I'm trying to figure out how to get my Microsoft MCE remote to work with MythTV. I have the lircd.conf done, and irw reads correctly, but when I am in MythTV nothing happens. I know that I am supposed to have a .lircrc file but mythtv doesn't seem to see it. Right now I am just using the lircrc.example, and its using irxevent. If I run irxevent, I get nothing. I'm using MythTV-0.19. What am I doing wrong?

mythfrontend uses ~/.mythtv/lircrc for lirc. If you are using the right file, can you post it please, along with /etc/lircd.conf.

What version of the remote are you using? I've got an older-model Microsoft-branded, Phillips MCE remote working perfectly with one of my frontends. I'm not at home right now the firewall blocks unknown apps, so I can't get the specifics of my install right now, but pteppic is correct regarding the location of the config file.

And my .lircrc file:

end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = ChannelDown
repeat = 3
config = Key Down CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = Power
config = Key Escape CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = Menu
config = Key M CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuUp
repeat = 3
config = Key W CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuRight
repeat = 3
config = Key D CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuDown
repeat = 3
config = Key S CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuLeft
repeat = 3
config = Key A CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = Enter
config = Key KP_Enter CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 0
config = Key KP_0 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 1
config = Key 1 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 2
config = Key 2 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 3
config = Key 3 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 4
config = Key 4 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 5
config = Key 5 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 6
config = Key 6 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 7
config = Key 7 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 8
config = Key 8 CurrentWindow
end

begin
prog = irxevent
button = 9
config = Key 9 CurrentWindow
end

I'm just using the example .lircrc because it seemed to be enough to test with.
The remote is version two, but it appears to be missing the red, blue, yellow buttons on the bottom.

EDIT: Ah, I figured out my mistake. I should not have used that example .lircrc, because it's setup completely wrong for me and just confused me. Thanks for the input.
I'll post my finished config files here when I am done fixing .lircrc.

If you guys could post your .lircrc config files, that would be great too.
