#RF Remote Philips SRM7500 for KODI Configuration, Lircmap, keymap for RF Philips SRM-7500 Remote especially for OSMC

##About Hello, I have a RF remote Philips SRM-7500 and I use a OSMC system. Previous version of lirc.conf, lircmap.xml was too old to work well (not all buttons works).

So I decided to rewrite from scratch these configurations, and make a tutorial for others to also be able to use this remote for his beloved KODI system. All 46 buttons on the remote is working, and a longpress function (don't work now).

IMPORTANT!: English is not my native language! so please do not look for spelling mistakes.

##Instalation

####Instalation is very easy!

The fist part is to make start lirc when the system is starting.

0. Connect via PuTTY to your KODI system.
1. Go to the folder /etc

• cd /etc

2. Open rc.local in text editor.

• sudo nano rc.local

3. Paste this

• lircd --driver=srm7500libusb /etc/lirc/philips-srm-7500-lircd.conf --device=macShortAddress=12:34,remoteShortAddress=56:78,macPANId=9a:bc
  • before exit 0. This will look like this
  • Informations what this command do: here

4. DONE

The second part is to download the new config.

0. Connect via PuTTY to your KODI system.
1. Go to the folder /etc/lirc (before that, type "cd" to be sure you are in home folder)

• cd /etc/lirc/

2. Remove the default config if exist

• sudo rm philips-srm-7500-lircd.conf

3. Download the new config

• sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Matis253/SRM7500-kodi/master/philips-srm-7500-lircd.conf

4. DONE

The last part is to download the Lircmap.xml to the kodi folder.

0. Connect via PuTTY to your KODI system.
1. Go to folder .kodi/userdata (before that, type "cd" to be sure you are in home folder)

• cd .kodi/userdata/

2. Download the new Lircmap

• wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Matis253/SRM7500-kodi/master/Lircmap.xml

3. DONE

Now you can reboot the system. And it works.

If you want to change some buttons, you can make a keymap. I make some changes to buttons, because I don't use a teletext, and I make other functions here. If you want to look at my changes go there Tutorial is here
