If you just want to use the lircrc in the described irxevent for jivelite scenario just put it in the /etc/lirc/ folder (it’s even the default folder for an global irexec-configuration which based this file too) – or anywhere else.
You have to start irxevent with the target file as paramter to get the solution to work:
irxevent /etc/lirc/lircrc

OK my fault – I’ve never just tried it directly with a newly downloaded one.
I’ve used an WiFi enabled and updated image from a B+ ….

So I have correct my wish list to an up to date image based on 2.26 😉
(Any chance for Jessie?)

Hi,

I’ve nearly the same configuration (7″ touch + jive lite + tsop4838@gpio + XBOX one remote clone) for both of my kids very stable and nearly indestructible.

At first I played around with some default key mappings like „KEY_RIGHT“ this worked – but the remote has a lot of more keys 😉
Since Jive Lite has no native IR/lirc support, I had to use irxevent:
1.) complete lircd.conf for all keys you wanted to use (for such a much-used remote like the XBOX one just download it somewhere ;-))
2.) take the whole needed mapping from IR-keys to the keyboard control of jive lite (reference: InputToActionMap.lua) in the lircrc config file
for example:

# Remote: VolumeUp
# Jivelite '+'
begin
   remote = XBOX-ONE
   prog = irxevent
   button = VolumeUp
   config = Key plus jivelite
end

or for multiple keyboard action just double the block:

# Remote: big green button
# jivelite at first stop playback 'C'
begin
   remote = XBOX-ONE
   prog = irxevent
   button = XboxFancyButton
   config = Key shift-c jivelite
end
# Remote: big green button
# jivelite second power off for display backlight 'q'
begin
   remote = XBOX-ONE
   prog = irxevent
   button = XboxFancyButton
   config = Key q jivelite
end

Instead of jivelite you may use CurrentWindow as target for the keyboard emulation and control even other applications with the mapped keys in the lircrc.

3.) On startup you need a script which waits for the successfull start of lircd and jivelite to start finally irxevent e.g.
irxevent /etc/lirc/lircrc

Always check lircd for running correctly (e.g. via irw) – otherwise thee hardware.conf may be not correct…

Hello,

since max2play based on raspbian, the standard images should run on the Zero flawlessly – it’s just a shrinked and doped A+

On the other hand: a ready build and downloadable image based on version 2.26 really would be great.
The WPS-Configuration of WiFi on Boot is just a killer feature for the Zero 😉

I’ve realised this with fhem (SB_Player / SB_Server) for squeeze – very reliable.

For shairport and DLNA I’ve did some tests with the CPU-load…. not very successfull…. but squeeze was the most important!
