 Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 3:17 pm Post subject: lirc + udev, Hauppauge remote |
 |
|
I've posted to the lirc, ivtv, and mythtv mailinglists, gotten a lot of help, but nothing that was able to give me a working remote.
Remote: Hauppauge PVR-350, rev990 (new grey remote)
Kernel: 2.6.9, 2.6.9-love, 2.6.10-love (tried all)
Lirc: 0.7.0
I can get all of the software installed and modules loaded with no problem. The lirc driver appears to find the receiver and creates the device. Running irw doesn't cause the daemon to crash (or give any errors at all), but it doesn't respond to any keys either. irrecord doesn't respond to keys. Strace-ing the lircd process doesn't give anything when keys are pressed. cat /dev/lirc0 is able to open the device, but no output can be seen.
I have tested the batteries in the remote, they are good. I have plugged the output of the IR receiver dongle into a voltmeter, and I get some millivolt-level fluctuations that imply that the hardware itself is likely working. The only thing I haven't tried is installing windows to see if it will work. (please don't make me!)
Can anybody suggest anything else that I can do to get this to work? There's probably a lot of information I haven't included here, if there's something that will help somebody debug my problem, let me know and I'll add it to the thread. Thanks! |

Hi,
Have you tried the tools irw or irecord provided with lirc to get the keys returned by your remote and compare them with the one in your lircrc file ?

irw does nothing when I press keys, irrecord times out with:
| Code: | | irrecord: gap not found, can't continue |
Seeing as I can't get irrecord to recognize the keypresses, I assume that my configuration isn't an issue at this point. I have tried a few different configurations, however, none did anything different. |

I don't have a PVR device but like you a cannot use irecord for the same reason . irecord returns a gap error.
In my case i use the input event kernel module and not the serial lirc config.
The only module i need is ir_common.
the /etc/conf.d/lircd file looks like:
| Code: |
LIRCD_OPTS="-H dev/input -d /dev/input/event2"

I'm not using the serial lirc module, either. I'm using the lirc_i2c device. AFAIK that's how I'm supposed to be connecting to this device.
Even though it can't detect the gaps, shouldn't cat /dev/lirc0 be spitting something out to the console when I press buttons on the remote? |

| Just to let you know, you're not alone. I've got the same problem. I just started on getting my MythTV box today and ran into this. I have the same Hauppauge card and remote and am following the same HOWTOs you are. I happen to have a learning remote on hand, so I used that to verify that the hauppauge remote is indeed sending out valid IR streams. irw doesn't pick up anything. Well, off to google a bit more |
