 Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 3:03 pm Post subject: PVR-250 ir remote not working [solved] |
 |
|
I had my Hauppauge PVR-250 remote working in mythtv with kernel version 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 but now it doesn't.
I get the lirc_dev and lirc_i2c modules loaded and /dev/lirc/0 exists as a char device major 61, minor 0.
I start lircd with -d /dev/lirc/0 (i've also done the LIRCD_OPTS="-d /dev/lirc/0" in /etc/conf.d/lircd) and everything looks fine... (this is lirc version 0.8.0, btw).
The problem is irw doesn't give me any output. I even started lircd manually with -n -d /dev/lirc/0 and when irw starts it accepts the client.
Doing a cat of /dev/lirc/0 and pressing buttons give output.
I've searched the forums and nothing i've found seems to apply to this problem, much less work to solve it.
I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

With lircd NOT RUNNING I used | Code: | | irrecord -d /dev/lirc/0 temp1 |
to create a new config file to replace /etc/lircd.conf (the temp1 is so that I could verify the codes.) Not all of the codes were correct, so, with lircd NOT RUNNING i did a | Code: | | cat /dev/lirc/0 | hexdump |
to see the codes for each button and manuall edit the config file to reflect the correct codes. Then after restarting lircd, irw gave the output corresponding to my /etc/lircd.conf file. I then just had to make sure that my .mthtv/lircrc file was using the correct names for the codes. (Clear as mud?)
I have the Silver and Black remote. Here is my /etc/lircd.conf file: | Code: |
