lircrc or lircmap?

[williammanda]

In trying to get my remote setup I tried the traditional lirc setup by using ~/.lircrc. This worked initially after restarting lirc but once I rebooted the computer it no longer worked. After checking the use of my remote via mythtv and reviewing my recent boxee addition to ~/.lircrc, everything look correct but the remote still didn't work in Boxee. I scanned through the forums and found where /opt/boxee/system/lircmap was being used. I updated lircmap file and got the remote working in Boxee. My question is...I see some people post the lircrc info and other post the lircmap info...which is right or are they both right?
Thanks

I got my streamzap remote working by adding or editing a file at:
~/.boxee/UserData/Lircmap.xml

here is an example (contents of my file):

<lircmap>
	<remote device="Streamzap_PC_Remote">

Change the button codes to match your .lircrc and make sure you encode characters to xml example:
'>' = ' >'
