All-

Lessons learned with a Snapstream Firefly USB remote:

1) compile lirc from source in the /usr/src directory, it took some digging to realize the lirc setup was for the Happauge Grey Remote

2) You may need to setup a new lircd.conf file for the remote, I just bought a new one, and no existing configs worked:
* use Mode2 to verify remote is working with lirc
* use irrecord to map buttons with the hex read by lirc (on the firefly
you need to map each button twice (thanks to some post I read here)
* edit the .lircrc file in ~mythtv/.mythtv to map buttons to options

3) enjoy

I didn't see a good FAQ on writing a lircrc file, if anyone knows of one I would be interested...

What is it you are stating? Are these the steps you took to get the remote working? If so, how about posting details in the thread I started specifically to addres remotes?
