[mythtv-users] Hauppauge 250 IR Remote Functional Everywhere but Mythtv
Gentoo, KDE 3.4, Hauppauge 250, Myth .18, Grey remote with black back. lirc compiled, modprobes lirc_i2c on boot and from the following dmesg excerpt it looks like ivtv found what it needs: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR) ivtv: i2c attach [client=Hauppauge IR,ok] lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10 The irw command can see signals from the remote. /home/mythuser/.mythtv/lircrc appears correct. KIRC sees a grey hauppauge remote. In KIRC any button pressed on the remote is correctly identified. I just can't get that piped to the application Mythtv. What did I miss? --calvin ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I've got an almost identical setup here (except Myth 18.1) and I'm having the exact same problem. irw works just fine, but Myth won't respond. A few things I've noticed 1. lircd log shows no connection made when myth starts. When I start irw, I see: lircd 0.7.0[7458]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd 2. I've recompiled myth a few times to ensure lirc support is enabled: # Input Support Joystick menuyes lirc support yes ivtv support yes 3. I'm pretty sure I have the lircrc file setup correctly, here's an example: more /root/.mythtv/lircrc begin prog = mythtv button = UP # This is the up on the central diamond repeat = 3 config = Up end irw shows this when I press the up botton: 1794 00 UP grayHauppauge So I assume IRW's UP maps to button=UP, which is the same way my working box is configured Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated Dave ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

What did I miss? to make sure they'r consistent (I think the standard location for lircrc is ~/.lircrc) ln -s /home/mythuser/.mythtv/lircrc /home/mythuser/.lircrc Then read man ircat and, logged in as mythuser, try: ircat mythtv Pressing buttons on the remote should tell you if your .lircrc is correct. Issues include: is myth compiled for lirc; are the permissions on /dev/lirc* correct. David ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The irw program doesn't interact with your .lircrc file at all. It just displays the name of the button as defined in /etc/lircd.conf. Are you running mythfrontend as root? If not, then that's likely why things aren't working. I notice that you're looking at the file in /root/.mythtv, but if you're running mythtv as user mythtv, which most people do, then it won't work. -- Joe --- Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got an almost identical setup here (except Myth 18.1) and I'm having the exact same problem. irw works just fine, but Myth won't respond.

For the buttons that don't work, I must having something messed up in my .mythtv/lircrc file I had an issue months back where LIRC would create /dev/lirc but MythTV was for some reason looking for /dev/lirc0 (or the other way around). I created a symlink and this cured the problem (if using udev you might want to adjust the rule to create both devices). You might also check the permissions on the devices to make sure the mythfrontend user can access them.
