Description

Since R7.4 and now in R8 a bug exists that breaks Lirc in XMBC

Code: Select all
xbmc --lircdev /var/run/lirc/lircd

is bugged, even more strange is the path for Lirc is /var/run/lirc/lircd and not in /dev anymore so it should be working. The only option is to change the button.
So here is the workaround for now

change the line in

/home/mythtv/.mythtv/library.xml

from

Code: Select all
<action>EXEC /usr/bin/xbmc</action>

to

Code: Select all
<action>EXEC /usr/bin/xbmc --lircdev /var/run/lirc/lircd</action>

it can now figure out the path for Lirc and it works for now :)

LinHES-config: mv_ir.py add support for custom xbmc lirc mapping. If a remote definition has a xbmc.xml file it will be symlinked for xbmc usage.
