lirc issues after reinstall

Post by mathog »

Xubuntu 16.04.03 LTS, mythtv 0.29

Copied the lirc files used with 0.21 to this reinstalled system. Mostly they work. However, the 3 and 9 buttons on the remote control do not. They will sometimes function for one or two presses and then they stop. While they work they jump far too many channels. Running irw shows multiple events for each key press, typically 3 to 5. It shows events for key presses even after mythtv has stopped responding to these keys. However, it was certainly like that on the old system too, and there these keys worked. The ~/.lirc/mythtv file contains for these:

Code: Select all

begin
    remote = RM-VL600_8201
    prog = mythtv
    button = nine
    config = 9
    repeat = 0
    delay = 1
end

begin
    remote = RM-VL600_8201
    prog = mythtv
    button = three
    config = 3
    repeat = 0
    delay = 1
end
The directory

/sys/class/rc

is empty. There is a loaded module "rc_core" associated with the saa7134 module. However, there is no actual IR receiver associated with it. Perhaps some other kernel module is monitoring this IR device. (It is the receiver on the HDHomeRun.) Known problem? Solution???

Thanks.
