Thx

Hi there,

when trying to build with the actual GIT version this compiler error occurs:

A previous build (with git version 2013-08-21) has been successful
Any suggestions?

[inputlirc]

Ok guys,

attached my solution for the HAMA MCE REMOTE.

First installing inputlirc

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install inputlirc

Configure inputlirc
Edit /etc/default/inputlirc

Code Select Expand

# Options to be passed to inputlirc.
# EVENTS="/dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event1"
EVENTS="/dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-mouse"
OPTIONS="-g -c -m0"

This maps all IR-remote events to LIRC

Now all LIRC events have to be mapped to remote socket:

Second installing lirc

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install lirc

Edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Code Select Expand

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
START_IREXEC=true

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
#LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="UNCONFIGURED"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="none"
MODULES="none"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""


Edit /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

Code Select Expand

#
#
# To find out how to get a proper configuration file please read:
#
#       /usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian

START_IREXEC=true

Next edit /etc/lir/lircrc

I use netcat to transfer the keys according the remote.h to the local vompclient - socket.

... remarks welcome

Hi there,

I'm facing the same problems with the HAMA - remote. There are several reasons:

• The HAMA remote creates 2 devices: /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-kbd  and  /dev/input/by-id/usb-05a4_9881-event-mouse
• When pressing the colour - keys a key sequence is generated e.g. Ctrl-, Shift-,  t-Event and unfortunately no CTRL_SHIFT_KEY_T Event

What I've done so far:
I created a lirc device using inputlirc according to this howto http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Configure_VRC-1100_remote_for_Ubuntu
When starting irw, I get different events for the different keys.

The good question now:
How can I use (input)lirc - events for the VOMPCLIENT?
One solution might be unsing IREXEC and netcat connecting via socket similar to http://forum.loggytronic.com/index.php?topic=658.0.

Might there be any other possibility, because this approach seems to be really intricately?

@Marten
When having a look at your sources, might there be a possibility to use native LIRC?

Regards
Wolfgang
