If you have even one of the buttons working then you should be able to get them ALL to work. The pvrusb2 driver, the IR receiver, and the LIRC driver together really have nothing to do with the specific button presses - they just pass the raw 1's and 0's up to the LIRC daemon and it's that daemon which translates the raw bits into keypresses. Please study the LIRC documentation and follow what's given there. > > Is it possible the latest firmwares released from Hauppauge made the IR > remote work?

None of the firmware loaded by the pvrusb2 driver has anything at all to do with IR. It is possible that the IR chip might want firmware and I think that may actually be the case here but it's not the pvrusb2 driver which is dealing with it so I can't help you there. I thought I had read at one point that the LIRC driver might try to send firmware but even if it did, it certainly did not come from Hauppauge. If you want to make your success report really useful to others, then the most important metric you can supply is the exact version of LIRC you used, which LIRC driver you enabled and what if any module parameters you might have supplied to the driver. Everything else is bascially just a conduit and should have (almost) no bearing on the success or failure of the IR capability of the HVR-1950. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
