This remote can work as a USB keyboard connected via USB (the IR
receiver). So I've turned off lirc and just use it as if it was a
remote keyboard. I believe the keystrokes transmitted are as follows
(the right hand column shows the MythTV function I'm using that
keystroke for).
1 1

One little problem with some of these key combos is that they can't
all be mapped to MythTV (eg Alt+Super+Return) and some of don't seem
to transmit a keystroke (eg Mute, VOL+ etc) so you can't use these
buttons on the remote. Also, you can't map triple keystrokes such as
Ctrl-Shift-A through the Myth UI - you have to do update the jump
points manually in MySQL. An example of the SQL to use is:
mysql> update keybindings set keylist=',,<,Ctrl+Shift+r'
where hostname = 'your.mythtv.box' and action='RWNDSTICKY';
It's a little bit of a pain but once done it all works fine. I'm very
pleased with this setup now and the remote is very good. One thing to
watch out for is the "Mouse" button on the remote - if you press that
it seems to toggle off transmission of keystrokes. So, if your remote
stops working, just try pressing that button and it might toggle
everything back to working order again.
I've CC'd the list in case anyone else find this helpful.
Good luck,
Phill
