I can also recommend the Streamzap USB remote/receiver; it was
trivially simple to implement with lirc & myth (I use Gentoo, and it
was just a matter of including a USE flag when emerging lirc).  I
found one at retail for $40 but got one from Amazon more recently for
$29.

I like the USB IR receivers from the Streamzap remote.  Work great with 
my universal remote.  You can order them without the remote if you email 
the sales department for a part number (unless they have them on their 
website separate now).

Re: [mythtv-users] USB IR Receiver

2005-03-09 Thread Tu Holmes
Well, I've held off on this, but I'll give my $.02
worth I guess.

If you have a USB receiver which you really love, then
the rest of this post is moot, so please feel free to
delete it.
For me though, it was very hard getting a USB receiver
to work and trying to use Jarod's Guide.

*Sidebar to give props where It needs to be given,
Jarod's guide probably saved me DAYS (if not weeks) of
messing around with other stuff, just to get anything
going at all... The guide is a God-send*

To the point though, what I would recommend is getting
all the way to that point, getting a streamzap remote
(thinkgeek.com) and doing the following:

First make sure you have the source modules... there's
a .src rpm from Axel's site...

Install the streamzap remote receiver.

Then do this:

rpm -e kernel-source (In case you found the complete
source somewhere else like I did, and apparently don't
need)

cd /usr/src
ln -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build linux-`uname -r`

Now you can compile some modules!

Follow the guide here:

http://www.grangenet.net/~greg/streamzap.html

>From the guide I would recommend downloading the tar
file and the patch and following the directions from
there... I didn't use the CVS. The CVS may have the
streamzap remote built in already, making the patch
unnecessary, but I know this worked, so I skipped CVS.

After you've ran the make install part (The End).

add these 2 lines to your /etc/modprobe.conf

# lirc_streamzapusb module
alias char-major-61 lirc_streamzapusb

Now, after I loaded it, it created a /dev/lirc0, but
no /dev/lirc, so I did the ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc

After that, starting up the software from 
/usr/local/sbin/lircd -n worked like a champ.

You can now start up /usr/local/bin/irw, and test the
remote that comes with the entire setup.

Just start lircd from the S99local script 

/usr/local/sbin/lircd -n &

I'm still working out my lircrc, but it's functional
for the most part (If you want a copy, email me off
list, I'll send it to you)

Oh, and credit for putting me on to this goes to Kevin
Kuphal... who is also on this list. Thanks much.

This is by far and away the easiest remote and
receiver to deal with (for me at least).

Of course, there's lots of people around who may
disagree I'm sure, but I didn't want to fight it too
hard, and this became an easy solution.

The Receiver cable is also very long, but the receiver
itself is pretty small.

If I had one "bad" thing to say about it, it would be
that the remote is kinda' light, but for me, it's a
non-issue.

There are no known packages that work with USB UIRT out of the box, you have

These are the lines from Jarod's Guide I am using to grab lirc:

# apt-get install lirc-kmdl-$KVER
# apt-get install lirc

So you are saying there is a specific lirc-kmdl... for USB?  I can
start the LIRC daemon without problems...but I really need to know how
to setup the USB receiver and where I should get these packages from. 
Thanks!

RE: [mythtv-users] USB IR Receiver

2005-03-08 Thread Vladimir Shved
You don't need any LIRC modules, lirc_serial is for com port IR devices, you
need kernel driver module(forgot its name) for USB UIRT and actual LIRC
daemon(lircd) needs to start on startup(need script in /etc/init.d and link
to it like from /etc/rc2.d etc.). Actual LIRC must have USB UIRT support,
you need to build LIRC from sources, I'm not sure if there are any binaries
exists that support USB UIRT. When building from sources, either you need
patch or get latest CVS sources. I did not try CVS but I've read somewhere
that USB UIRT made to CVS, so it has to be supported. Check USB UIRT support
forums, LIRC mail list for more info.

Re: [mythtv-users] USB IR Receiver

2005-03-08 Thread Jim Oltman
But what are the lines that I will need in my modprobe.conf?  This is
what I have so far in it (from Jarod's guide)

alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8
install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none ;\
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial

Instead of lirc_serial, will it be lirc_usb?  I have no idea.  Thanks!
