I am trying to get a tivo remote to work with MythTV and knoppmyth (version R5F27), and am having one hell of a time getting it to work. Here is the hardware I'm using
Remote: Tivo Peanut Remote
IR Reciever: Ira-3 (
http://www.home-electro.com/ira3.php)
Steps I have taken so far to
1. Installed the libirman-dev libraries
Code:
apt-get install libirman-dev
2. Uninstall the lirc version that came with knoppmyth, and prepare to install lirc
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get remove lirc
m-a update
m-a prepare
create the linux -> linux headers symbolic link
2. Downloaded and the latest version of lirc (lirc-0.8.2.tar.bz2)
Code:
wget http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lirc/lirc-0.8.2.tar.bz2
3. Extracted, compiled with the irman flag, and installed lirc-0.8.2
(
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=LIRCHowTo)
Code:
tar jxvf lirc-0.8.2.tar.bz2
cd lirc-0.8.2
./setup.sh
I chose the default options for serial port and drivers.
added -prefix=/usr & --with-driver=irman
to the configure.sh script
Code:
sh configure.sh
make
make install
4. Copied lirc.conf and lircrc files from (
http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv- ... 35133.html)
5. Restart the machine
and I get nothing. No repsonse from the remote. My problem is that I have no idea where in the process it is going wrong. How can I test each component to isolate the error?, or any ideas on steops I have missed that may cause the problem.
It could be the receiver, or the remote.
thanks.
