Remote works with irw but not MythTV

Post by tvuk »

Hi, I could really do with some help.
My remote works with irw but not MythTV and although I've been trying things, I haven't been able to get it to work.

With irw it produces output like this:

Code: Select all

000000008001006c 00 KEY_DOWN devinput
My /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file contains entries like this:

Code: Select all

		KEY_DOWN		108
My ~/.mythtv/lircrc which ultimately points to ~/.lirc/mythtv contains entries like this:

Code: Select all

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = mythtv
    button = KEY_DOWN
    config = Down
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end
I've been reading along with this post (viewtopic.php?f=36&t=680&p=3194&hilit=lirc#p3171) which describes the importance of these files agreeing on the button names, but I think everything seems to match for me. Even so, MythTV doesn't respond when i press the down key.
Please help?

Take the remote = devinput out. You also don't need repeat or delay if not needed. I don't even recall the delay - function. It's in none of my lircrc files that I recall. All you really need is this per button.
begin
prog = mythtv
button = <button name>
config = <keypress to send>
end
You do have the mythtv setup for proper useage I assume. Setup>General page 6 LIRC demon socket and proper port. Default has always worked for me.

What version of MythTV are you running? There are currently some bugs in master that prohibit lirc from working at all.

Removing the devinput seemed to make and delay worked for me, thanks
