Title: Xbmc And Rc6 Remote...

You have way too many unknowns in your setup.

Try a different IR dongle, one that you know works.

I'm pretty sure XBMC will recognize RCA (like the original xbox remote) remotes only by default. you need to get the codes for the buttons and edit the appropriate XML files:

XBMC on the Xbox only can be put in a test mode to display the code number read when you press a button on your remote by setting <displayremotecodes> to true in advancedsettings.xml.

my one for all remotes only work with official MS dongles..
(dont know why)
I have a few that have a region switch on the bottom.
they work fine with an MS remote but the same code for my onefor all wont work for the one with the switch (dont ask it dosent make any sence to me)

any way ive had to use auto search function for a VCR. to get some onefor all remotes to work with the xbox..
so try that

I'm really curious as to whether the remote is working at all.


Pretty sure it is.

 When in Xbox, I can see the codes coming up on-screen, like 0=48, 1=49, etc.

No, that was with the universal remote, set up to emulate an Xbox remote, so that just proves that the dongle is working ok.

I still haven't seen any response with the RC6 remote. The fact that I couldn't get the RC6 remote to work with Mediaportal, which has several remote settings, could mean the RC6 isn't working, but at the same time, I don't know if I should expect the RC6 remote to work with the USB receiver connected to the Mediaportal PC, I don't know if these IR USB receivers are all fairly generic, require additional drivers to be installed, or just aren't compatible.

I'll come back to it again at some stage and give it another try when I have more time.
