[mythtv-users] HDPVR and lirc_zilog drive me crazy

[Hans Weber]

Hello Members ;-)

This is my first posting  and as my  first action  I would like to apalogize
for my bad english.
After a few hours of searching I have a almost running lirc system.

The remote part of the drivers lirc_zilog works fine.

I did a svn.checkout of v4l on sunday and patched the hdpvr driver
sucessfull.
I did a donwload for the  lirc_zilog driver from a redhat-site.

I can build on my custom kernel 2.6.33.6 sucessfull hdpvr / lirc_dev /
lirc_zilog

The remote is working properly (controlled by command irw)

If I do load lirc_dev prio to lirc_zilog I have a oops.

If I load lirc_zilog direct wihtout prior loading lirc_dev  it loads perfect
....

Adding 995988k swap on /dev/sda5.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:995988k
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
lirc_zilog: Zilog/Hauppauge IR driver initializing
lirc_zilog: chip found with RX and TX
lirc_dev: lirc_register_driver: sample_rate: 0

lirc_zilog: Zilog/Hauppauge IR blaster firmware version 2.1.0 loaded

I use a custom kernel 2.6.33.6 and on this link is the configuration file
http://pastebin.ch/5899

My devices comes here :

user at luxeria001:~$ ls -al /dev/lirc*
crw-rw---- 1 root root 61, 0 2010-08-03 19:37 /dev/lirc0

/var/run/lirc/lircd
user at luxeria001:~$


My configuration file comes here :

#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""

Every Time I try to send a simple command I get this ....

user at luxeria001:~$ irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE blaster 1_1_KEY_6
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE blaster 1_1_KEY_6
irsend: hardware does not support sending
user at luxeria001:~$

Has someone  a sugestion ? or a stupid hint ?

IMHO the HDPVR is a  great Hardware for Transcoding to h264 but the ir part
for linux looks a bit
like a nightmare to me.
With the best regards from switzerland
