Start Kodi by MCE HID remote green button

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

Hy, I have Lubuntu 16.04, Kodi 16.1 and a Konig HID MCE remote.
The remote works perfectly inside Kodi but I would like to start Kodi by pressing the green “start” button normally used to start Windows Media Center in Windows.
I read a lot of discussion about that, but I could not figure out how to do that with my remote because of of my lack of experience with Linux and my bad english…
I’m tryng to follow this guide:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Setup_Lirc

First of my problems is to identify my remote to complete the firts step:

Quote:You have downloaded and installed Lirc and are now ready to set it up. First, check if your IR receiver is already preconfigured. Ubuntu stores the configuration files in ‘/usr/share/lirc/remotes but you can also find them in the source tree in the remotes directory. If you can find you remote, copy the config file to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and open the file with a text editor. Delete the lines between begin codes and end codes.

I can not find anything with “konig name” but someone as told me to do the terminal comand “cat /proc/bus/input/devices” and in my opinion I think my remote is identified by these two items:

Code:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=1241 Product=e000 Version=0110
N: Name="HOLTEK     PC receiver "
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.3-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.0/0003:1241:E000.0001/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event3 leds
B: PROP=0
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=10000 7 ff800000 7ff febeffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=1f

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=1241 Product=e000 Version=0110
N: Name="HOLTEK     PC receiver "
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.3-1/input1
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb4/4-1/4-1:1.1/0003:1241:E000.0002/input/input6
U: Uniq=

B: PROP=0

B: KEY=3007f 0 0 0 0 4c3ffff 17aff32d bf544446 0 0 1f0001 130c13 b17c000 267bfa d951dfed 9e1680 4400 0 10000002
B: REL=143
B: ABS=7f01 0
B: MSC=10

So I am convinced my remote name for Linux is HOLTEK PC receiver…. And I found a “Holtek” lircd.conf file in this database http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ and so I used it fot the configuration. But I don’t know if I’m right….

Carrying on… my second problem is when the guid says:

Code:
root@computer:/etc/lirc# irrecord --driver=irman --device=/dev/ttyS0 MyRemote ## use the driver that you chose in the previous part. /dev/ttyS0 = first com port

I don’t know what to insert because I don’t understand how to find my remote device=/dev/ttyX path.
How can I find it? In the “cat /proc/bus/input/devices” I can’t find something like evice=/dev/tty…..
Can someone help me? Thanks

p.s. The remote is a Konig CMP-MEDIAREM12
