IR blasting through HDPVR
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 8:43 pm
I'm trying to get channel change to work using my Hauppauge HDPVR. I've tried many things, but I get the following error (i am using a lirc.conf that I found on the internet that identifies "blaster" as the relevant device):
I can receive IR information just fine using the "mode2" command.
dmesg appears to report that it is seeing my blaster:
Following the lirc wiki, I uncovered that my lirc device is /dev/input/event13. I verified that I have write permissions for both that device and /dev/lirc1.
(I also have a bttv card on board that seems to occupy lirc0)
Here is the info from my lirc_options:
Why does lirc think that my hardware won't support sending? My missing piece versus the lirc wiki instructions is that I'm not clear on what driver I should be using, but I've searched and can't seem to find / confirm the right driver. Here is some potentially relevant stuff from my lsmod:
For anyone who is using the HDPVR to transmit IR, what driver are you using? Is there some central place I can go to find this info?
Thanks!
