CyberLink Remote?

[mdalacu]

Is someone using successfully the Cyberlink remote? For me only directional keys are working. Do i have to modify a file or something?
Thank you.

[Pvt_Ryan]

[Pvt_Ryan]

only thing i dont have working is Mute

[mdalacu]

Thanks but it's way to complicated for me. i'm a noobe in linux.
I will tell you what i have done so far:
1. create password for root account
2. installed WinSCP on windows machine.
3. Downloaded the file cyberlinkusb-20080924.tar.bz2 and copied the contents in XBMC
4. sudo apt-get install make
the rest does'n work ;( :
i can't find Xorg-devel, Xtst-devel, libusb-devel for apt and make command replies make: cc: Command not found


Any hints?
Thank you!

[Pvt_Ryan]

you are looking for


tar xvjf cyberlinkusb-20080924.tar.bz2
cp config.h ./cyberlinkusb-20080924
cd cyberlinkusb-20080924



sudo apt-get install xorg-dev libusb++-dev libxtst-dev build-essentials bison autoconf
make



sudo cp cyberlinkusb /usr/bin
sudo cyberlinkusb &

[mdalacu]

Thanks a lot Pvt_Ryan but it does not work, only directional keys are working. :(
Maybe i've done something wrong, i don't know: the make command only works with sudo make, otherwize it gives me an error.
Any other ideeas?
Thanks.

[Pvt_Ryan]

after sudo make:

sudo ./cyberlinkusb &

Have you changed your key config in xbmc? as my cfg file is setup for the default bindings.

Did you replace your config with mine?

What kernel are you running? (uname -a)

[mdalacu]

after sudo make:

sudo ./cyberlinkusb &

What kernel are you running? (uname -a)

1 i've copied your seccond post and place it into a file saving it as config.h
2. i replaced the config.h from archive with the one above
3. copy the cyberlinkusb-20080924 directory from xp computer in /home/xbmc with winscp
4. on xbmc: cd cyberlinkusb-20080924
sudo make
sudo cp cyberlinkusb /usr/bin
sudo shutdown -r now (it won't load otherwize)
sudo cyberlinkusb & (command retured a number 5128)

ctrl+alt+f7 : only directional keys are working :-(

what am i dooing wrong ?!? :sad:

thank you for your patience.

[Pvt_Ryan]

ok, from the desktop open a terminal.

now run: sudo cyberlinkusb

what output are you getting?

now press keys on the remote and tell me if there is any output

[mdalacu]

This doesn't sound to good :)

P.S. My kernel version : 2.6.24-19-generic (XBMC Live CD Beta 2)

[mdalacu]

hi Pvt_Ryan, can you post lsusb output for your xbmc. Thx.
mine shows :

[mdalacu]

I couldn't get it to work so i bought a MCE remote which works ok. :)

Off toppic: Can you start the computer with the remote? If so it's a BIOS thing ,no? What is that setting.

Thanks.

[Pvt_Ryan]

Sorry, I haven't been ignoring you I just haven't had a chance to look.

I'll take a peek tonight and post my findings.

It's the same device but mine doesn't work :)
Anyway, now i have another remote (MC remote), so everything it fine.
Thank you for your answers and patience.
Have a nice day.

[crasam]

i have one of these cyberlink remotes working with lirc on a mythfrontend. I also previously had it working on xbmc on the ubuntu platform.

As you know the output of lsusb shows two events. You want to confiure lirc to use the second one marked as a mouse input.

Also you need to tell lirc to use the devinput driver, for usb keyboards (which this is).

you need lircd.conf for standard keyboards

pop this in usual /etc/lircd.conf, reboot your box and type irw in terminal, press some buttons on your remote and you should have some output. You may need to remap some keys by creating lircrc file.

You will notice that 0-9 up, down, left right buttins produce no output after typing irw, however on my ubuntu box, X interacts with those and they still work but just not with lirc.

Hope this helps someone, i never bothered with that program to change keys.

[Pvt_Ryan]

I am also trying to get this remote working but I'm getting erros after typing make (ubuntu 8.10 32bit)

you are missing the libs..

You need

apt-get install libusb++-dev


Sadly my driver writing for this is very slow as they have changed the kernel API since the guides I was reading were written.. grrrr.

If anyone knows of a usb kernel module guide that is recent please let me know.

[Pvt_Ryan]

Additional Info:


By default, the CyberLink IR receiver is recognized as a USB keyboard (buttons 0-9, Clear, Enter) and a USB Mouse (the rest).

Kernel Log:

Can you go into more detail on how you got this remote working? Upon plugging the USB receiver in, the volume, arrows, numbers, OK/enter and clear buttons work (as I understand they are reconised as a USB keyboard).

I selected the "Linux Input Layer (/dev/input/eventX)" driver for the remote, and set it to event2 (which is what cat /proc/bus/input/devices listed as being the "mouse" input of this remote). I rebooted, but irw still shows nothing.

I suspect my problems lie a bit earlier than lirc though, as I found one place which said to install dvb-utils (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39739) and use evtest /dev/input/event2 (mine is on event2) to display the button presses. This lists the button codes, but button presses do not seem to get through for me, even when pressing the "non-keyboard" buttons. Does anyone know if I am missing something?

[Pvt_Ryan]

if you read earlier you will see the program you can use and the config for it. you need to run the program as root.

[darkinnit]

if you read earlier you will see the program you can use and the config for it. you need to run the program as root.

Ah yes. There's a page 1. Don't I feel stupid. That's what I get for still trying to work on this at 1:30am!

Anyway, I'm using Ubuntu and the names of the required packages are slightly different to those listed in the INSTALL file, so for anyone else trying to do this with no sleep, I had to install the following packages before compiling:
xorg-dev
libxtst-dev
libxtst6
g++

After that I was able to run make and then run the program as root and almost all the buttons were recognised.

Thanks man, I'm gonna get some sleep before I try to do anything more adventurous and make another fool of myself!

[Pvt_Ryan]

under ubuntu its better to get build-essential instead of just g++. You also don't need libxtst6 as it should be installed along with the dev packages.

One of the pages has a code block with what you need.

[marqose]

I have remote Cyberlink P/N: 20028356. Can anybody made the remote working with XBMC Live? If Yes, would you like to post appropriate config files?

[Pvt_Ryan]

Read the whole thread it does work, but you need to run the program listed. The problem with xbmc live is that unless you have installed to your HDD you will need to redownload the program & cfg everytime you reboot.

I am still attempting to write a driver for the remote which when i finish i will submit for inclusion with the linux kernel

[Pvt_Ryan]

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f14f526d02b14fd0b8c1ac4ec413e45 77ad5f62e

Someone beat me to it.. (Mainly to do with the fact I thought of the remote as a USB device not a HID so was trying to write the wrong type of driver.. lol )

2.6.29 kernerl release has the driver.

I'll see if i can back port it tonight to the live cd / ubuntu 8.10 / 8.04... No promises though.

[MaestroDD]

I'm using a modified version of the one Pvt_Ryan provided (Thanks for sharing yours!)
things I've modified:
- PowerOff always shows shutdown menu
- mapped unused buttons to XK_Fxx keys
- mapped subtitle/language to default XBMC subtitle key
- mapped LiveTV key to "switch fullscreen"
- mapped Angle to AspectRatio (both start with 'A' :))
- mapped Info to i
- mapped DVDMenu to contextMenu
- remapped VOL_UP
- mapped Mute to Mute

P.S. My kernel version : 2.6.24-19-generic (XBMC Live CD Beta 2)

I am getting the same error as this running on 2.6.28-13-generic kernel. Does anyone know how to overcome this or what the cause might be?

Thanks,

J

[Pvt_Ryan]

The kernel driver for the remote was introduced in 2.6.29 try upgrading to that. You can get newer ubuntu kernels here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

[jsock]

Thanks for that, I'll give that a go later. Will that mean I can map all the keys without cyberlinkusb or would that still be necessary?

J

[Pete_London]

If you're using XBMC live and update the kernel you'll brick your system (I had to rebuild mine yesterday).

Is there a way to get the module in to 2.6.28?

Pete

[vikjon0]

Pete, I have you checked if it is more than NVIDIA that bricks?
some modules are compiled against specific kernel, i.e graphics drivers and such.

NVIDIA shouldnt be a problem to fix.

[Pvt_Ryan]

If you're using XBMC live and update the kernel you'll brick your system (I had to rebuild mine yesterday).

Pete

Not unless you recode the driver.

Kernel driver API changed massively in the .29 release.

[jsock]

I installed the 2.6.29 kernel and although most of the keys still no longer work they do show up in the log when pressed like so:

HAL: Device (/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_766_204_noserial_if1_logicaldev_input) Condition ButtonPressed | menu

Is there any way of mapping these events into xbmc?

[Pete_London]

Check this thread..... http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39433

damn I wish I could get Live to see this remote properly.

Anyway to get it to run on boot?

I would be interested in this please...got the basic buttons working but need to work out how to map the 'esc' button etc to the remote.

[Pete_London]

yes please

[JUICESIX90]

I'm running a full install of Ubuntu (jaunty) with the gui.

1) Create a new document (right click on the desktop, choose new document)

2) Copy and Paste this inside:-

#!/bin/sh

cyberlinkusb

3) Save the document in > File System > etc > init.d (I saved mine as remote)

4) From the System drop down menu choose > Preferences > Startup Applications

5) Click +Add

6) Enter a name (I called mine remote) click browse and navigate to your saved file from step 3 and save

That should be it. Obviously you'll need to follow Pete's instructions earlier in the thread before you do all this but that worked for me so I hope it helps.

[Mr_Ceee]

I don't know if anybody is interested but I have got this working with Kernel version 2.6.29-02062906-generic and lirc.

Here is what I did:
1. Follow the instructions here http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/03/24/linux-kernel-2629-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/ to upgrade the Kernel
2. Determine which /dev/input/event# the remote is mapped to
Type cat /proc/bus/input/devices
This should give something like this:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0766 Product=0204 Version=0100
N: Name="TopSeed Tech Corp. USB IR Combo Device "
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:04.0-5/input1

3. install lirc:
typesudo apt-get install lirc
When prompted select Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX) from the lirc Package Configuration and follow the config screens until asked to enter the event number. Enter the event number from step 2. (I am only interested in mouse events since the others are mapped to keyboard keys so I entered 6)
4. Create a new Lircmap.xml file in your userdata directory (~/.xbmc/userdata) mapping the keys to remote buttons, here is mine:
<lircmap>
<remote device="linux-input-layer">
<back>BACK</back>
<menu>MENU</menu>
<info>PROPS</info>
<display>TV</display>
<title>TEXT</title>
<play>PLAY</play>
<pause>PAUSE</pause>
<reverse>REWIND</reverse>
<forward>FASTFORWARD</forward>
<skipplus>NEXTSONG</skipplus>
<skipminus>PREVIOUSSONG</skipminus>
<stop>STOPCD</stop>
<power>AUDIO</power>
<myTV>RED</myTV>
<mymusic>GREEN</mymusic>
<mypictures>YELLOW</mypictures>
<myvideo>BLUE</myvideo>
<record>RECORD</record>
<start>HOME</start>
<volumeplus>VOLUMEUP</volumeplus>
<volumeminus>VOLUMEDOWN</volumeminus>
<pageplus>CHANNELUP</pageplus>
<pageminus>CHANNELDOWN</pageminus>
<mute>MUTE</mute>
</remote>
</lircmap>
I also remapped power to bring up the shutdown menu instead of powering down by creating the following Keymap.xml file in my userdata directory:
<keymap>
<global>
<remote>
<power>ActivateWindow(shutdownmenu)</power>
</remote>
</global>
</keymap>

Cheers,
