    Rosewill MCE remote works with LIRC not with Kodi

    I have a Rosewill RHRC-11002 MCE Remote that I am trying to get to work with a new Giabyte Brix GB-BXBT-1900 HTPC loaded with Ubuntu 14.04. Out of the box the remote will work for the volume, mute left right up and down buttons but not much else (without being able to use the OK button to select options it is pretty well useless).
    I installed LIRC and tried the buttons using irw which worked perfectly
    Code:
    david@MainSqueeze:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
    [sudo] password for david: 
     * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC                               [ OK ] 
     * Loading LIRC modules                                                  [ OK ] 
     * Starting remote control daemon(s) :                                   [ OK ] 
    david@MainSqueeze:~$ irw

    Problem is it still won't work with Kodi. Not sure what the problem is as I thought MCE remotes worked out of the box

    Re: Rosewill MCE remote works with LIRC not with Kodi

    I just did a major update on my Kodi box last weekend and the MCE remote stopped working like it worked previously. It wasn't all bad, but the green button didn't work and double button presses were always seen. The fix for me was easy. Remove the softlink and put in a different one for my RC6 remote. In /etc/lirc - lircd.conf was a link. Just had to point that to rc6-mce-lircd.conf. I rebooted because I was lazy. All has been good since then.

    Normally, I don't reboot over some tiny change like this - just a restart should have been enough.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Turns out to be a simple matter of rebooting after configuring LIRC. As soon as I rebooted it worked :0)
