Edit included lircd.conf?

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I have this xbox360 media remote…

Most of the keys work fine using the included config for the white 360 media remote but I want to change the keys that correspond to guide and live tv. What is the best way of going about this?

Copy the conf file file to the OSMC home directory:

cp /etc/lirc/xbox360-lircd.conf /home/osmc

Then customise the version in /home/osmc, then in MyOSMC remotes use the browse option to browse to your modified version.

If you try to edit the original file directly it may get overwritten in a future update.

BTW when you’ve done your changes can you let us know what the changes were ? I wrote the xbox 360 lirc conf myself from scratch, assigning the buttons as best as I could so I’d be interested to see what you thought was lacking, and if your changes make sense for all users we could incorporate those in a future update.

The large xbox guide button I left unassigned mainly because I couldn’t think of anything useful to assign it to, as there is already a “guide” button as well…

The Live TV button I don’t recall what that got mapped to - as I don’t use PVR features in Kodi it might not be assigned the best way.

I ended up making more changes and doing a custom lircd.conf. Before I saw your reply I loaded the lircd.conf in MyOSMC and had the lircmap.xml and remote.xml is the correct /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/ (keymaps) folder with the remote name defined in the .xml files, but irw still showed the commands defaulting to linux input layer commands… any reason this would happen?

as it is now I’m using that custom config and have cp and modified the default .xml files as follows:

Changes to Lircmap.xml:

<guide>KEY_EPG</guide>

Changes to remote.xml:

<FullscreenLiveTV>
    <remote>
       <select>ActivateWindow(TVGuide)</select>

<TVGuide>  
    <remote>
       <guide>ActivateWindow(FullscreenVideo)</guide>

<FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
       <guide>ActivateWindow(TVGuide)</guide>

I may also change the “xbox” (power) button to globally bring up the shutdown menu

BTW when using the default xbox360 config the yellow and red buttons output the same as the “guide” and “livetv”, hence I left the color buttons out completely
