Rhythmbox: LIRC plugin does not work

[unimatrix]

Hello. I got my remote working, but Rhythmbox doesn't seem to understand the signals it's getting.

When I run rhythmbox like this:

rhythmbox -d 2>&1 | grep lirc

And press some buttons on my remote (for example Play, Stop, Previous, Next) this is what I get:

This is the lirc config file I'm using:

bump?

OK solved it myself.

What I had to do was use a correct .lircrc file (note: the lircrc entries called button= must relate to button names in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf)

Here is my .lircrc file that works with Rhythmbox:

##
# Rhythmbox key bindings.
##
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Play
        config = playpause
end
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Pause
        config = playpause
end
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Stop
        config = stop
end
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Step
        config = seek_forward
end
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Slow
        config = seek_backward
end
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Next
        config = next
end
begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        button = Previous
        config = previous
end
