I have the devinput config file in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.
After all that hassle I think this just boils down to a problem
with the remote configuration file I was using. I used irrecord to
start a partial config file and viola! irw produces output:
0000000000000001 00 BTN_SELECT recorded.conf
0000000000000001 00 BTN_SELECT recorded.conf
0000000000000002 00 BTN_RIGHT recorded.conf
0000000000000002 00 BTN_RIGHT recorded.conf
0000000000000002 00 BTN_RIGHT recorded.conf
0000000000000003 00 BTN_LEFT recorded.conf
Note that I did this after *undoing* the devinput configuration:
LIRC_DRIVER=""
LIRC_DEVICE=""
Now the configuration I have been using for *years* is a Scientific Atlanta 3250.
Now there *is* a configuration in the
database for this remote but it doesn't appear to work with LIRC
0.9.0. Seems like everything in the database has been generated
well before 0.8.6.
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/scientific_atlanta/3250
So the /dev/lirc0 interface is working. What was not working was
my remote configuration from 0.8.7.
This is a remote that I could use with a cheap programmable remote
*and* that had the A, B, C, D buttons I've come to depend on. I
copied the base config and it caused errors on loading requiring
the removal of the TV/VCR section.
So I either need to pick a new remote that is both programmable on
my physical remote and has A, B, C, D buttons or I need to
irrecord a new setup off of the generic RC-5 configuration.
Yup, it did boil down to my remote configuration file. My physical
remote was programmable as an MCE remote. I swapped in the mceusb
configuration file and everything is now just working.
irw:
000000037ff07bdf 00 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 01 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 02 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 00 KEY_OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 01 KEY_OK mceusb
000000037ff07bdd 02 KEY_OK mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bde 02 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
I spent some time editing ~/.mythtv/lircrc for Myth and ~/.lircrc
for mplayer putting in all the new namespace strings and everything
is just working. Yay!
A user on the mythtv-users list stated the older configuration files
are compatible. Clearly this is not the case. I even tried directly
using the Scientific Atlanta file without changes. It generated an
error on the first section of the file. And obviously the rest of it
just wasn't working.
I think sticking to the files in the lirc-remotes-0.9.0 package will
be safer. And anything in the online database will require lots of
testing.
Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions.
