Re: [mythtv-users] XBox IR remote lirc?
Here's my suggestions (I'm running an Xbox remote on a PC with Gentoo, so
similar but not identical):
* Does the Xbox remote control appear at all if you run 'lsusb'?
If not it hasn't been detected on the USB port, maybe it's broken?
Is the USB module loaded (either usb-uhci/usb-ohci)?
* Is the DVD receiver the Microsoft brand or a generic clone model?
Mine's a clone from China so I had to edit the source of the driver
And add the product and vendor IDs (you get these from 'lsusb' above, mine
is :)
If you need to edit, you need to look for this part of lirc-0.7's
drivers/lirc_xboxusb/lirc_xboxusb.c:
static struct usb_device_id usb_remote_id_table [] = {
{ USB_DEVICE(0x040b, 0x6521) }, /* Gamester Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit IR
*/
{ USB_DEVICE(0x045e, 0x0284) }, /* Microsoft Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit IR
*/
{ }/* Terminating entry */
};
And add a line before Terminating entry, in my case:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x, 0x) }, /* My DVD receiver */
Then recompile the kernel module -- note that this file is generally
provided by Gentoo not LIRC so you either have to patch and recompile the
source manually or otherwise start the emerge command, hit Control-Z after
it says 'Source unpacked', edit the file (it will be under
/var/portage/lirc...), and type 'fg' and continue the emerge.
* What else does the driver say (have a look at the log files in /var/log/*)
My log (not my dmesg I don't think) has a line in it as such:
Sep 12 09:50:24 [lircd 0.7.0] lircd(xboxusb) ready
After which the remote works.
Note that I'm using 2.6.10 kernel, so it could be a .12 issue.
Hope this helps,

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox IR remote lirc?
I agree it does seem to be a generic issue, however I can't resolve it. I followed the steps that lirc gave to edit the rules on the devfs and still no dice. No there is no node only /dev/lircd which isn't it. Someone said they got it working on 2.6.10-xbox kernel so I might play with that soon. BTW, I'm netbooting, don't know if that complicates anything.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox IR remote lirc?
Vic if you're referring to me, it's 2.6.10 *pc* kernel so most of the Xbox options you'd have are switched off -- might e-mail you the kernel config (when I can get it) to see if it helps.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox IR remote lirc?
Bingo! The OHCI USB host driver wasn't loaded. I usually compile it into the kernel, so I didn't notice that it was a module, and that it wasn't being pulled in lirc-dev.

Re: [mythtv-users] XBox IR remote lirc?
Just to go on a humongous tangent, are you guys talking about getting IR working on the Xbox? When I looked at it, I would need to make this receiver (usb-ir-boy???), then recompile a kernel and do heaps of work which seemed way to hard for someone of my noob-ness. Is this some easier way using lirc? Can you point me to some starter reading somewhere?

This is using the IR remote and receiver that Microsoft sells for the Xbox -- the DVD Movie Playback Kit (and its cheaper clones), ie, http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au/longpage.asp?gameid=6895 Gentoo Linux provide the driver when you compile lirc-0.7.0 on an Xbox, otherwise you can get the patch from Xbox-Linux' CVS. http://cvs.xbox-linux.org/viewcvs.py/xbox-linux/lirc/lirc-0.7.0-xbox.patch?r ev=1.1view=auto The LIRC support requires a 2.6-series kernel (so using something Xebian-based I think probably doesn't work), there are other drivers, look around on http://www.xbox-linux.org, for kernel 2.4. It's not fully supported by LIRC to my knowledge. Joshua King PS. You *can* use other remotes, as always programmed with the appropriates, the receiver is the important bit. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

All I know is that the myth-xbox scripts at http://bit.blkbk.com/ which are based on Xebian fully supports the DVD remote dongle - even comes with the remote definition file and .lircrc. It uses something called xir - don't know anything about it other than the fact that I have been controlling my xbox mythfrontend with a universal RCA remote since I got it set up.
