I'm also running MythTV on ContOS6. I hope this helps. On Wed, 03 Jun 2015 14:15:55 -0700 Kirk Bocek <t...@kbocek.com> wrote:

I think you want to use the devinput driver for lirc. http://lirc.org/html/devinput.html You can check for the receiver in /proc/bus/input/devices. I set LIRC_DRIVER="devinput" and LIRC_DEVICE in /etc/sysconfig/lirc an copies the generic devinput config to lird.conf. > rc0: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815) > as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/rc/rc0 mceusb > 5-1:1.0: Registered Philips eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb5:2 > usbcore: registered new interface driver mceusb IR JVC protocol > handler initialized IR Sony protocol handler initialized lirc_dev: IR > Remote Control driver registered, major 247 rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver > ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0 IR LIRC bridge handler > initialized alloc irq_desc for 32 on node -1 > alloc kstat_irqs on node -1 > > When I run irw I see in /var/log/messages a bunch of: > Jun 3 07:02:48 marble lircd-0.9.0[1501]: failed on bit 13 > Jun 3 07:02:48 marble lircd-0.9.0[1501]: failed on bit 9 > > So *something* is getting through. > > What I'd like to know is how you did your install.

Previously, I had a different USB remote which pretended to be a keyboard and I couldn't quite get lirc to work with it. It can be hit-or-miss as to weather the cheap Windows remotes work with Linux.
