Morning all,

I have a problem with my DVR-250 remote. I installed mythTv - all eventually worked swimmingly. I made the mistake, however, of trying to apt-get install lirc which somehow clobbered the connection between the remote and the mythtv. By this I mean that when I type 'irw', the values for the remote show up and apparently have the correct values, but nothing reacts on the mythtv frontend side.

I don't really understand why this is and my attempts to run 'irxevents &' have given me a 'can't find x server error'

Any thoughts?
Donald

If you have mythtv-arch-lirc, you don't need to use irxevent. I don't think the version of lirc that that you got has support for the Hauppauge 2/350. You'll need to remove it.

or at least, I did apt-get remove lirc. Should I reinstall mythtv-arch-lirc via apt-get or download it or ...?

Can I re-enable the mythtv response to the remote, as the remote seems to be hitting the computer, or is it better to remove the whole lirc and try to reinstall?

proper installation of the 0.13 debs fixed the problems ... thanks for your help, though, cesman

I did the same thing here, I ran apt-get install lirc after the remote wasn't working properly. It looks like it's an easy fix but since I'm still very new at this I don't know how I can go about properly reinstalling 0.13 debs. Any help please?

There is an article in the Wiki about recompiling lirc.

You can probally skip many of the steps in that.

I thought the 0.13 was referring to Lirc but I think it was referring to the MythTV version. I found this thread with 0.16 debs http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2485 and then installed mythtv-i686-lirc after shutting down the backend. This should reset lirc back to it's original state but my remote still doesn't work. I'm running two PVR-250's and using one of the Hauppage remotes, everything I see points to this remote working out of the box. Also, irw doesn't display anything.
