X10 is a radio remote compatible with LIRC
Contents
Install LIRC
# pacman -S lirc lirc-utils
The package lirc provides the right kernel module.
To support power actions directly from xbmc (like shutdown option) upower and consolekit packages need to be installed
# pacman -S upower consolekit
Blacklist not working module
For some reason udev loads the wrong kernel module for this radio remote, so you need to blacklist it. This is done in /etc/modprobe.d/
Errors in dmesg with the wrong module:
ati_remote 1-1.1:1.0: Unknown input from channel 0x00: data 72,9d ati_remote: Weird data, len=5 20 fa 5b 65 b6 20 ... ati_remote: Weird data, len=5 20 fa db 5d b6 00 ...
To blacklist the module create the following file:
/etc/modprobe.d/remote_blacklist.conf
# For some reason udev loads the wrong kernel module for the X10 radio remote, so blacklist it blacklist ati_remote
You need to unload the wrong kernel module manually if you attached the receiver before blacklisting the module.
If blacklisting is not working properly, use rc.local file to unload module manually.
rmmod ati_remote && /etc/rc.d/lircd restart
Add the daemon to the daemons array to start it at boot:
DAEMONS="(... lircd)"
Create /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
This maps the keys from your remote to strings you can use for programs like mplayer.
It can automatically generated or copied from one of the provided examples in /usr/share/lirc/remotes
.
To generate your own lircd.conf use:
sudo irrecord -H atilibusb --disable-namespace lircd.conf
More details are available at LIRC#Making_a_configuration_file.
Here is one for a Medion X10 Remote:

Edit /etc/conf.d/lircd.conf
Recent versions of LIRC drop support for the lirc_atiusb kernel module and so it is now necessary to use the atilibusb driver.
Simply add "atilibusb" to the LIRC_DRIVER field so that the file looks like this:
# Parameters for lirc daemon # LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" LIRC_DRIVER="atilibusb" LIRC_EXTRAOPTS="" LIRC_CONFIGFILE=""
Starting lircd
# /etc/rc.d/lircd start
Example mplayer config
You need to remove --disable-lirc from mplayers PKGBUILD and recompile it, as it is disabled by default (04.02.09)
You can check if LIRC support is compiled in with "mplayer -v someplayablefile.xyz", look for "Setting up LIRC support.
~/.lircrc
is the default mplayer filename for the LIRC config, see man mplayer to change this.
Change in ~/.lircrc
:
begin button = VOLUME_UP #VOLUME_UP is the string defined in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf prog = mplayer config = volume 1 #this is mplayers internal command, see "mplayer -input cmdlist" for more end begin button = VOLUME_DOWN prog = mplayer config = volume -1 end begin button = RIGHT prog = mplayer config = seek +1 end begin button = LEFT prog = mplayer config = seek -1 end begin button = UP prog = mplayer config = seek +50 end begin button = DOWN prog = mplayer config = seek -50 end begin button = PLAY prog = mplayer config = pause end begin button = PAUSE prog = mplayer config = pause end #show elapse/total time in the upper left corner #Source: http://prasinos.eu/articles/mplayer-lirc-elapsed-time begin button = GUIDE prog = mplayer config = osd_show_property_text "${time_pos} / ${length}" end
