YaVDR+SL-6399 Fernbedienung

I too have this remote. It was working with yavdr 0.3 - i only had to change the keyboard.xml for XBMC

I have upgraded to yavdr 0.4 and now the keys do not work out the box. LEFT, RIGHT, UP & DOWN = WORKING, SELECT/OK is not working.

I have tried changing the /var/lib/vdr/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml but that does not work either. Has anyone got this remote working?

Hallo,

ich habe das gleiche Problem. Seit Yavdr 0.4 bekomme ich die Fernbedienung nicht mehr ans laufen.
Im VDR funktioniert alles super. In XBMC funktionieren nur die Pfeiltasten.
Habe schon die Lircmap.xml angepasst... leider ohne Erfolg.

Wo muss man hier ansetzen?

Danke!

PS: Funktionieren Fernbedienungen seit eventlirc in yavdr 0.4 nur bei VDR ootb oder auch direkt bei xbmc?

Wie kann man jetzt trotz eventlirc manuell seine Fernbedienung in XBMC einstellen?

Früher klappte es mit Inputlirc

Hallo str4nger,

ich versuche es mal auf deutsch, einfach so ins Blaue. Ich hoffe es hilft, bei mir läuft es seit eine Woche. Was ich an Hardware habe, siehst Du in der Signatur.
Gemeinsamkeiten sehe ich in den Receiver. Der integrierte Receiver ist von Holtek, angeschlossen an USB, wird als Tastatur und Maus erkannt und sendet Tastendrücke bzw. Tastenkombinationen. Er ist aus Sicht der OS KEIN IR-Receiver.

1. sudo apt-get update && apt-get distupgrade (es wird fleißig gecodet).
2. Soviel ich weiß kümmert sich eventlirc im Gegensatz zum inputlirc NICHT um die Mauseingaben (die kommen an eventlirc vorbei an), konzentriere Dich also auf das Tastatur-Teil.
3. Trage unter WFE NICHTS unter Fernbedienung ein!!!
4. Holtek ist schon in /lib/udev/rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules unter usb "abgefangen" und es existiert eine Belegung in /etc/eventlircd.d/03_1241_e000.evmap für eventlirc.
5. Die Belegung ist nicht korrekt. Ich mußte z.B. alle KEY_NUMERIC_x Einträge in KEY_x ändern. Aus KEY_ENTER wird KEY_OK, KEY_BACKSPACE wird zu KEY_ESC gemapt! Ich habe mich an das remote.conf des yaVDR orientiert.
6. Ich musste sonst nichts mehr tun (keine Änderung an Lircmap.xml).

Noch etwas. Meine Fernbedienung war bei der Gehäuse mit dabei. Sie ist eine WESENA Philips RC260, also eine aktuelle MCE. Der im Gehäuse integrierte Empfänger ist von WESENA mit Holtek Chip. Die Fernbedienung hat vier dedizierte Farbtasten.
Die chinesische Ingenieurkunst sorgte dafür, dass die rote und blaue Taste von Receiver nicht an USB weitergegeben werden. Rot veranlasst den Receiver nur Tastaturbefehle zu senden, dagegen schaltet blau die Mausfunktion zu. Es gibt Tasten wie z.B. die Nummertasten, die nach einem Tastendruck gleichzeitig die Tastaturmodus aktivieren. Es hat nichts mit der Fernbedienung zu tun, der Receiver verhält sich so. Mein Harmony mit MCE-Profil löst das selbe Effekt aus. Als Abhilfe habe ich * für rot und # für blau genommen. Ich spreche es an, weil es bei Deinem Receiver möglicherweise auch so sein könnte.

viel Glück!

Regarding your first problem:

You have to fix your /etc/vdr/remote.conf

You have different issues like:
KEY_NUMERIC_x -> KEY_x
KEY_ENTER -> KEY_OK
KEY_BACKSPACE -> KEY_ESC
etc. (as someone before already wrote)

You can find out this by the command on the terminal: irw
It will help you and show the names you have to replace in the remote.conf

Regarding the second problem:

You simply edited the wrong Lircmap.xml (it is not remote.xml btw). You have to edit it at this location:

/usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml

The file includes several sections for different models of rc, you have to edit the section devinput (which is for some reason the name here ...) (as irw btw tells you). As well here are some missing keys or different names so far I remember.

Thanks for the help your guidance has been a great help. I now have the remote buttons working!

But I now have a new problem. "Enter/Ok" works fine on the XBMC menus. But when I press select full screen with the "Enter/Ok" button the picture goes full screen and then types in "88" - takes me to channel 88 on the PVR. Is this anything to do with the fact that irw buttons are sending 2 key presses:

Pressing Ok once:
irw
KEY_ENTER
KEY_ENTER

I have 8 set to KEY_NUMERIC_8 so I don't understand where it is getting channel 88 from

The remote also does this in the YAVDR OSD (non xbmc)

I am having bizzare behaviour on the remote when I press the following buttons this happens:

Enter = "Enter" followed by "8"
UP = "UP" followed by "6"
DOWN = "DOWN" followed by "2"
LEFT = "LEFT" followed by "7"
RIGHT = "RIGHT" followed by "MUTE"

Hi Charlie,

Natty registers your receiver both keyboard and mouse. It sends keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts. He is from the perspective of the OS NO IR receiver. Eventlircd converts the keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts in simple key code. The original remote.conf is the reference. These codes are forwarded to VDR and XBMC. Understand, you have no remote control. You have a keyboard and a mouse. /etc/eventlircd.d/03_1241_e000.evmap is your friend. Do the following:

- clean install yaVDR (we assume)
- sudo apt-get update && apt-get distupgrade
- select no remote in WFE, no change in remote.conf or lircmap.xml
- find out all keystrokes, shortcut keys of your remote control
- edit /etc/eventlircd.d/03_1241_e000.evmap. The reference is remote.conf.
- safe or template your changes

The content looks like this.:
KEY_UP = KEY_UP
KEY_DOWN = KEY_DOWN
alt+meta+KEY_ENTER = KEY_MENU
KEY_ENTER = KEY_OK
KEY_BACKSPACE = KEY_ESC
KEY_1 = KEY_1
KEY_MP3 = KEY_MODE
ctrl+shift+KEY_P = KEY_PLAY
... etc.

That's all.

- clean install yaVDR (we assume) - DONE
- sudo apt-get update && apt-get distupgrade - DONE
- select no remote in WFE, no change in remote.conf or lircmap.xml - No remote set on web GUI, LIRC support unticked
- find out all keystrokes, shortcut keys of your remote control - USED IRW - SEE BELOW
- edit /etc/eventlircd.d/03_1241_e000.evmap. The reference is remote.conf.

This does not work. I have done a fresh new install of yavdr, applied all updates.

When I press the right arrow on the remote - it does move right but also MUTES xbmc. Press it again and it moves right & UNMUTES

Charlie, we solve it,

Theory:
The remote control sends infrared signals to the IR receiver. The IR receiver is connected to the USB. The IR receiver is detected as a keyboard and a mouse. The IR receiver translates the IR signals into keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts. Eventlirc translates these keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts in remote.conf compliant keystrokes. Eventlirc only translates keystrokes and key combinations that come from a keyboard and only those for which an evmap exists. Eventlirc not translates keystrokes and shortcuts from the mouse, he will forward them. VDR understands only the keystrokes that are defined in remote.conf. Remote.conf is changed only by the developer team of yaVDR! XBMC understands these keystrokes but also mouse inputs.

Practice:
yaVDR already knows your IR receiver (udev rule /lib/udev/rules.d/98-eventlircd.rules). yaVDR has an evmap for your IR receiver (/etc/eventlircd.d/03_1241_e000.evmap). The evmap does not fit to your remote control. Your remote control sends two commands with one keystroke. One comes from the keyboard, the other from the mouse. Your evmap is buggy!

Solution:
Evmap: left side your keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts, right side remote.conf keystrokes. reference

KEY_UP = KEY_UP
KEY_DOWN = KEY_DOWN
KEY_ENTER old meta = KEY_MENU
KEY_ENTER = KEY_OK
KEY_BACKSPACE = KEY_ESC
KEY_LEFT = KEY_LEFT
KEY_RIGHT = KEY_RIGHT
KEY_NUMERIC_0 = KEY_0
KEY_NUMERIC_1 = KEY_1
KEY_NUMERIC_2 = KEY_2
KEY_NUMERIC_3 = KEY_3
KEY_NUMERIC_4 = KEY_4
KEY_NUMERIC_5 = KEY_5
KEY_NUMERIC_6 = KEY_6
KEY_NUMERIC_7 = KEY_7
KEY_NUMERIC_8 = KEY_8
KEY_NUMERIC_9 = KEY_9
... etc.

There are two lircmap.xml files. Find the. Use only the devinput section. Delete the rest in both.

If necessary, disable the mouse function in XBMC (somewhere in settings).

What happens, when you use the Harmony with Microsoft MCE profile. I do it.

Please post the following:

- sudo cat /proc/bus/input/devices
- Photo (or link) from your remote control and receiver.

Good luck.

Firstly thanks for trying to help me out. I am about to give up I have spend so many hours trying to figure this out. Its strange as in 0.3 all i had to do was edit the xbmc Keymaps file.

I think theres a typo here here:
"There are two lircmap.xml files. Find the. Use only the devinput section. Delete the rest in both."

Did you mean "Find them both"?
/usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml - this one ?

/var/lib/vdr/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml - and this one?
/usr/share/yavdr/templates/var/lib/vdr/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml - also found one here

"What happens, when you use the Harmony with Microsoft MCE profile"

Well let me first say that I bought a DELL usb IR receiver off ebay (OVU412002/00) which supposedly works with the harmony. Well I got on even worst with this. When using it with the MCE profiles (keyboard and remote), it only detects KEY_VOLUME_UP & KEY_VOLUME_DOWN, KEY_MUTE

When I use the MCE remote profile but with the Speedlink receiver (link to photo#mce_temp_url# ) I have the exact same results as i mentioned in my previous post

Output from "sudo cat /proc/bus/input/devices" (dell receiver is unplugged so this should only show my speedlink & tevii)

"If necessary, disable the mouse function in XBMC" - Done made no difference I'm afraid.

Really hope you can help, even if it is to recommend a new remote control! Thanks

Hi Charlie,

can you please remove or replace your keyboard? It is from Microsoft and also has an IR receiver. Your remote is a MCE (Microsoft Media Center Edition). Maybe it understands the IR-codes your remote control. The two IR receivers simultaneously send different commands.

Your Lircmap.xml is buggy, therefore:
sudo process-template /var/lib/vdr/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

That's all.

1) I have disconnected the keyboard and receiver
2) Turned on my HTPC (yaVDR)
3) Installed the latest updates tonight - sudo apt-get update & dist-upgrade
4) Run the command:

Zitat von albi_d

sudo process-template /var/lib/vdr/.xbmc/userdata/Lircmap.xml

5) Restarted the PC

The problem still exists! both in xineliboutput and XBMC

Do you require some more output from some commands? Is there anything else I can do?

Hi Charlie.

Well, maybe the keyboard is not to blame. I still do not like your evmap. I've written one for you. Use this, the most should work. Try it out and let you know.

The evmap file is not complete. I know you have more buttons. If it works, we can complete them.
Irw shows the keystrokes that are translated by eventlirc and the last part of a keyboard shortcut that are not defined in evmap. This is the right part of the file. Evtest shows the real keystrokes and keyboard shortcuts if eventlircd is stopped. This is the left part of the file.
Remote.conf is defined here. The original 03_1241_e000.evmap file is buggy.

Still the same happens in xbmc Right key = Right & mute etc etc

albi_d GOOD NEWS! I have found the problem. Its not the keyboard, Its the Tevii S660 receiver.

Example: when I press RIGHT on the remote, the speedlink receiver detects the RIGHT command and the Tevii receiver sees the MUTE command. Each receiver is interpreting remote presses differently.

If I unplug the Tevii receiver the remote works perfectly, but obviously I can't watch TV. Cant believe I didn't try it before.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

duct tape at the remote receiver eye of the S660

This is a bit strange, but functional.

You can use the three keystrokes "KEY_A, KEY_O, KEY_M" for other functions. The functions are here.

Try this for the volume control in XBMC, if it not already works. (Lircmap.xml):

<remote device="usb-HOLTEK_YaoCoo-event-mouse">
                <volumeplus>KEY_VOLUMEUP</volumeplus>
		<volumeminus>KEY_VOLUMEDOWN</volumeminus>
        </remote>
</lircmap>
