<p>How about simply changing the keybindings within one or both applications so the one inpuit.conf works in both?</p>

There is also the option to use LIRC with the devinput[1] driver, which<br>
takes is input directly from /dev/input/eventX allowing you to use any<br>
keyboard/mouse as an LIRC input. This means you can then just configure<br>
LIRC to have different mappings for Myth vs XMBC<br>
<br>
However the problem I found with this method is that the<br>
/dev/input/eventX only gets created when the PS3 remote connects for the<br>
first time after a reboot, meaning you can't start LIRC until you've<br>
pressed a button on the remote (otherwise LIRC just exits as it cannot<br>
find the device).<br>
<br>
I assume its possible to do some jiggery-pokery with udev to reserve the<br>
device so it appear before it actually pairs. Or write some script that<br>
waits until /dev/input/eventX exists, before LIRC is started.<br>
<br>
But as I didn't need to control two different programs I didn't see any<br>
advantage in using LIRC in my situation, so I just changed to using the<br>
/etc/bluetooth/input.conf method instead.<br>
