Configuring LIRC for Windows Media Center Remote

Leave a reply

Although I have read that is fairy difficult to configure, and things alike that on wikis, but was so easy at here, I think I have luck and it detected it immediately and without any problem, here the easy setup.

sudo apt-get install lirc lirc-modules-source module-assistant

Now on configuration

Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all) -> None -> DONE!

To test out the controller, is

irw

while doing this, click the keys in your controller and they will appear if it was detected correctly. Here, all were detected.

If you want to make it work with KDE and KDE apps,

apt-get install kdelirc

And configure the keys in System Settings.

This guide was copy/pasted from my old weblog and it might or NOT work now.

You need to start downloading ushare and the dependencies

sudo apt-get install ushare

Then

sudo nano /etc/ushare.conf

Or easier

Ubuntu: gksu gedit /etc/ushare.conf
Kubuntu: kdsu kate /etc/ushare.conf

And change the following lines

# uShare UPnP Friendly Name (default is 'uShare').
USHARE_NAME=<strong>ANYTHINGYOUWANT</strong>
# Directories to be shared (space or CSV list).
# Ex: USHARE_DIR=/dir1,/dir2
USHARE_DIR=<strong>/YOUR/PATH</strong>
# Use DLNA profile (yes/no)
# This is needed for PlayStation3 to work (among other devices)
ENABLE_DLNA=<strong>yes</strong>

Then just run it!

ushare -x

Done this and working perfectly with my Playstation 3, should work with other compatible devices as Xbox 360 or TVs.
