Here is a video showing how to configure an IR remote to work with OSMC for Raspberry Pi
It includes recording a custom lircd.conf file which contains the keymappings
All the commands are mentioned in the video description in YouTube.
Hardware needed
1. Raspberry Pi
2. IR Receiver such as TSOP38238
3. Any IR Remote

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a step by step guide on how to setup XBMC on my PC (Win7 - 64bit) to run as a server and XBMC on my N10, so I can stream content from my PC to watch on my tablet.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
You don't need to setup xbmc on the computer. All you need is an windows share with the video files on it. Xbmc for android will stream those video files without needing the server to do anything. You can also use a standalone network storage device.
Shane_pcs is exactly right. I just did this yesterday with the XMBC RC2 Android release and it works very well off of SAMBA/NFS server shares. I even have MythTV v0.26 running on my back end server and the XMBC plugin works for PVR LiveTV and recording viewing.
Just google for a how-to on setting up file shares on whatever platform your video files reside.
I am hoping to build a media server to replace my simple setup. Now I have an external hardbdrive connected to my Samsung smart TV which plays my movies. Now I want a media player connected to my Tv with the hard drive that I can access remotely and can update over the net (add movies to it)
Can the pi2 do this?

I had an entire media server running with a Raspberry Pi 1 model B, that also ran a few python scripts. I'm sure the Pi 2 has more than enough horsepower for your needs.

really, thats impressive. Did you follow a guide to do that? Could the pi do any transcoding?
Yes and no...........
I used a lot of tutorials, and parts of tutorials, and just playing around.
It was the results of my playing around in linux. The solution actually consisted of more than just the server end. I had the Pi sharing a 3TB hdd via NFS, and at the time I had another Pi connected to my TV running Kodi media center. (I've since moved to an old Quad core which works much better, for obvious reasons.)
The Original Model B wasn't powerful enough to do any transcoding and I don't have any experience with the Pi 2 yet, but I had a lot going on in that lil box and it served me fairly well. I had 2 python scripts running to collect and sort media, an SQL db to sync multiple instances of Kodi, a newsbin client, torrent client, and web server running off the same Pi.
I only encountered a few issues and could never get WAN streaming working, but I suspect that may have been something with my router configs.
I simply sat down and thought up what I wanted my server to do, and started hitting the web to find ways to do it, one feature at a time.
Via this IFTTT Trigger:

What is amazing/scary is that I loaded this link in Firefox and it already knew my Logitech Harmony Ultimate Activities. I have Activities for DirecTV, BluRay, FireTV, CD Deck, and OTA TV. With one button I power on the source and switch to the correct HDMI feeds to the display and to the sound system . So now if I say, "Alexa, Trigger FireTV" my FireTV is ready for action with the picture and sound correctly selected. "Alexa, Trigger DirecTV" properly re-configures everything for that. Still working on Power Off but it sort of works.
Logitech is working with Amazon to make it all native but for now, IFTTT is slick as snot.
Good afternoon,
I have to do a project in raspberry pi 3, namely the creation and setting up a media center.
I would like to receive tips, what I can incorporate into raspberry pi and what I can do besides a media center.
Greetings,

Hi all
noticed the MECOOL KM2 have an app called "Android TV Infrared Service" .
Im wondering if I can use the MECOOL KM2 Remote control (G10) On any streamer with this app?
Is there anyway to get this apk?
Why google not releasing the app to use their G10 remote on any streamer?
Thanks in advance
Not all devices have an IR receiver (e.g. the WalMart Onn 4k) so the remote wouldn't work. It only has Bluetooth and USB. It is missing the required physical hardware.
