Does anyone know how to get this remote to work with OSMC.?
I’ve got an RC6 remote working but would love to use this one…
I’m pretty sure it’s just another RC6 remote
I have an RC6 remote that works with my current setup… This remote doesn’t work, It’s definitely sending out a signal as i’ve programed my TV code into it and it’s controlling my TV/AVR.
Is that a Microsoft remote or some aftermarket?
You can always learn it
The RC6 remote I have is an aftermarket one… The one I’m trying to use is a Microsoft one…
How do I learn it.?
OSMC Forums Step 3 Change any path etc with “pi” in it to “osmc”
Once you have created the .conf file go to MyOSMC remote module and browse to it
I think you’ll find that it’s very close to the RC6 supplied, maybe some differences in the remote signal definition area. These remotes are the same as the MCE remote, they just have the remote ID changed so they can co exist with a MCE PC in the same room.
There is a button sequence on the remote that will change the remote ID, can’t remember what it is though.
Sorry I may not have been clear. My thoughts are all that will be different are the remote header, you can learn just a few buttons and then compare to the existing RC6 conf file, if button codes are the same but headers have changed then you can use the existing button codes rather than learning all the buttons
Thanks Dilligaf,
Although that tutorial is a bit beyond my skill set…
It’s really not hard if you can ssh.
If you could capture a few keys I would like to have a look at it and try to figure it out
Try this,copy/paste it into a text file named Xbox360-lircd.conf save it to somewhere on your Pi then browse to it in the remote module and select it

Do you know if it’s possible to cut/past from your one into the 2nd one to make a more comprehensive file with more of the buttons covered.?
The codes look the same to me.?
OK, so that file you posted works the 360, correct?
now copy/paste this to the top of the file overwriting what’s there[code]

This should now (hopefully) work with a MCE remote, if it does edit the file and change pre_data 0x1BFF82
to this
pre_data 0x1BFF80
If all goes as expected the 360 remote should now work.
I think the pre_data is the key, let me know what happens
I use that remote for all 4 of my installs. I don’t know where I originally found the lirc.conf but I have pasted my current working one here. All of the buttons have function including the Xbox button at the top for the context menu. I have been playing around with the remote for the Xbox One as well so you will see code at the bottom for that. I never did clean any of the file so it looks a mess but at least it gives credit to whom ever I got it from.

That’s awesome… Thanks Jace
Works like a charm.!!! Context menu and everything
:o)
Glad I could help!
Forgot to mention the record button on the remote has been mapped to stop. Disp at the bottom does nothing but I think it’s a TV button.

I just got a V4K+
I also have an old X360 remote which is listed as being compatible in the My OSMC >Remotes
I “select” that remote to use but it does not operate my V4K+
Sadly, I can’t access the config file area fom my laptop.
