I generated the config file for this remote using a utility that is part of LIRC called 'irrecord'.

If you have a different remote, then you can generate a config file for it using this tool.

The process is as follows:

• Turn the remote off on XBMC using Rasbmc as we did before using 'mode2'.

• Rename the existing lircd.conf out of the way

• Type the command 'irrecord --list-namespace'. This will tell you the allowed key names that you can use when prompted.

• Type the command 'irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 ~/lircd.conf'

• Follow the instructions to the letter. It all seems a bit odd, but the program has to work out the timings and encodings used by the remote.
