I just tried running the script from the terminal,with the following result:
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/local/bin/change-channel.sh
irsend: not enough arguments
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$
This is the script:
REMOTE_NAME=DCT700
cmd="$1"
/usr/local/bin/check_stb 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null || :
sleep 2
case $cmd in
[0-9]*)
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
sleep 0.2
# If things work OK with sleep 1, try this for faster channel changes:
# sleep 0.3
done
irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME OK
sleep 1
irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME EXIT
;;
*)
irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $cmd
;;
esac
Why would this stop running co-incident to installing another tuner?
