Hi List,
I'm trying out MythTV on Gentoo, but can't get lirc to work with
mythfrontend. Lirc itself seems to work, at least that's what irw tells me.
000000037ff07be1 00 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07be1 01 KEY_UP mceusb
000000037ff07bde 00 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bde 01 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07bde 02 KEY_RIGHT mceusb
000000037ff07be0 00 KEY_DOWN mceusb
000000037ff07be0 01 KEY_DOWN mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 00 KEY_LEFT mceusb
000000037ff07bdf 01 KEY_LEFT mceusb
...
My lirc device is /dev/lirc0 according to
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev mceusb"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"
and that's what I set in the frontend under "lirc daemon socket". My
~/.lircrc looks like this
#Custom lircrc generated via mythbuntu-lirc-generator
#All application specific lircrc files are within ~/.lirc
include ~/.lirc/mythtv
#include ~/.lirc/mplayer
#include ~/.lirc/xine
#include ~/.lirc/vlc
#include ~/.lirc/xmame
#include ~/.lirc/xmess
#include ~/.lirc/totem
#include ~/.lirc/elisa
#include ~/.lirc/irexec
and ~/.lirc/mythtv like this
...
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_UP
config = Up
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_LEFT
config = Left
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_OK
config = Return
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_RIGHT
config = Right
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
begin
remote = mceusb
prog = mythtv
button = KEY_DOWN
config = Down
repeat = 0
delay = 0
end
...
I also tried "prog = mythfrontend" and removed "KEY_" from the button
line and restarted lircd and mythfrontend after each change. What could
I possibly do wrong? Everything works fine on the same PC under Ubuntu.
Thanks
Thomas
