The button mappings in the lircrc file don't correspond to what the buttons have been named in the lircd.conf file. Here's the contents of what I posted in another email: You can find the full contents of the email here: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/112865?search_string=lircd.conf;#112865 ***********Email paste**************************** I'm just taking a stab here, but it would seem that while you are using the proper lircd.conf file, your are using the lircrc file for the "old" grey/black remote. You should be able to tell fairly easily, and it shouldn't be hard to fix. The "codes" section of your lircd.conf file should look as follows: ------------BEGIN lircd.conf PASTE-------------- begin codes Power 0x00000000000017BD Go 0x0000000000001FBB TV 0x000000000000179C Videos 0x0000000000001F98 Music 0x0000000000001799 Pictures 0x0000000000001F9A Guide 0x000000000000179B Radio 0x0000000000001F8C UP 0x0000000000001794 LEFT 0x0000000000001F96 RIGHT 0x0000000000001797 DOWN 0x0000000000001F95 OK 0x00000000000017A5 Back-Exit 0x0000000000001F9F Menu 0x000000000000178D Prev-Channel 0x0000000000001F92 Mute 0x000000000000178F Volume-UP 0x0000000000001F90 Volume-DOWN 0x0000000000001791 Channel-UP 0x0000000000001FA0 Channel-DOWN 0x00000000000017A1 Record 0x0000000000001FB7 Stop 0x00000000000017B6 Rewind 0x0000000000001FB2 Forward 0x00000000000017B4 Play 0x0000000000001FB5 Previous 0x00000000000017A4 Next 0x0000000000001F9E Pause 0x00000000000017B0 1 0x0000000000001F81 2 0x0000000000001782 3 0x0000000000001F83 4 0x0000000000001784 5 0x0000000000001F85 6 0x0000000000001786 7 0x0000000000001F87 8 0x0000000000001788 9 0x0000000000001F89 0 0x0000000000001780 star 0x0000000000001F8A hash 0x000000000000178E red 0x0000000000001F8B green 0x00000000000017AE yellow 0x0000000000001FB8 blue 0x00000000000017A9 end codes ----------------END PASTE-------------------- Does your lircrc file look like this? Here's a snippet from the top of the one I saw on Jarod's site: ---------------BEGIN lircrc PASTE-------------------- # Channel Up begin prog = mythtv button = CH+ repeat = 3 config = Up end # Channel Down begin prog = mythtv button = CH- repeat = 3 config = Down end # OK/Select begin prog = mythtv button = OK config = Space end # Play begin prog = mythtv button = PLAY config = Return end --------------END PASTE-------------------- Look at the "button = " part for each entry in the lircrc file. One says "button = CH+". Another "button = CH-" and so on. These entries for button need to correspond to something in your lircd.conf file. With they lircd.conf for that old grey/black remote, the lircd.conf called the channel up button on the remote "CH+". However, the lircd.conf file for the new remote calls it "Channel-UP". The old lircd.conf called channel down "CH-", while the new one calls it "Channel-DOWN". If you change the "button =" entries in your lircrc file, changing "CH+" to "Channel-UP", changing "CH-" to "Channel-DOWN" and so on, reboot the box, and test mythtv, this should fix the problem. Make sure you change any copy of lircrc that you're using. You can look at the file differences for some comparisons of the lircrc file to the old and the new remotes. lircrc file on Jarod's site (for old black/grey remote) http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircrc-haupgrey.txt lircd.conf file for old grey/black remote: http://lircsetup.com/lirc/blaster/files/haupgreyold.conf.txt lircd.conf for new grey/black remote: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircd-g3.conf.txt Please reply with whether or not this was the issue.
