Today I bought a logitech harmony 895 and I'm very happy with it. but now comes the part to get xbmc working.
I'm using the Antec Micro Fusion 350 as enclosure with Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD.
Standard it comes with a tiny remote named veris rm100 (with the settings on the first page only back and enter are working)
So now I want my logitech to be configured as a MCE remote but i'm not exactly sure how to do this.
Anyone with a logitech remote managed to fix this?

That would be sweet !
I have tried for two days now without any success.
So if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Heeeelp, please - remote seems OK, but LCD not - realn - 2009-01-18
Hello everybody,
I have an Antec Fusion Remote. Following this great tutorial, I got the remote working - well I got only to the point I could see some code by using the irw.
BUT - the LCD seems decided to not work. Or to be more precise lcdproc seems decided to not work. I manage to display the clock, to erase it and to completely turn off the LCD by using those perl commands. Apart from that, nothing works.
I tested lcdd&lcdproc in many ways - it seems that the communication between the client & the server is OK - I tested using the ncurses driver, I have the information passed to the server which afterwards passes it in the ncurses window. I cannot understand why it doesn't work using imon driver - it even tells me that it's using the /dev/lcd0 device for writing - nothing at all is displayed on the LCD.
Please help me, please, I am get dizzy.
Thanks a lot to everybody who might have a suggestion.

I have messages through "dmesg" which show smth like this:
/var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/build/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c: lcd_write: invalid payload size: 32 (expecting 8)
Please help, many thanks !

Hi realn.
I have to ask do you use XBMC Live, or did you install XBMC into a preinstalled Ubuntu ?
- realn - 2009-01-18
Hi, thanks for the support. I have it on a preinstalled Ubuntu. Anyway, please help me if you have any suggestions. Thanks a lot !

However, I'd like to add some comments as you solution did not work "out of the box" for me.
I am using an Antec Fusion Remote Black with a RM200 VERIS remote and add some problems getting the two lircd working together.
I ran two irrecord, the first one on /dev/lirc0 putting configuration on /etc/lirc/remote1.conf about the pad and the numbers on remote and the second one on /dev/lirc1 putting configuration on /etc/lirc/remote2.conf about the other keys.
Code:sudo irrecord /etc/lirc/remote1.conf -d /dev/lirc0 --disable-namespace
sudo irrecord /etc/lirc/remote2.conf -d /dev/lirc1 --disable-namespace
Once this done, I ran the following commands:
Code:sudo /usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc0.pid --listen=8765 /etc/lirc/remote1.conf
sudo /usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc1.pid --connect localhost:8765 --output=/dev/lircd /etc/lirc/remote2.conf
This is now working and the irw mixes the two parts of the remote.
Hope it will help
Philippe
philippe: Could you please provide the conf-files you've recorded with irrecord? I can record on /dev/lirc0 but on /dev/lirc1 is always busy (even though I thought that I've made sure no process is using it).

Can anyone shed some light on what's causing this.

I have got my "Antec Fusion Remote" case working atleast somewhat together with the RM200 remote that came with it (ubuntu 8.10 and cvs lirc as suggested here).
It seems to me that remote commands are recieved on /dev/lirc0 and the volume knob on the case is on /dev/lirc1, both of them are working at the same time when using irw, except for one detail: Only about half of the buttons on the remote seems to be working. All buttons that work begins with either 0x01 or 0x02, and those that do not work begin with 0x2 (These 0x2 buttons does not register at all in irw/mode2 --raw)
Anyone got any idea what could be causing this behaviour?

Done.
The lirc_atiusb module failed to build (probably because the old atiusb code is incompatible with the new lirc_dev code). I had the same problem and cleaned up all the devices I don't need.
I could send you my cleaned up code but I patched it for my 045e:0039 device. Which device do you have?

Hey thanks for the reply, I have this device 15c2:0038. It came with my Silverstone CW02 case.
After starting from scratch again I managed to get the "irw" to detect all my buttuns except the knob button witch is only detected like this, no mater where on the knob i press:
0100800000000000 00 knop lircd0.conf
0100800000000000 01 knop lircd0.conf
0100800000000000 02 knop lircd0.conf
0100800000000000 03 knop lircd0.conf
0100800000000000 04 knop lircd0.conf
I have no idea why. UPDATE look at next post.
What did you do to assign the different config files to right device so it is there when you reboot?
Now I have enter this command everytime I reboot:
Quote:/usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc0.pid --listen=8765 /etc/lirc_imon.0.confThe other problem is that XBMC doesn't pick up on any buttons. (Any chance you can post your Lircmap.xml file?)
/usr/local/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc1.pid --connect localhost:8765 --output=/dev/lircd /etc/lirc_imon.1.conf
And neater does the display, but using the pearl
Code:
perl -e 'print pack "H*", "80000000091e0088"' > /dev/lcd0PS: Are you sure your device is 045e:0039 ? My search on this number it comes up as Microsoft Intellimouse
- NismoC32 - 2009-01-24
Gues what Temar.
I copied your lirc_imon conf files and wouldn't you know the knob button works
Well it looks like the knob is a bit sensitive I can't get under four recording in a row by just touching it in irw
Is there a setting for fixing this ?
The only thing missing now is to get XBMC to bother with them.
Where does XBMC look for the Lircmap.xml file ?
I have it in /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/
But doesn't work.
Have I forgot to install somthing, do you need the xbmc-event packages ?
I have only installed xbmc package
Quote:sudo apt-get install xbmc
