Re: [linux-dvb] DViCO Dual Digital 4 and remote
Hi all, I occasionally have the problem with the remote that the device nodes disappear. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an easy fix? Cheers, Bonne ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Does anyone know how to get all keys to work (an example is the DVD key) Hi Bonne, Can you add on your machine, in cxusb.c, a: if (ircode[1] != 0) printk(I: %02x %02x %02x %02x\n, ircode[0], ircode[1], ircode[2], ircode[3]); to cxusb_bluebird2_rc_query, just after the cxusb_i2c_xfer(d-i2c_adap, msg, 1); line, and then tail your kern.log? You should get a unique entry written to the log for each key on the remote and the middle two hex digits should correspond to entries in the key map that is in the .c file just after that. Did that, worked very well for debugging... I found that I had to restart the computer (completely power down) a few times while playing with lirc to get the remote to spit anything out. Let us know the codes that are emitted for the keys that don't work and I will compare them to my friend's remote. Turns out that after following various tutorials on lirc and using some preconfigured config files that people have put together everything works perfectly! Thanks for all the help... This is certainly a very helpful mailing list, hopefully I can give something back soon :) Regards, Chris ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Has there been any progress on this? I have tried both patches as described in the email threads with the same (negative) results. Additionally, when I used the patched module, my keyboard started acting up somewhat (as if the keys got 'stuck') - this behaviour disappeared when I un-patched the module.

I believe that this 0x6b is the same ir chip found in the FusionHDTV RT models. I'll prepare a patch and send it in a few hours.

I deduce from one of the links I should be seeing a line like the following when the DualDigital4 is initialised: input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input2 which is not there for me. I'll investigate further. Guys, It's not going to work. The Dual Digital 4 uses a new API for the remote control -- completely different from that of the earlier bluebird-based devices. I think I've figured it out, though. In the original bluebird, we send 0x47, and read back 4 bytes, interpret those as remote control key codes... In the bluebird2 (Dual Digital4, DVB-T Nano, ATSC Nano), it appears as if we just need to read those same 4 bytes from i2c addr 0x6b. I believe that this 0x6b is the same ir chip found in the FusionHDTV RT models. I'll prepare a patch and send it in a few hours. (first I must drive to work ;-) ) Which remote control comes with the DD4 ?? There are four DViCO remotes that I am aware of: 1) MCE Remote 2) Black remote (older one) 3) tiny grey remote 4) new grey remote ^^^ I know, my descriptions above leave much to be desired. If you could find a photo of it, that would help. Worst case scenario, I can send you a patch to enable the IR, and you may have to program the remote keymap (We already have keymaps ready for 1, 2, and 3 -- only 4 needs programming, but I have that one here, and plan to take care of it over the weekend) Anyway, do not lose hope, but don't waste your time trying right now. I'll get back to you shortly. Please test the patch at the following location: http://linuxtv.org/~mkrufky/pending/xc/bluebird2-ir.patch This patch assumes that you have the MCE remote -- You can change it to the tiny grey remote by changing one line in the patch. If you have one of the other remotes, then you'll have to use lirc. This patch should already be the bare minimum required to get this going via lirc. Please provide feedback after testing.

Craig Yeppo, the dev/input stuff is what you want, probably also worth writing some udev rules, or using the by-id links in /dev/input to ensure you don't get ordering problems with the eventX dev numbering if you have a keyboard or other input device attached. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
[linux-dvb] DViCO Dual Digital 4 and remote
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the remote that comes with the dual digital 4 to work? I tried following Chris Pascoes instructions, but there appears to be no evidence of the remote as a USB device (ie no /dev/hiddevX entry). The remote receiver doesn't plug into a USB port, but into the back of the card. Thanks, Petey.
