I don't know if the problem is freevo that only watch at the first lirc 
device, or pylirc that only uses one device (the streamzap device).




I don't think that this is the problem. freevo nor pylirc care about 
devices, lirc uses a daemon and clients connect to the daemon not 
devices. You do need multiple daemons running. see: the section Using 
multiple different devices simultaneously on 
http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html

Thanks for the hint!
I just wanted to be sure that the problem was not freevo or pylirc related.
Aftert that i've configured the two daemons to work in connect-listen 
mode through an http socket
(this way the events from the second device is redirected to the first 
device /dev/lirc), solving all my problems.

Now the knob can control the volume!

Thanks again!

 Hi all,
 
 i'm using freevo on gentoo from portage 1.7.6.
 Everything works, but i was trying to use two different lirc device.
 
 One is a Streamzap USB, recognized as /dev/lirc0 and perfectly working
 The other device is the volume knob of the Antec Fusion case, recognized 
 ad /dev/lirc1, working correctly (tested with irw, the knoib sends 
 thetrwo events WheelCC and WheelCW.
 I've mapped these remotes in /etc/lircd.conf as follows:
 
 
 begin remote
 
   name  Streamzap_PC_Remote
   bits6
   flags RC5|CONST_LENGTH
   eps30
   aeps  100
 
   one   889  889

   end codes
 
 end remote
 
 begin remote
   name  ClickWheel
   bits   24
   eps30
   aeps  100
 
   one 0 0
   zero0 0
   post_data_bits  8
   post_data  0xFF
   gap  131993
   toggle_bit  0
  begin codes
WheelCC  0x01
WheelCW  0x000100
WheelClick   0x08
  end codes
 end remote
 
 
 
 and added to freevo lirc configuration file (for me is 
 /etc/freevo/streamzap) two events as follows:
 
 begin
prog = freevo
button = WheelCW
repeat = 1
config = VOL_UP
  end
 
 begin
prog = freevo
button = WheelCC
repeat = 1
   config = VOL_DOWN
 end
 
 Now the problem:
 
 when i turn the knob, i can see trough a terminal that irw receives 
 events from /dev/lircd1 (correctly), but seems like freevo (or pylirc)  
 only watches events coming from /dev/lircd (streamzap socket) and not 
 from /dev/lircd1 (imon knob socket).
 
 I don't know if the problem is freevo that only watch at the first lirc 
 device, or pylirc that only uses one device (the streamzap device).


I don't think that this is the problem. freevo nor pylirc care about 
devices, lirc uses a daemon and clients connect to the daemon not
