Hi

My case is a Thermaltake Mozart medialab

Files are here, the forum file uploader doesnt seem to work too well.

www.suls.co.uk/downloads/OpenElecImonFiles.rar

the addons relate to the generic build of OE, so hope you are using that..

I'm just about to update the above post to include the fact you need to create Lirc.xml as well to pick up a couple of the buttons on the remote.

I've also included the Lirc tools addon in the rar you can see if your remote is working in SSH by using the irw command.

Good luck getting it going.

I must add that the LCD is actually working fine here without any changes. It's just the remote that's not giving any reaction. Nice case btw

I was pointed towards the files by Ancalex, they are linked to in some of his other posts so I don't know if there is a website somewhere with all the relevant builds on... it would be handy

As luck would have it the only other build of mksquash i have is the X64 ion

www.suls.co.uk/downloads/shell.squashfs-...ION.x86_64-2.0.0.zip

I only have the 386 build of Lirc tools, dont know if Ancalex can help you out with that?

If not I think evtest (XBMC > Add ons > Open elec > system > Evtest) does roughly the same thing...

Actually I think this is what you need

Getting back on this on. Your proposed action fixed most of my problems, so I was happy and didn't actually check if all my problems were solved. It turns out they're not and the part that's not working is fixing the extra buttons on my remote. The copy_SYSTEM part works, changing the imon_pad keymap works, but then why I try to pack the system (pack_SYSTEM) I get this message:

root / # pack_SYSTEM
Squashing new SYSTEM, copying to update directory
/storage/.xbmc/addons/shell.squashfs-tools.mksquashfs/bin/mksquashfs: line 29: /storage/.xbmc/addons/shell.squashfs-tools.mksquashfs/bin/mksquashfs.bin: cannot execute binary file
All done. Reboot to upgrade

It's also immediately finished and it didn't actually create an update. Any ideas how I can get mksquashfs.bin working? I'm using an x86-64 1.95.2 PVR ION build

Thanks Ancalex. I've uninstalled the addon and installed a different one and now that part works.
That also got my remote buttons working as described by suls. I basically have one thing left which is not working. I have a function knob on my HTPC case. This knob currently just serves as an extra volume up/down (just like the volume up/down buttons below it, so it doesn't really make sense to use it that way). Pressing it does nothing.
On my old XBMC install the knob could be used to browse the menu's. Volume up went to the right, volume down to the left. Pressing the knob would choose the selected object. These are the codes I used in my old install to get this working:
010000ff00003901 00 KnobVolDown iMON-PAD
000100ff00003901 00 KnobVolUp iMON-PAD
000001ff00003901 0a KnobClick iMON-PAD

However, this is rather different from the codes in the imon_pad file. Anyone any idea on how to get that knob doing something useful?

sfinxx1 OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 1 Karma: 0	hi, I have an soundgraph imon-pad + vfd on my case. On new OE 3.0 RC2, my remote can be used without to modify or i need to do all changes write here ? thanks. PS : on ubuntu 10.04 and xbmc eden + lirc, i used lirc_imon driver iMON-PAD. Now, if i use ubuntu 12.04, lirc and driver are in ubuntu core so i can't use all remote's fonction .

sfinxx1: You probably have to do the things listed here. I did when upgrading to OE 3.0 RC2

I have an addition to suls manual which makes things a bit easier:
Instead of suls lines for autostart.sh, use these:
/usr/bin/ir-keytable -c > /dev/null 2>&1
/usr/bin/ir-keytable -w /storage/.config/imon_pad > /dev/null 2>&1

Now do
cp /etc/rc_keymaps/imon_pad /storage/.config
and edit the imon_pad file in the /storage/.config directory. The advantages:
- No more messing with squashfs. You don't need to change the SYSTEM anymore
- Much easier to upgrade to the latest version as your changes to SYSTEM would get lost in the upgrade, these won't.

Hi
I have same problem with pack_SYSTEM

openelec:~ # pack_SYSTEM
Squashing new SYSTEM, copying to update directory
/storage/.xbmc/addons/shell.squashfs-tools.mksquashfs/bin/mksquashfs: line 29: 
/storage/.xbmc/addons/shell.squashfs-tools.mksquashfs/bin/mksquashfs.bin: cannot execute binary file

I use OE 2.99.5 generic on AMD A6 cpu.
First I tried mksquashfs from openelec.repo.ancalex.x86_64-2.1
Then I uninstalled mksquashfs and ancalex repo and installed openelec.repo.ancalex.i386-2.1
Now it looks like:

openelec:~/.xbmc/addons/shell.squashfs-tools.mksquashfs/bin # file ./mksquashfs.bin
./mksquashfs.bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, BuildID[sha1]=5ced0afc4b286b8a3e6d57dd647493294ea789f2, not stripped

uname -m
i686

Please help me. What repository to use?

EDITING MY OWN POST:
Problem was in x86 - x64 version of Ancalex tools. Generic OpenELEC version is x86.
First I used x64 version of Ancalex tools (openelec.repo.ancalex.x86_64-2.1). This was mistake.
Next I used right version (openelec.repo.ancalex.i386-2.1) but there was still x64 version somewhere in "cache".
Solution was here: http://openelec.tv/forum/105-keyboards/63145-how-to-add-bluetooth-mksquashfs-32bit-missing

Run command

rm /storage/.xbmc/addons/packages/shell.squashfs-tools.mksquashfs*

to delete old version, then install right version x86.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, did everything that you described but I don't see anything in irw.

Strange enough I do see all commands twice when I have an external reciever connected (Standard Microsoft MCE IR Reciever) but when I disconnect the external reciever, I don't see any commands in irw.

Both my display and my ir reciever are recognized by OE though, because I do see them in de device list:
