Snapstream Firefly - R5E50... tried following the guidelines on mythtv.org (wiki)... for fedora... but no luck.

It's not responding to any buttons... tried irw - nothing happens ?

How can I troubleshoot ?

I've been a long time user of the Firefly remote since they came out. About a week after I installed R5E50, mine seemed to stop working as well. The light comes on the remote, not in irrecord and irw, I get nothing. Tried on my backend as well.

I broke down and bout a Streamzap remote, so I'm not much help here. I'd be quiet interested if you are able to get it working again.

:cry: I just bougth one - I thoght I could follow the fedora guidelines... well I guess it is not that easy....

Is StreamZap easy to setup with KnoppMyth ? and does it work OK - beeing a infrared remote ?

Still running and prefer KnoppMyth, but just installed MythDora on one of the clients. This worked perfect with the Firefly remote (out of the box) - excellent, MythDora, is a bit more resource demanding than KnoppMyth.

Anyway, at least that was a solution to the Firefly remote problem - instead of thowing it away :-)

The StreamZap should be automatically detected. It would be nice if you could post the actually link since you are asking for assistance.

? original link ?
Currently I use MythDora on one client with the SnapStream Firefly remote. On the other clients (3) I use the ATI Remote Wonder - no problems - with knoppmyth.

ATI Remote, works out of the box. Firefly with Knoppmyth - no go.

I am happy with the ATI remotes, might even buy one instead of the Firefly.

You are doing a great job !! and I really appreciate the response from all admin (and those who knows what they are doing :-)

apparently this is possible in knoppmyth... if you use

1) ati_remote module
2) .xmodmap

my version of firefly accepts inputs as ati_remote ... maps the keys odd... but you can the remap with .xmodmap

I'll re-install knoppmyth... and confirm... later..

well apparently this is only possible if you use the ATI RF reciever, together with the firefly remote :-) at least I can now use the Firefly remote....

I have tried this,

1) ati_remote module
2) .xmodmap

but the remote does not transmit until a second button is pushed.

Example, if I press the 1 button twice it transmit a 1. If I press 1 and then up, it transmits the up button when using irw.

Maybe mythwiki would help: [url]http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snapstream_Firefly[/url]
The key getting firefly working correctly is double keycodes(worked for me!)
ex.
begin codes
MAXI 0x0000001481AC0000
MAXI 0x00000014012C0000
CLOSE 0x00000014D7020000
CLOSE 0x0000001457820000
1 0x00000014628D0000
1 0x00000014E20D0000
2 0x00000014E30E0000
2 0x00000014638E0000
3 0x00000014648F0000
3 0x00000014E40F0000



Hope it helps someone!
