I’m making some progress at long last on getting lirc to work as a receiver through my PVR-350 and a transmitter on a homebrew serial transmitter to my Foxtel cable box (STU-120). My channel change script (and the setup itself) is from lircsetup.com. Box is FC3 from Jarod’s guide, front and backend combined. Everything seems to work pretty cool from the command line. I can call the chan_change.sh script and my cable box changes channel. This would tell me that the hardware works fine and that lirc seems to like it’s configuration.

 

Problem is that when I run the same script from within MythTV nothing happens.

 

In following the troubleshooting pages on lircsetup.com I tried the test_script.sh idea. This works fine from within MythTV. i.e. I get the output log produced.

 

Next test I tried was to put the line which writes the test log entry into the change_chan.sh script itself.

 

Weird thing with this is that although the channel is not changed the log entry line is created.

 

I know that the script is being run (otherwise the log line would not be written). Why isn’t the irsend part of the script working when called by MythTV?

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Regards

Marty
