</lircmap>

and add iMON-PDA there..
but the remote control doesn't work in xbmc :(

maybe someone can help me.. thx..

I ran into the same issue yesterday configuring my Antec case & remote. The file Lircmap.xml must reside in the .xbmc/userdata folder within your user home folder. Hope this helps.

[dirtylion]

you use xbmc live ? and is the lcd working for you ?
i got a antec case too.
You got the imon pad too ?

[tim_wang]

I am using an iMon LCD that came with my Antec Fusion Black. And yes, my LCD works with XBMC Live 8.10 istalled to HDD. My remote control is a Microsoft MCE remote (model 1039).

To get your remote working with XBMC, refer to my post in this thread: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42243.

XBMC will copy the xml file from /usr/share/xbmc/userdata to /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata next time it restarts.

[dirtylion]

it' still now working :(

[tim_wang]

Did you read my guide? Which part is still not working?

[dirtylion]

tim_wang can you tell me what you did after xbmc live installation ? how you get lirc ?

i did:

sudo apt-get install lirc-modules-source cvs build-essential dialog libtool automake1.9 autoconf
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep lirc lcdproc
sudo apt-get remove lirc lcdproc
sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid
options usbhid quirks=0x15c2:0x0038:0x0004
sudo depmod -ae
sudo update-initramfs -b /mnt -u
mv /mnt/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic /mnt/initrdown.img
sudo reboot

sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
sudo modprobe lirc_imon
lsmod | grep lirc

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source
sudo reboot

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc-0.8.4a.tar.bz2
tar xjf lirc-0.8.4a.tar.bz2
cd lirc-0.8.4a
./configure

sudo cp drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c /usr/src/lirc-0.8.3~pre1/drivers/lirc_imon
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source
sudo reboot

sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
sudo modprobe lirc_imon
sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

and then irw shows me the buttons which i press on the veris rm200 remote control from Antec Fusion Black

but nothing happend in xbmc..
maybe you install lirc in an other way ?

[tim_wang]

I installed and configured my lirc and lcdproc using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907256.

Let me know if this helps.

[dirtylion]

thx i will try it

[NismoC32]

Shouldn't the sudo apt-get update be the first thing to do ?

When I run the sudo apt-get build-dep lirc lcdproc I get this error message:
(T: XBMCLiveCD)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep lirc lcdproc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

Whats missing ?

Q:What is exactly happening with this line ?
I know it renames the file but what happen during reboot ?
Is it picked up by a script and "installed" ?

mv /mnt/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic /mnt/initrdown.img

And can I delete the initrdown.img after the reboot ?

Okay a new problem:
I have downloaded the latest lirc from cvs like this:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc login
cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc
cd lirc
./autogen.sh
./setup.sh

After running setup.sh, you will see a setup screen. Select the following:
Driver configuration
->USB Devices
-->Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD

The select "Save configuration and configure"

and I end up with this:

I'm I on the wrong track here ?
