Hi Guys.

I am running 64bit Ubuntu and have just installed XBMC and the install has gone great so far. Easy to set up and configure and all my media now works.

I have installed lircrc and my remote works when in XBMC.

I have created a file .lircrc in my home share and added the following

begin
remote = mceusb
button = Home
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /usr/share/applications/XBMC Media Center
end

When i press the green button the remote it is not opening XBMC

Any ideas as to where i have gone wrong?

Thanks in advance

Craig

Just to update.

It was my path that was wrong. it should have been

begin
remote = mceusb
button = Home
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /usr/bin/xbmc
end

Thanks for sharing, WallaceTech.

Mind if I ask what brand & model of the MCE remote control you're using for XBMC?

Cheers,
