Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have a pretty simple remote setup that I wanted to replace with a Harmony 650, as they were on special.</div><div>However I haven&#39;t been able to get it going, since I&#39;ve been working off many partial tutorials.</div>
<div>Wondering if anyone here has some advice.</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m running XBMC Eden on Ubuntu Oneiric.</div><div>I have a similar desktop I&#39;m testing this new remote on, with the goal of switching it over on the actual HTPC once I have a working setup.</div>
<div>I have 3 receivers to choose from.</div><div><br></div><div>1) A $20 &#39;mce compatible&#39; remote I got from Dick Smith.  It just sends keyboard events, which work great right now with XBMC, no need for lirc.</div>
<div>2) A TwinHan receiver, as documented here: <a href="http://www.doctort.org/adam/general/update-on-twinhan-remote-for-mythbuntu-810.html">http://www.doctort.org/adam/general/update-on-twinhan-remote-for-mythbuntu-810.html</a>  I believe it&#39;s quite flakey.  I did get it to work using lirc as documented on that webpage, but it broke on an upgrade at one point, hence replacing it with the system above.</div>
<div>3) A HP OVU400102, which I thought from reading was the most compatible with the Harmony, and setup would be a piece of cake.  It hasn&#39;t been.</div><div><br></div><div>As I said, I&#39;ve found many &#39;partial&#39; tutorials, mostly people posting on XBMC forums with similar setups.  I&#39;ve run dpkg-reconfigure lirc more times than I can count, hand edited hardware.conf too many times, laughed at:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>lircd-0.9.0[8283]: you are using an obsolete devinput config file: Success</div><div>lircd-0.9.0[8283]: get the new version at <a href="http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput">http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput</a>: Success</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>this a few times.  Right now, I can&#39;t even get irw to spit out keycodes.</div><div>Has anyone been in a similar situation?</div><div><br></div><div>- What should I configure the Harmony device as? A generic MCE remote? The reciever in question?</div>
<div>- How do I configure the reciever in lirc? Generic devinput? A specific reciever?</div><div><br></div><div>And this is before I then get to trying to match up keycodes in XBMC to get it all talking properly.</div><div>
Any advice?</div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>     / Brett</div>
