[mythtv-users] Progress with Lirc, but no cigar yet

[Raymond Norton]

I am still hammering away, determined to get my MCE VRC-1100 remote working on Mint Debian and Myth .24. I Have followed this tutorial to a T: 

( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VRC-1100_Ortek_Technology_MCE_Clone_Remote ) and finally have generated key codes when running irw /dev/lircd: 

(00000000800100a4 00 KEY_PLAYPAUSE devinput 
0000000080010067 00 KEY_UP devinput 
000000008001001c 00 KEY_ENTER devinput 
000000008001006a 00 KEY_RIGHT devinput 
0000000080010069 00 KEY_LEFT devinput). 

I have a ~/.mythtv/.lircrc file that contains the following: "include ~/.lirc/mythtv" and a ~./lirc/mythtv file with all keys defined: 

(begin 
remote = devinput 
prog = mythtv 
button = KEY_KP0 
config = 0 
repeat = 0 
delay = 0 
end 
ect....) 

However, myth does not respond to the remote at all. I tailed syslog to see what was up; here is what I get. 



Restart Lirc: 

Mar 9 11:02:56 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /dev/lircd 
Mar 9 11:02:56 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4521]: accepted new client from 127.0.0.1 
Mar 9 11:02:56 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4521]: initializing 'phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input0' 
Mar 9 11:02:56 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: connected to localhost 
Mar 9 11:02:56 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4521]: accepted new client from 127.0.0.1 
Mar 9 11:02:56 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: connected to localhost 

irw /dev/lircd 

Mar 9 11:03:10 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd 
Mar 9 11:03:10 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: initializing 'phys=usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input1' 
Mar 9 11:03:10 xps kernel: [ 7900.196608] input: HID 05a4:9881 (lircd bypass) as /devices/virtual/input/input42 

Press directional key: 

Mar 9 11:03:17 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: you are using an obsolete devinput config file: No such file or directory 
Mar 9 11:03:17 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4528]: get the new version at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput: No such file or directory 


Replaced .devinput file with one from Sourceforge (didn't help). Restarted lirc. 


Launch Mythtv: 

Mar 9 11:15:05 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4666]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd 
Mar 9 11:15:05 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4666]: initializing '/dev/input/event2' 
Mar 9 11:15:05 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4666]: removed client 
Mar 9 11:15:05 xps lircd-0.9.0-pre1[4666]: closing '/dev/input/event2' 
Mar 9 11:15:05 xps kernel: [ 8614.692462] input: HID 05a4:9881 (lircd bypass) as /devices/virtual/input/input45 


What am I missing here?
