Using the strings that get displayed when using irw as a reference (they are defined by the /etc/lircd.conf file), make sure that your lircrc file has matching strings for each of the buttons and that each of the entries in the file are of the form: begin prog = mythtv button = Right repeat = 2 config = Right end begin prog = mythtv button = Down repeat = 2 config = Down end i.e. make sure that the 'prog' line says mythtv (otherwise it won't get the command), the 'button' line is what comes from /etc/lircd.conf (as displayed by irw) and the 'config' like is what mythtv expects (see http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1) The 'repeat' line (and others you may come across) are all documented in the lirc docs.

[mythtv-users] 2005 MCE REMOTE
Sorry if this has been beaten to death but I can’t seem to find the correct fix for my issue. I just put together a MythTV box: P4 2.8Ghz 1GB DDR RAM 160GB 7200 RPM Hard drive WinTV 500MCE MCE RC6 Remote w/IR Receiver Now, I have everything installed and working great… except the remote in MythTV. When I run /usr/bin/irw I get the output I can see the remote is working. An lsmod shows the the remote drivers are loaded. I have a .lircrc file in the user’s home dir and in the /users/homedir/.mythtv dir. I copied the lircrc file from examples online. Lircd is running as well. Am I missing something? Do I need to configure something in MythTV to get it to use the remote? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
