 Posted: Mon Sep 14, 2015 10:27 am Post subject: Sony PS3 BD remote with Kodi (xbmc) |
 |
|
This would also fit in Kernel & Hardware, but I put it here since I feel like I mostly have that end of the problem solved at this point. I have a Logitech Harmony Remote that I'm trying to use to control Kodi via bluetooth. The most straightforward way to do this (that I could think of) was to have the remote pretend to be a PS3 BD remote and to have my computer pretend to be a PS3.
If you think there's a better remote for it to pretend to be, I am all ears—I'm definitely not married to the PS3 one.
Also, by the way, I've found a lot of guides for using a PS3 BD remote with linux, but they all rely on bluez 4 and also on a patch from a website that's been 404ing for a couple years  .
At this point, I've managed to pair them using bluetoothctl, the remote appears to believe my computer is a PS3, and I can see every button press with hcidump. I can't get my computer to actually treat it as a keyboard, though.
When the remote turns on and connects to the computer, hcidump -X shows the following:

And the following appears in /proc/bus/input/devices:

If I press, say, all the directional buttons on the remote, I see this from hcidump -X:

However, when I run startx, I see the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
| Code: | [1002205.336] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Bluetooth HID Boot Protocol Device (/dev/inp
ut/event2)

[1002205.360] (EE) PreInit returned 8 for "Bluetooth HID Boot Protocol Device"
[1002205.360] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev" |
I've also copied http://blog.lvengine.com/Imgs/articles/article_14/input.conf into /etc/bluetooth/input.conf (with an updated MAC address). But I can't get X to react to any button presses on the remote.
Possibly relevant is that I have HID_SONY currently compiled into the kernal as a module:
However, this is all that appears in lsmod when I first connect with the remote:
| Code: | Module Size Used by
hidp 13914 1 |
I can run modprobe hid_sony, but all that ever gets me is:
| Code: | Module Size Used by
hid_sony 12964 0
hidp 13914 1 |
I feel like I am just so close here, like there's maybe just a single line of code that I need to put somewhere to get this working. But heck if I know what to put—and where. Any ideas?
Thank you for reading!

One thing I'll highlight that could be particularly relevant is this line in /proc/bus/input/devices:
While other devices in there have lines like this:
| Code: | | H: Handlers=kbd event1 |
My bet is that the lack of "kbd" is a meaningful clue, but it sure doesn't mean anything to me.
I've given up (for now) on doing this The Right Way, so now I'm trying to figure out a way to pipe hcidump into some sort of virtual keyboard input device. Has anybody done anything like that before? If so, would you point me at a good place to start?
Much appreciated,
Matt |
