[mythtv-users] Hauppauge 250 IR Remote Functional Everywhere but Mythtv

[Dave]

I've got an almost identical setup here (except Myth 18.1) and I'm
having the exact same problem.  irw works just fine, but Myth won't
respond.

A few things I've noticed
1. lircd log shows no connection made when myth starts.   When I start
irw, I see:
lircd 0.7.0[7458]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd

2. I've recompiled myth a few times to ensure lirc support is enabled:
# Input Support
Joystick menu    yes
lirc support     yes
ivtv support     yes

3. I'm pretty sure I have the lircrc file setup correctly, here's an example:
more /root/.mythtv/lircrc
begin
    prog = mythtv
    button = UP
# This is the "up" on the central diamond 
    repeat = 3
    config = Up
end

irw shows this when I press the up botton:
0000000000001794 00 UP grayHauppauge

So I assume IRW's UP maps to button=UP, which is the same way my
working box is configured

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated
Dave
