I use sony.pl to change channels on my system.

Mythbackend calls whatever is in the "channel change script" with the channel number as the argument. Therefore, if sony.pl works from the command line and you have the full path to the executable in myth setup, and you've restarted the back end since making the change, it should work. If not, I would run the frontend through a terminal (ssh in, set the display approprately, and run mythfrontend manually) so you can see any errors and such. If you add debugging print statements to sony.pl, you should see it here as well as any permissions problems.

probably something simple and I'm having a brain fart but...


I have it all working, except I cant seem to figure out how to pass remote control signals to the (working from the command line) sony.pl. scouring google, docs...I put the path to the sony.pl in the mythtvsetup as the external channel changer, but it seems to me that lirc will have to know something about it? or is mythtv misconfigured?


this is a serial connection to low speed data port on a sony sat b50 through a hauppauge 250, sony.pl working from the command line...as I said everything is working except this last trivial changing channel business.

thanks!
