Re: [mythtv-users] IR receiver that only does RC-5

2005-07-25 Thread Joe Votour
I was having problems with my irman and my wireless
keyboard a long time ago, but now that I think a bit
more about it, I think that was before I was using
RC-5 for the remote.  At that time, I was
experimenting with different devices, and I think I
settled on the TiVo codes in my remote (a URC-6131,
which has them).

Whenever I did something on the remote (maybe it was
entering a digit, I don't remember), it seemed that
the keyboard would interpret that as a mute command
(the "|" key), and MythTV would mute.

Anyway, out of desperation, I setup the irman again
over the weekend, and it seems to be working fine with
my remote using RC-5 (so, a new lircd.conf file, but
.lircrc is still the same).

Here's to keeping my fingers crossed...

Re: [mythtv-users] IR receiver that only does RC-5

2005-07-25 Thread Dan Wilga

Does anybody know of any IR receivers (serial or USB)
that only accept something similar to the Hauppauge IR
receiver?  I just don't want my IR keyboard to
interfere with the receiver and cause phantom remote
control button presses.


The differences between IR signals, and the complexity of an 
individual keypress, are so huge that there's very little chance of 
there being a conflict between devices. If there was, you'd already 
be noticing problems.


I suppose there's a slight advantage in processor usage to using a 
receiver that's bound to only one protocol (like Hauppauge uses), but 
from a standpoint of conflicts, there's no reason to limit yourself.
