[mythtv-users] Re: Lirc and Mythtv (Hauppauge Gray Remote)

[Harry Orenstein]

Sorry about breaking the thread.  Just finished an upgrade on my work PC.


I didn't really pour through your config files.  I have attached my own so
that you can see if they match yours.  Best thing is to take it one step
at a time and load the modules, check the logs, check for the device, load
the daemon, check the logs, fire up irw and see where you stand.  I just
realized that I didn't provide the lircd.conf file, but you should be able 
to
get one from the Myth contrib directory.  Let me know if you still have
problems after some more troubleshooting (and post any logs/errors/
messages if you do).

HTH!
