Generic HID Remote Driver for XBMC

This is a generic hid driver for use with XBMC if your computer came with a hid remote or you bought one. The base code was provided by coldsource

After having successfully used this for a while, I started having trouble when I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 11.04 and later to Ubuntu 11.10. I debugged it a bit and provided this slightly hacked version that made it work for me.

This is provided asis and without any guarantee. Please see LICENCE for more details.

Usage

Compile the drivers

$ make

Make sure your HID remote is recognized (listed)

$ sudo ./hid_mapper --list-devices

Run with learn mode so you can create your map file

TODO

Run with the map file to use it

$ sudo ./run_remote

Extra steps if you need autostart
