Why not search the archives, find out who this was, and e-mail him/ her? Perhaps he/she did get the keyboard to work, but since he/she didn't care about the keyboard, and only the remote, didn't deign that tidbit worthy of being posted to the mailing list. Thanks Kichigai, wasn't sure if it'd be ok to e-mail him directly but if all else fails I'll give it a go. Also, have you tried the MythTV forums? It's been my experience that the mailing list alone is never an all-inclusive resource, and results can best be found using the two in conjunction. Just try tooling around on Google, you might get lucky. Already googled to no avail but I wasn't aware of the MythTV forums so I'll take a look there. I've also tried the Fedora Forum. If I figure it out, I'll post here. Justin. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Microsoft Remote Keyboard
I've purchased the MS remote keyboard (and the MS remote control unit) for use in Myth. There was a thread in October about this but it didn't say if and how the person got the keyboard to work. There seems to be plenty of information for getting the remote control to work but I can't seem to find anything on the keyboard. Has anyone got this to work? If so, how? Trying again... Sorry, that would be me that was planning on getting an MS MCE Keyboard... Unfortunately I have got around to it yet, as I've been busy with work/Christmas/etc... I was just planning on running irrecord, adding the the output to the existing lirc config file and the adding the extra keys to the lircrc file. Seemed pretty straight forward... Have you tried it?

[mythtv-users] Microsoft Remote Keyboard
Hi, i'm dealing with the idea to buy the MS. Remote Keyboard for XP MCE. Does anybody have some experience with this device under Linux/MythTV? My Mythbox works very well, but i'm looking a long time for a nice remote device with keyboard, mouse and function keys esp. for Media Center applications. I know this device needs a IR receiver from MS. I'm looking for lirc support, but i think there is nothing for this device. Only for XBOX hardware.

How can i this translate for using? Well, you can remap ANY key to whatever function you desire (there's even a plugin for myth to do it, and I think you can do it via the web interface too). If you wanted special dedicated keys, rather than choosing a letter with, or without ctrl shift alt combos, then you might try one of those fancier keyboards that have extra keys for multimedia and system control. Just redefine what they do (and some will have obvious uses already anyway, such as Volume up and down, play/pause etc) The one in front of me has all the multimedia keys, plus a bunch of others. One section has Internet functions. I could easily reuse them when Myth was running. Home could become 'LiveTV', Mail could become EPG, and so on ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I haven't found something like ms remote on lirc homepage. Only for xbox devices... and these are different. I have bought my remote keyboard yesterday, but unfortunately i have an OEM IR receiver from shuttle.
