[mythtv-users] Somewhat OT: No remote when calling xine

I'm setting up xine to play a playlist in mythvideo, loosely following
the instructions here: 
http://blog.codedread.com/archives/2006/12/17/setting-up-mythvideo-for-playlists/

The only big problem I'm having is that the remote is not working when
xine is playing the videos. I'm starting xine with this command line:
xine -p -f -phq -P %s

My /home/[username]/.lircrc exists and has sections for mythtv, mplayer,
and xine. I tried running it in a window but I don't really see
anything. I'm using the hauppauge grey remote and my lircrc file is
based on Jarod's guide. 

I've install xine using yum. Anyone know if lirc is possibly not
enabled? Maybe xine can't find the libraries? Any way to verify that it
is enabled? I've tried 'xine --list-plugins' but I don't see lirc listed
anywhere, should it be?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
James
