 Posted: Thu Jun 30, 2005 7:15 pm Post subject: remote on hauppauge tv card doesn't work |
 |
|
I have a hauppauge winTv go 2 wich uses the cx88xx kernel module and this remote.
i emerged lirc like this:
| Code: | | LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=hauppauge" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge lirc |
this installs lirc with no errors but doesn't create /dev/lirc0, only /dev/lircd and /dev/lircm.
i modified /etc/conf.d/lircd like this:
| Code: | | LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/lirc0" |
these are my modules:
| Code: | lirc_i2c
lirc_dev
cx8800
cx88xx
i2c_core
tuner
v4l1_compat
v4l2_common
i2c_algo_bit
btcx_risc
videodev
|
this shows dmesg when i modprobe i2c_core:
| Code: | lircd(hauppauge) ready
accepted new client on /dev/lircd
could not open /dev/lirc0
default_init(): No such device_
caught signal
|
when i execute irw i get this error:
| Code: | | connect: Connection refused |
i hope somebody can help me! |

I've seen this before with Lirc and Hauppauge PVR350. The error message leads me to believe /dev/lirc0 doesn't exist. I'll check this when I get home but see if /dev/lirc/0 exists. I seem to recall changing something directly in the /etc/init.d/lircd script  because it wasn't pointed to the correct device path and I didn't know where else to fix it.
I'll post back later when I get home. Hope that helps. |

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you hanging.
I got home and realized mine wasn't working either. Anyways, here's what works for me:
After I emerge lirc (using ~x86 version)
My /etc/conf.d/lircd
| Code: | # Options to pass to the lircd process
LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/lirc0"
|
Added the following to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6. I think lirc needs to be installed before ivtv,ivtv-fb.
| Code: | # /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6,v 1.1 2003/07/16 18:13:45 a
zarah Exp $
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.
# For example:
# 3c59x
lirc_i2c
lirc_dev
ivtv-fb
|
Performed a reboot to make sure everything modules loaded and lircd started automatically.
Then a
| Quote: | ls -l /dev/lirc*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 Jul 2 10:58 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jul 2 10:58 /dev/lircd
|
Then I tried irw and push a few keys.
| Quote: | #irw
0000000000001f95 00 DOWN grayHauppauge
0000000000001f95 01 DOWN grayHauppauge
0000000000001f95 00 DOWN grayHauppauge
0000000000001f95 01 DOWN grayHauppauge
00000000000017a5 00 OK grayHauppauge
0000000000001797 00 RIGHT grayHauppauge
0000000000001797 01 RIGHT grayHauppauge
|
Also, you want to check that LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=hauppauge" is in your /etc/make.conf.
My main problem was the lirc_i2c and lirc_dev weren't starting until I added them to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6.
Let me know if that helps. |

it did not work
still the same problems etc.
i also compiled lirc from source (from the lirc website) and used the ncurses interface to set up lirc and even that did not work!
maybe it is because i have a tv-card that uses the cx8800 module and lirc needs the bttv module or am i wrong in this? |

The cx8800 does seem to be the wildcard here. I found this link http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/faq.html while looking it up. Apparently, you need to load some other drivers with the bttv driver. The saa7134 driver seems to just work according to the link.
Does this link help? |

followed the instructions on the site, but still no luck!
i have kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r4, is this allready too old, has the new kernel better support for cx8800 and lirc?
on google i also saw that a lot of people have the ir_common module loaded, but lirc doesn't install this module in the kernel.
maybe it's time to buy a serial ir-receiver and hope that it will work
dave77034 thank you very much for your help and if you still find some tips or something, please post them! |

I have a little similar problem with 350.
I've done:

* Updating /etc/modprobe.conf ... [ ok ]
C1REX c1rex # modprobe ivtv
C1REX c1rex # ivtv-detect
driver: ivtv-0.4.0 (tagged release)
card: WinTV PVR 350, bus info 0000:00:0b.0, ivtv card #0

The guide I used is: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV
What have I done wrong?
