Eric, As you're running FC3, you may need an appropriate udev rule to make sure the LIRC devices are recreated at each boot. There are a couple of examples in the list archive http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ (their search seems down at the moment). One other LIRC-related issue is whether myth is trying to use the correct device (one time I had to symlink lirc to lirc0 I think). These are the devices on my FC2 (non-udev) machine for your info: crwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61, 0 May 20 20:16 /dev/lirc srwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv mythtv 0 Jun 22 21:14 /dev/lircd Nick _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
