## Microsoft Media Center Usb Remote Control

Altough this remote has been branded with the mark of the beast, it's a very usefull device for creating a media center pc.

First: verify if the usb identity of the device matches the ID below. In case of a older version, the mceusb already availble through lirc-0.7.1 should work.

    [root@freevo ~]# lsusb
    Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:0815 Philips

I use Fedora Core 4 with a lirc-0.7.1 version on board

    [root@freevo ~]# rpm -q lirc
    lirc-0.7.1-3

Everything you need to install

You need either to modify /etc/init.d/lirc to start up the device /dev/lirc0 or make a link from /dev/lirc to /dev/lirc0

You could use irw to check the keys pressed and modify /etc/freevo/lircrc
