Ok... but nothing anywhere says anything about remote.xml
What version of XBMC are you using?
I don't see a remote.xml file in any of the locations you give.... so I've been just creating it on my own... including the keymaps directory.
Why are these directorys / files there by default if they are required for the program to work?
What I'm needing is some clarification when you give me these little nuggets to try....

Change the obc number of a command that isn't working in Lircmap.xml, then make it match in the remote.xml. just switch things up until you get something working.
The fact that the commands show up in IRW but don't work in xbmc means that there is a problem with the Lircmap or the keymap. so start simple, rewrite those files and make sure that everything matches just the way you want.

Did you ever get your MCE remote?
If so, how well is it working out?
What did you end up purchasing (brand/model) and where did you pick it up?

I got an HP USB receiver. Found it on ebay. and it works like a charm. At the very least it requires a totally standard lirc install, so hopefully everything won't break when I upgrade. My harmony is also a lot more responsive than it was with the imon receiver.

Hello
I started to use XBMC year and a half ago. I tried several media programs, but I found XBMC is realy one which I need. First I installed it in Windows and everything works great, but sometimes my Athlon x2 5600+ was overloaded with video and I found that I could use my Nvidia 8200 to decode video with VDPAU in Linux. I installed Ubuntu not first time, so it was no very complicated for me and VDPAU works fine now. But I still can't make my Remote to work. I spend a lot of time for this with 0.8.4a lirc, there was nothing in IRW. Now I found new version of Lirc, posted here and tried it - no success.
Could somebody to help me troubleshoot this. I have ffdc version with VFD display.
Ubuntu Jantu.
First per instruction I removed previously installed Lirc with apr-get remove..
Then added new repository with 0.8.6 lirc and installed it.
But it always show me this:
dmitry@htpc:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail]
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
* selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
I made sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc , choose Imon pad, but still the same, no Lirc, no device in /dev
Any suggestion, what I do wrong?
