OK, a bit confused between all the XBMC, OpenELEC and Rasplex documentation. For the latest 0.5.1 Rasplex on a RPi2, I need help with the following: I made it easy on myself and bought an IR receiver and a MCE remote. 95% of the keys work out of the box, although I don't know how since I can't…

Deleted. (Would just jumble the solution at the end)

I struggled with GPIO IR and trying to get it working. In the end i just bought a flirc usb dongle for $22 and never looked back. Extremely easy to program with the windows or mac software and works perfectly. I programmed my harmony remote to control my Rasplex but it will work with any IR remote i…

The FLIRC is even worse for me. Stuck keys, some commands not working. I'd prefer to get regular LIRC working if I can crack the code, but nobody seems to know what it is.

OK, I finally got it working 99%. I have no idea why, but after throwing stuff at the wall, it seems to do what I want now except for Aspect Ratio. I want to map the bottom row of buttons on my MCE remote to other commands since they don't do anything, and change two others. The remote I have is …

I finally cracked the code! You use a combination of XBMC functions that are already assigned, and then create new ones that are not being used by you. You do indeed need a remote.xml file for anything custom. I now have Aspect Ratio working. I used green & blue as keys since I don't have them o…
