Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer 3 lirc setup and tweaking
hi Zounder1 Adding a "&" to the end of a Linux command line puts it into the background. You could probably edit /usr/local/sbin/config.cfg directly, change IR_DEVICE="lirc0" to IR_DEVICE="lirc1", it might work. :confused: Remember to backup and reboot, $pcp bu & $pcp rb or $pcp br. I don't think you need the modprobe commands, lirc_rpi is loaded at boot, see /mnt/mmcblk0p1/config.txt, "dtoverlay=lirc-rpi,gpio_in_pin=25" ($m1; $c1; $vicfg) regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106292 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer 3 lirc setup and tweaking
Ok, time to document things:* To stop lircd* -sudo modprobe lircd sudo kill $(pidof lircd)- I want to use a MCE USB IR receiver as the RPi is buried behind some cabinet doors. I looked in the /dev/ directory and noticed LIRC0 AND LIRC1 listed. If I unplug the USB IR device, LIRC1 disappears. So I now know my device name. Lets test: -sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc1- When I press keys on any remote I see responses on the screen. Cool. Now lets test this with lircd: First terminal window: -sudo lircd -n -d /dev/lirc1- This opens lircd but does not send it to background. This is a great trick to see if lircd is crashing due to a configuration issue. If lircd has an issue, you will see the program kick out and give some troubleshooting text. Open a 2nd terminal windows to the RPi Run: -irw- I can now see key presses being read properly by lircd. Cool. Now the only uncool part? You can't set the device in the picoreplayer LIRC configuration page to use LIRC1. The only two acceptable inputs are LIRC0 and HIDRAW1. Dang. So close. I can't find a hardware.conf file related to lircd to force it to use lirc1. Anyone have an idea what file I need to edit to force lircd to use lirc1?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer 3 lirc setup and tweaking
Ok. Can someone confirm that I am on the right track here. To stop lirc: sudo modprobe lirc_rpi sudo kill $(pidof lircd) To see if my IR receiver is working: mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 This kicks back with: mode2: could not open /dev/lirc0 mode2: default_init(): Permission denied If run: sudo mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 It runs, but when I press keys on any remote I have I get no output. Which is wrong. I also have a USB IR receiver. sudo mode2 -d /dev/hidraw1 This kicks back with: mode2: could not get file information for /dev/hidraw1 mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory Arghhh. Are there any other device names I should use for a usb receiver?

[SlimDevices: Unix] picoreplayer 3 lirc setup and tweaking
So, I have been trying to setup the lirc in picoreplayer 3 with non responsive remote. So I want to drop to command line to start troubleshooting. I'm quite familiar with setting up lircd with MythTV from years back. My biggest challenge, is really basic. How do I stop lirc from running from the command line? I want to run: irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 test.conf But I can't do that if lircd is running. It is an embarrassing question to ask. But I can't figure out how to stop lirc? Thanks in advance!

Well thats your POV. I've been in audiophilla for decades and IMO its been just fine. Its grown and become more refined, the first sight of this was decades ago when the zip cord speaker wire was replaced by better, purer copper and silver. Granted some people still use zip cord and apparently some people can't even hear a difference when using coat hangers. As with all things, either you grow and evolve or you don't.
