Thanks for that goofee.
I checked the /etc/lircrc and it's pointing at the right thing.
I clearly have no real idea about this linux thing.
So I'm no nearer solving this - boo.

Cheers tho.
Chris

Hi There,
Any news on that issue?? - it drives me mad...
can control mythtv via netbook, iphone etc but cant get stupid remote to work...
Cant even find /etc/lirc/hardware.conf as seen somewhere that changing :
load_modules to false should help...

its a great distro - and works best out of the box from other i've tryied but got few annoing issues.


regards

alex

Hi Alex,
My current issues relate to R6 (and R6 + .22) what version are you running?
At the moment life is a bit too hectic to try and resolve this issue.

Changing the hardware.conf works in Knoppmyth 5.5 and below. Things have changed under the hood significantly with R6.

Regards
Chris

Hi Chris,
same here, another fresh install of r6 (as on lastone couldnt delete recordings for some reason).
Tried most remotes types but still it thinks its a keyboard.
Only other thing not working out of the box is mythvodka, but read somewhere its common (40% error). Will give it a go later when have some spare time.

Thanks

alex

Hi guys, time to resurect this thread from it's dormant state. As it's the Christmas holidays I now have a few minutes.

I've done some reading around, most notably this web page here from the Arch wiki.

I'm under the impression that LINHES is misinterpretting the ir input / or just ignoring it generally.

Looking at cat /proc/bus/input/devices, the ir is seen:
Code:
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=0070 Product=9002 Version=0001
N: Name="cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T"
P: Phys=pci-0000:05:00.2/ir0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event1
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=100fc312 214a802 0 0 0 0 18000 41a8 4801 9e1680 0 0 10000ffc

I: Bus=0001 Vendor=0070 Product=9002 Version=0001
N: Name="cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T"
P: Phys=pci-0000:05:01.2/ir0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event2
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=100fc312 214a802 0 0 0 0 18000 41a8 4801 9e1680 0 0 10000ffc


And I would expect these inputs to be seen in /dev/input/by-id. However ls -l /dev/input/by-id, doesn't list the relevent ir input(s). Only three inputs appear (below).

Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-12-26 15:20 usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd -> ../event7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-12-26 15:20 usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse -> ../event8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-12-26 15:20 usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-mouse -> ../mouse1


cat /proc/inputs/devices identify the ir dongle as input1, dmesg sees it (below) as does by-path (below), however by-id shows that myth does not recognise the ir dongle at all. How do I poke my LINHES build to recognise the input?

dmesg

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2009-12-26 16:55 platform-pcspkr-event-spkr -> ../event5



Also: I've changed my /etc/sv/lircd/run to read:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/sbin/lircd -n -H devinput -d "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:05:00.2-event-" 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
However the by-path doesn't seem to help.

Can anyone give me any more advice? Or has someone got it working and got some instructions?

Many thanks.

Chris

Hi, wish I could add something substantial to this subject but no. I had to go back to R5.5 because the remote (Nova-T-500) would not work as expected in R6 for the 2 versions i have tried. A sollution for this will be highly appreciated. :D :D

Hi nenne_bl,
Thanks for your note. I think there is a number of people whom this is a problem for.

Hopefully someone else can shed some light or point me in the right direction to resolve this. Presently I'm stuck and the archwiki doesn't seem too helpful though I'm not so technically minded, so I may have missed something.

One thing I was considering was trying to modify the /etc/conf.d/lircd (which is mostly has empty parameters on my box) but as "by-id" is empty I'm not sure of what information is needed.

There is a reasonably high number of views (in the region of 1.6k) suggesting there are a lot of people with the same problem. I'll open a flyspray ticket for this.

Regards,
Chris

Hello tophee, nice to see someone bringin this up in the light again. Sorry that I have reverted to R5.5 else we could bang our heads together. My NovaT500 is in use every day so I really don't want to mess with it.
It's been a while since my struggle and it isn't much of a hint eather but my path was to make the NovaT500 not to be recognized as a keyboard device. From there make symbolic link's so the remote could work, but no.
Did not conclude in any way that made me happy.....

Are you running latest R6? Some firmware upgrade down the line made my card useless. How did you manage that?

Oh by the way english is not my native language, sorry if something sounds a bit odd....

Thanks nenne

Hurrah!!!

Some progress.

I asked for some help on another forum (here) and I was directed to look at the /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi

I cleared out the references to the divco card and I rebooted and lots of the remote's buttons work. Some buttons don't do quite what I expect, but most do, for example the "Stop" button (the one with the square) does what I was expecting the "Back/Exit" button to do.

My /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi now looks like this.

Code:
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains_ncase="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>


Here's the original file as reference:
Code:
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
     <!-- This rule prevents the Dvico dual digital4 rev 2
          remote input device from making your keyboard act wierd. -->
     <match key="info.product" contains_ncase="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver">
        <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
     </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>


What I don't know is, do I need to keep the first line? Things seem to work without.

All I need to do now, is get everything mapped the way I want it. Jump points etc.

You also need to add the udev rules to make sure that it has the same ID each time, as stated in the first post on that thread.

Do you have a udev rule for the remote? If so, I should be able to patch the lirc package to add the rule and fix lirc.fdi.

Hi Greg,

I didn't make any udev rule changes to my system. I just stripped out the Divco in the lirc.fdi file.

My knowledge of linux is pretty limited, however, if I can provide any further info let me know what I need to do.

Regards Chris
