Hi all

I've just got the original xbox remote working on Ubuntu 8.04 and XBMC. I'd like to tweak the delay/repeat settings, however.

From what I can tell I do this in a Lircmap.xml file which should be in xbmc/userdata. It doesn't exist at the moment.

After much searching, I can't find any instructions on what the commands/tags are to change the delay/repeat in Lircmap.xml. I have already played with .lircrc but it would seem from what I've read that this will have no effect on XBMC.

Any help would be much appreciated!

since recently the Lircmap.xml and Keymap.xml are placed in ./system/. These are the original ones and are not to be changed.

You can however make changes, this is done i belief by creating a Lircmap.xml in your userdata. This file can contain the whole Lircmap.xml with your adjustments, or just your adjustments.

This needs to be updated in the Wiki i guess.

About the repeat, i guess you think the remote responds 'slow'? my guess its not the settings but just the remote cant send IR signals that fast. at least i think its the reason the remote is a lot slower than a Xpad (controller).

I'm using the Harmony 525 remote and suffer the same thing, haven't figured out how to make it as 'fast' and responsive as the controller. But it works well enough for me, dont own any device with a remote that is as fast as the Xpad (controller). Think its just a limitation of the IR Remotes in general.

Thanks for the reply. Does Lircmap.xml only deal with keymapping or can it deal with repeat and delay too? None of the example Lircmap.xml files I've seen mention these settings.

I actually want to slow down my Xbox remote -- sometimes it will do a repeat when it shouldn't. It has to be less sensitive to repeats, so a great delay has to be set before it will do repeat inputs (say 1/2 a second or something).

Try advancedsettings.xml. Check wiki.

Thanks for the reply!

I don't think it's made much of a difference. I changed it to 1 second (1000).

Does XBMC completely disregard lirc's configuration?

Does anyone have an Ubuntu 8.04 + XBMC + xbox remote setup with a 100% working remote setup? If so would you mind posting your configs?
