EeeMC Remote

Setting up Remote Control in EeeMC

EeeMC default setup is for an MCE or Hauppage equivalent remote.

Setting up for other remotes

1. Access > System > Administration > Mythbuntu Control Centre, to select your remote.

2. Edit your ~/.lircrc file to bind your DVD button.

user@computer:~$ gedit ~/.lircrc

Add the following lines, using the correct name for your remote,

begin
remote = mceusb
prog = irexec
button = DVD
config = /usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.pl
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end

For EeeMC 11, add the following lines, using the correct name for your remote,

         begin
           remote = mceusb
           prog = irexec
   button = KEY_DVD
           config = /usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.pl
           repeat = 0
           delay = 0
         end

3. The end result will look something like this,

#Custom lircrc generated via mythbuntu-lirc-generator
#All application specific lircrc files are within ~/.lirc
include ~/.lirc/mythtv
include ~/.lirc/mplayer
include ~/.lirc/xine
include ~/.lirc/vlc
include ~/.lirc/xmame
include ~/.lirc/xmess
include ~/.lirc/totem
include ~/.lirc/elisa

begin
remote = mceusb
prog = irexec
button = DVD
config = /usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.pl
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end

or for EeeMC 11,

#Custom lircrc generated via mythbuntu-lirc-generator
#All application specific lircrc files are within ~/.lirc
include ~/.lirc/mythtv
include ~/.lirc/mplayer
include ~/.lirc/xine
include ~/.lirc/vlc
include ~/.lirc/xmame
include ~/.lirc/xmess
include ~/.lirc/totem
include ~/.lirc/elisa

begin
remote = mceusb
prog = irexec
button = KEY_DVD
config = /usr/local/bin/mythpowerbutton.pl
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
