[mythtv-users] Free USB RF remote (just $5.90 for shipping)

[Brian Rumple]

This is all related to the remote master code.  I can honestly say that
I didn't test code 16 and that is causing the problem.  This is out of
range for this script.  Easy solution is to change the master code to 1.
Alternate solution is to change line 148 of MouseRemoteFC.pl from: $code
< 16 to $code <= 16, but I cannot guarantee this will not bring up
another issue.

I didn't get a chance to polish everything up, but it should be
functional.

OK.  More information about the problem.   Running the perl script in
debug
mode I get something like this when I press a button:

>> 4 Length
>> 09 Device:
>> 08 Device:
>> 7F Device:
>> 10 Device:
byte = 9 code = 16
undefined key:09 for
Eating key 09
Eating key 09
Eating key 09
Eating key 09



It looks as if what should be displayed for "device" is blank.  Anybody
else running into this? The only thing I did different from the original
instructions is I skipped the mknod line to create the remote device.
I'm running Gentoo with devfs, and the devices are created automatically
when I load the module.
