Info

This page contains all of the files and information I needed to get my Antec Fusion Case (Black finish, uses the newer iMon LCD 15c2:0038) and it's included Veris RM200 remote working. There is also a section describing how to setup a Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Controller that works with this setup. Note that I used Mythbuntu 10.10, but any type of Ubuntu 10.10 should also work with this setup instructions.

LIRC

If you're doing a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10, there is no configuration to set what /dev/input/eventX device you want to utilize. So just follow the below directions to get you up and running.

Note on the Knob

The volume knob on the Antec Case should work right out of the box.

Directions to get Remote Working

Perform all of the following in order.

Step 1 - Uninstall LIRC and Reinstall it

Un-install LIRC so that any errors that were going on before won't come up. Open up a terminal, and type the following in:

Script.png sudo apt-get purge lirc


Then you want to reinstall LIRC so that we can have the configuration settings come up and we can configure lIRC. In the same terminal window, perform the following::

Script.png sudo apt-get install lirc


You'll get a configuration window within your terminal window. Here's what you are going to want to do.

First, select the Linux Dev Input:

Script.png Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX)


If you have an IR transmitter (I didn't), go ahead and select that on the next screen

Now, in a separate terminal window (Open a new one by clicking on "File," "Open Terminal"), perform the following command to find out which event your remote is on:

Script.png cat /proc/bus/input/devices


Here is the information I got from running that (note the "event4" which is what I selected then):

Script.png cat /proc/bus/input/devices 

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=15c2 Product=0038 Version=0002
N: Name="iMON Remote (15c2:0038)"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/rc/rc0/input4
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd mouse1 event4
B: EV=100007
B: KEY=fff 0 400000108c0320 2d5008200000000 30000 400119000 419614100801 809e168000000000 200000010004002
B: REL=103


Mine was "event4," so I selected that on the last screen. Select whatever event your is on (i.e. - The event under H: Handlers)

Now that we have finished the configuration for LIRC, type in "irw" (without the quotes) in the terminal, press the mouse/keyboard toggle button on your controller (mine was right below the stop button), and start pressing buttons on your remote.

If all goes well, you should be seeing key presses output. You're almost there.

Now, go to:


Script.png MythTV Frontend -> Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> General

Under the "Remote Control" screen, change the LIRC daemon socket to "/dev/lircd"

Step 2 - Button Configuration

After you have performed the above, you'll have to configure your buttons to work properly with MythTV. To do this, go ahead and edit this file: ~/.lirc/mythtv To edit, go to a terminal window and type "gedit ~/.lirc/mythtv" (without quotes), or if you use vim "vim ~/.lirc/mythtv"

Here is what my button configuration looks like, this should work for you as well:

end


Now make a new file (or edit the old one) ~/.lirc/irexec with the following contents. Make sure to replace 'user' with your username (not mythtv).

Script.png ~/.lirc/irexec 

# LIRCRC Auto Generated by Mythbuntu Lirc Generator
# Author(s): Mario Limonciello, Nick Fox, John Baab, edited by Chris Murphy
# Created for use with Mythbuntu

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_POWER
    config = /home/user/Scripts/runmyth.sh &
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_EJECTCD
    config = /home/user/Scripts/eject.sh &
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_EJECTCLOSECD
    config = /home/user/Scripts/eject.sh &
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

Step 3 - irexec Files

We need to setup two irexec scripts for use with irexec. These need to go in ~/Scripts and you need to chmod +x them. Note that if you have a strange setup and your main DVD drive is not /dev/sr0, you will need to change this accordingly.

Script.png ~/Scripts/eject.sh 

#!/bin/bash
eject -T /dev/sr0


Script.png ~/Scripts/runmyth.sh 

#!/bin/bash
if [ -z `ps -e -o pid,command | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep` ]
then
    mythfrontend &
    (for i in $( seq 1 100 )
    do
        echo $i;
        sleep 0.1;
    done) | zenity --auto-close --progress --text="Starting MythTV. This may take longer than this dialog shows." --title="Starting MythTV"
else
    zenity --question --text="Are you sure you wish to exit MythTV?" --title="Exit MythTV?"
    if [ $? == 0 ]
    then
        for x in $( ps -e -o pid,command | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep );
        do
            if [ `expr index "$x" "/"` == 1 ]
            then
                continue;
            else
                kill $x;
            fi
        done
    fi
fi


After you have completed all of the above, restart your computer (this is very important, otherwise your remote control buttons might not actually work).

Step 4 - Setup MythTV Special Keys

The last step is to make sure the coloured buttons on the remote work. To do this, go to Utilities/Setup -> Edit Keys and find the following keys under JumpPoints and set a new binding by pressing the corresponding button on the remote. Make sure you have already rebooted your computer to get the remote working right.

Live TV -> TV (Yellow)
MythGallery -> Pictures (Blue)
MythVideo -> Videos (Red)
Play DVD -> DVD (Purple)
Play music -> Music (Green)

Harmony One Universal Remote

Below there will be instructions on how to setup a Harmony One Universal Remote control to work like a Soundgraph iMON Antec Veris controller.
