[mythtv-users] lirc help

[Jake Sallee]

Hello All-

I got mythtv up and running fine, although I am having quite a few issues with 
lirc.

I'm using a newer Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 card (cx23416 based) with the A415 
remote.

I copied the config file from:
/usr/share/lirc/remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge
and edited appropriately for the A415 remote and placed it in /etc/lircd.conf.

I've noticed that when i try and test with 'gmplayer /dev/video0' mplayer 
wants the config file to be /etc/lircrc.  renaming lircd.conf to lircrc loads 
the file but gives me errors:

Setting up LIRC support...

mplayer: bad file format, /etc/lircrc:30
Failed to read LIRC config file ~/.lircrc.
You will not be able to use your remote control.


Whenever I load mythtv, the remote doesn't work.  dmesg is giving me these 
errors when i press keys:

Here's a copy of my lircd.conf file:

end remote



My software specs are:
opensuse 10.1
lirc and lirc-kmp-smp 0.8.0
mplayer 1.0pre8
mythtv 0.20
kernel-smp 2.6.16.13
ivtv and ivtv-kmp-smp 0.7


Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you.
