[mythtv-users] irsend stopped working...

[mythtv_list at mfaconsulting.com]

XYZ was because I didn't feel like writing out Multichoice_D910, the point
is that /etc/lircd.conf is in the correct place and it contains a remote
definition for Multichoice_D910....regardless of its name

irsend LIST "" "" 

should output ALL remotes.....which it isn't.....remember this was all
working a week ago....so why can't it see any remotes now?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

D.

XYZ is a somewhat unlikely (but still possible) name for a remote
definition. You need to make sure the irsend script is referencing an
existing remote definition in /etc/lircd.conf that controls your external
box.

Run

$ grep "name" /etc/lircd.conf

This should give the names of the remote definitions LIRC is aware of.
You then need to update your irsend script to point to the correct remote
definition's name for your external box.

(Note that it is possible to have more than one remote definition in your
LIRC config - each remote config must be within its own 'begin remote/end
remote' block)
