No responce on my machine to the "update-sudoers" request and I get "not found" to Is ?etc/sudoers.d input

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Then there is something very wrong with your Nokia N900 ...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I keep getting after I reinstalled too.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

that is normal. it is required to send the IR signal.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I guess I might be entering these wrongly as I don't seem to have any problems with any other apps I have downloaded too date.

What does "sudoers" actually control/relate to?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Ok well I get that but it still doesn't work.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

What do you get now from console (as normal user) when you run:
/opt/usr/bin/xbox360-media-remote

after pressing some buttons?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I don't get any response.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

That means that it should be working make sure have direct line of sight, try from quite close proximity and make sure you enabled the ir media remote in you Xbox 360s' settings menu.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I am in close proximity and in direct line of sight, and i did enable the media remote.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I wanna download it where can I find it ???

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Sorry ran this again as root and got a long list of "sudoers" listed ending with the last line of "xbox360-media-remote" is as you expected?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Make sure ir port is pointing at xbox (top right next camera button) and no fingers or objects are covering it.

HOT TIP

If you want to test your ir port is working try this:-

1. load up xbox360 media remote application on your N900.

2. using a digital camera or a camera on another phone look at your n900's ir port through the secondary units viewfinder lcd screen and every time you press a button on the media remote application that is running on the N900 you should see a small light come from the ir port on the N900.

see A light = working ir port :)

no light = nokia service centre (or application not installed correctly) :rolleyes:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I just tried that using my mom's phone, no light :(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Can you try again but instead of using your N900 can you try a TV remote and see if that shows up using your mums phone camera just to prove it works?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I tried it with a digital camera on my N900, and then my TV remote and it didn't show on any of them :S

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Strange.....

Even with a normal remote control you should see infra red light using a camera LCD display to view it.

Here is an image of my N900 IR signal using a Samsung digital camera.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I'm not getting anything like that, I tried with my Sony camera, my dad's, mom's and brothers' phones and no luck with any, on the remote or on my N900.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

problem is, I think some cameras have an IR filter so that your bbq doesn't look purple but natural.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Are you pointing the N900 IR at the camera lens and then viewing the N900 on the LCD screen.

I have tried this and whilst the Xbox360 remote doesn't work for me other IR apps I have downloaded work this way on my phone. So it seems the this app not the phone IR which is not working

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Can you run as normal user in xterm:
sudo irsend list "" ""

and tell me exactly what it says.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Awesome trick! It definitely worked for all of my IR devices! A little reassuring to see that my N900's IR port is fine.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I have ran this and got:_

irsend: RM-ED019
irsend: Xbox360
irsend: Xbox360MediaRemote

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Idk if you were talking to me or not, but I got "irsend: not enough arguments.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Then you typed it wrong.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Now try:
sudo irsend send_once Xbox360MediaRemote Xbox360_Power

whilst pointing your N900s port towards your xbox.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I tried again and got irsend: could not connect to socket. irsend: no such file or directory.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

In which case lircd isn't running so you need to enter:
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start

first, then run the irsend command again.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I got irsend: Xbox360MediaRemote.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Well, that's positive, now try:
sudo irsend send_once Xbox360MediaRemote Xbox360_Power

which tells the N900 directly, to send the power command to an Xbox 360, make sure your IR port is directly pointing at the IR sensor on the Xbox 360 (which is below the DVD tray). And good luck.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

On entering this I didn't get a responce on XTerm however having opened the Xbox media remote it now seems to be working, having pointed the N900 directly at the Xbox IR reader.

Hopefully it will now work? If so it is a great christmas present for me!

Thanks for all your time and assistance.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I'm glad you finally have it working :D Merry Christmas.

The best test is to turn off/on your N900 and try running the app when it starts up.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

I got it to work with just /opt/usr/bin/xbox360-media-remote :D
Thanks for all the help :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Awesome, glad you've got it working now :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Well, it's just been promoted into Extras, thanks all of you that voted. :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

When running Xbox media remote trough Xterm i get a box that says i couldnt load the required kernal moudles lirc-modules-source to build kernal support for your hardware. i have looked around the web and cant find any help on this subject. Any help would be much appreciated

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Belated X-mas, kids got an Xbox and this remote works like a charm. Most of the buttons are right,just a little small. I have large fingers. So the only thing I see to accomodate that would be the remote being broken down into 3 screens or just a bigger scrollable remote,
Distance is good, getting about 6ft. in the low postion and about 12ft. when mounted high. I loved messing with the kids in the middle of there game!
"Mom! Dad is using his phone to mess with the Xbox” PRICELESS!!!!:D
and a minimize button to send it to the desktop, thanks again.

Heya Tswindell!

Did you catch this post?

He managed to feature WiFi support on his.

He also has the source code available.

Any chance you could steal some of his work for your project? :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Happy new year Addison

I could be totally wrong here but I think these are two completely different things. xbmc is not the same as the official xbox360 media player. AFAIK xbmc was a homebrew project that was developed for the original xbox but now runs on pcs and many other things too. meaning even if they developed it to be controlled by wifi it is not relevant to the xbox360 media remote. It will not be possible to control the 360 through wifi unless MS implemented some network control feature on the actual 360 media player and AFAIK they haven't. You are stuck with IR only I'm afraid.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote
 

Heya Cue!

Yeah! Happy New Year to you as well!

Actually, I only have an old, original Xbox and an older tablet than yours.

I'm cheap, but not easy. :)

But yeah, I'm hoping for anything other than the IR remote.

Right now, I use XBMC every day but have to access it by a web page.

It's not bad, but it would be nice to have a few more features than what I'm currently using. :)
