what remote? - roeroe - 2008-03-19
Has anyone got a list of what remote control or gamepad devices they got it to work under XBMC?
- Chinny - 2008-03-19
If you setup HID (opensource) you can use any remote.
I'm using a Media Center remote under vista now
- roeroe - 2008-03-19
you mean as long as I can get gamepad and any remote
that work under Human Device Interface in windows xmbc recognize it?
what about mapping buttons and stuff?
- Bram77 - 2008-03-19
The Microsoft MCE remote is really good and well supported by most software.
- Chinny - 2008-03-19
HID is open source software that remaps keyboard strokes to your mce.

PS: I'm use a xb360 drivers written by a Japanese which I cant remember the link but have save it on my HDD so I upload it to rapidshare if someone need it. It's much better than Microsoft drivers because it has much better trigger buttons supports.

I use wireless xbmc360 controllers with a freeware package around the house with LCD TV's. Wrote it all up here. In the basement I sometimes just use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
Original xbox dvd kit remote and dongle working!!!! - eclin - 2008-03-25
First off as this is my first post I'd like to thank all the XBMC developers for their hard work on the ultimate media player !!!
Did a google search and came across this http://www.redcl0ud.com/xbcd_rc.html
Justs requires a simple soldering mod to add a usb cable to the dongle and for you to run a client program.
You'll need to add a new entry in the client program and map all the remote buttons to the proper keyboard strokes.
Only hitch for me was if you use VK_UP, VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, and VK_DOWN fields in the client software maps the UP DOWN LEFT AND RIGHT arrows to numberpad keys so the arrow buttons didn't work in XBMC. (because they would send 8 4 3 2 instead of actual cursor strokes) So I remapped those commands in the keymap.xml file to unused letters and adjusted the mapping in the client program and it works great.

Nice! Love these freebies.

I have remapped the VK_UP, VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, and VK_DOWN to g,h,y,b and edited the keymap file. But I don't get a response in XBMC. Can you post the section of your keymap file for these keys.
thx
Steve

Make sure that XBCD RC Client program is running and test it using notepad.
Depending on the version of XBMC you're using you may have to edit the keymap.xml in
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\XBMC\UserData.
I ended up using some Function keys though.
<f9>Left</f9>
<f10>Right</f10>
<f11>Up</f11>
<f12>Down</f12>
The arrows don't work with the virtual keyboard so I still use the keyboard for Source naming, renaming files etc.
Cheers
