I have mine working now but I would like to add that I could not get this step to work:


I had to extract it on my Windoze machine with winrar and then transfer the folder to my Myth box so that worked

Also be sure you have the kernel source extracted or the install will not work



These were the only bumps I hit but overall a very nice guide.....

PS: who has a guide for installing ndswrapper for my wirless Dlink G510?? Pretty please

Just installed R5A16 and I'm having a few issues with my pvr-250 remote.

Followed this to the letter and has the following: -


Gunzip reported that this file was not in a .gz format had to do this on my
Dohz box and copy across (hope this saved ok!)

irv was not recognised did an updatedb and locate irv but this file
was not found.

Edit!!!
Doh it's irw
but nothing is being displayed in screen when the remotes buttons are pressed !!
end Edit!!!!!

rebooted but remote does not respond at all.
checked all connection.
even re-installed older version and the remote worked out of the box

Any suggestions???

TIA

Steve

double check that lircd is running



If its not then run it and press some buttons and see if its recognised, if not you then need to check that all the relevant modules are lsted - refer to page 1 for this.

Good luck!

Got this on working now
looking in /usr/src there is a remotes-lircrc.tar.bz2 file
in there there is a huge lst of remotes.
I just copied the lircd.conf and lircmd.con to the /etc folder.

the only thing is that there is still no output from irw???

Sorry to bother you about this, but I caught a snag. I'm trying this with the PVR-350 with version R5A12 and am getting the following error when I try to configure the version of LIRC... I'm getting an error that says I need to have the kernel source installed for this driver... any help would be greatly apprecieated, and if I get it working before hand, I'll edit this... Thanks!

If I recall correctly the kernel source is in /usr/src so all you will need to do is untar it and then create a link to it called linux.



Hope this helps

That worked, thank you ver much I would have probably spend hours search for the source for the 2.6.9-11-chw-...whatever... kernel... Thanks again!

hi!, when I execute the step :

4.) Run the setup script
Code:
# ./setup.sh
Select Driver Configuration (1)
Select TV Card (5)
Select Hauppauge TV Card (f)
Select Save Configuration & Run Configure

the configuration start and at the end, the system throw me this exception :

configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed
for this driver

Anyone know what do I have to do ?
do I have to run a command like : apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.xx ?
I use Knoppmyth R5A15.1
and I have a PVR-350

have you read this thread? the answer is a few posts up

hm, followed the guide above and worked... but not after reboot

this is how my system looks after a reboot:


then, trying irw:


after i deleted lirc.pid, the irw accepts the keys pressed by the remote but after a reboot, it's gone...

btw, i'm using a 350 remote. it looks like this one:

_________________
R5A26 / ASUS Pundit AB-P 2600 / Celeron 2.66 GHz / DVD-Rom Asus E616 / Hauppauge PVR350 / 512 MB, PC-2700 / HDD Samsung SpinPoint P120, 200GB, 7200RPM / WL-138G WLAN PCI-Card

if you are using a remote that looks like that one all you should have to do is run "update-rc.d lirc defaults" as root and enjoy.

no what that does is setup the symlinks so that lirc runs at boot time. you only have to run that command once. everything in lirc should already be setup to work with the remote pictured. Unless of course you screwed with something.

I just reinstalled R5A16, and I found this topic for configuring the silver remote. When I first installed Knoppmyth, back in December, I used another thread with lircd.conf and lircrc. I had forgotten about that thread, and found this one instead. I followed the directions on the first page but I still was not getting any output from irw. After much searching, I finally found my own post back in december about the changes I had to make, and re-found the first thread. After changing the lircd.conf to this one, I began to receive outputs from irw.



There seem to be some differences for some keys, all seem to be changes from 7 to F. The file as well as the thread say that this is for the gray remote, but if you look at all of the buttons, they match the newer silver remote (the one with the four color buttons at the bottom) exactly.

I have not changed the lircrc file yet, but I don't anticipate any more problems with the remote. Here is the link to the actual thread that I pulled the lircd.conf file. There is also a lircrc file.

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3092&highlight=lirc+pvr+250

So, for those of you that diligently followed the directions to this howto, and still don't have any output from irw, give this lircd.conf file a try.

I have successfully executed step 1 to 11 but in the step 12 nothing appear in my screen.

I have a PVR-350 and a grey remote (same as the first page).
My remote is plugged and the battery is ok

anyone can help me ?
