I tried your tutorial with mythbuntu 9.04 today and it worked! Now I can use my Wii-Remote to control mythTV AND xmbc -- very nice! I've got another trick that can be used instead of a IR-Diode. Simply put one or two CANDLES (yes!) next to your PC. This can also be used as an emitter of IR-Radiation. Works fine here. Next thing to do is: Autostart wminput with systemstart... Hi.

You can easily go out to radio shack and get an IR led and attach it to a battery with a transistor between it and the battery. The remote trick was just what we were able to rig up real quick from some stuff we found laying around. You don’t have to destroy a remote.
