ok I installed ubuntu 9.10 and xbmc 9.11 on my acer revo 3610. I have a MX-810 remote. The remote is RF but I have a MF260 to transmit the IR to the pc.

What I need to know is how to configure LIRC for this remote? Does anyone have this remote set up already wtih XBMC? this remote already has preset remotes in there and has alot of MCE remotes however i dont know which one to use.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Wow, that's a mouthful of ABCD and WXYZ. I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, but some of your TERM is beyond me. You are looking for the correct code for windows IR for what?

LMAO. yeah it is a mouthful.. ;) yes I want to know what code in the remote can be used with LIRC to control XBMC.

There are all the MCE #1, #2, #2 etc..

ok question. I need to know how to map all of the buttons on the remote. for instance if I chose MCE remote #1 then some of the button do not work as it does not give an output command. If I chose MCE #9 then there are different buttons that do and dont work. I know this is because the MCE remotes are all different and some only have a few buttons but how do I add more commands to the buttons?

How can I then add a command to that output? I want to be able to use all the buttons on the remote also the buttons on the screen which should be customizable.

I have used code 481 (Media Center Vista) and found it to be accurate so I would try starting with that one.

I am not sure what you mean when you say "add a command"

There are three ways to get a command onto a button. You can learn it in, you can copy and paste it from another device or you can load it in from hex.

thanks for the reply. What I mean by add a command it that on some of the buttons there is no function prebuilt in the coded remote. For instance the record button does not have a function but I want to add a command to that record button for a function (i.e. play) just as an example.

There are three ways to get a command onto a button.

1. You can learn it from your original remote.
  - Open the software
  - Select "Tune Up"
  - Select "Learn new commands from any remote control"
  - Pick the device you want to learn into
  - Click on each button that you want to learn over and click "Mark this button as bad"
  - Click "Next" and the software will step you through learning all the buttons you marked as bad

2.  You can copy the button from another device or activity
  - Open up the software
  - Select "Tune Up"
  - Select "Copy a command from one device and paste it into another device or activity"
  - Click "Next"
  - Select the device or activity on top that has the function you want
  - Click on the button that has the function you want
  - Click "Copy Button"
  - Select the device or activity on top you want to copy into
  - Click on the button that you want to copy into to
  - Click "Paste Button"

3.  You can use the universal browser to import commands from this or another file.
