I have been trying to get my mythtv project completed since september....playing dvd's, listening to music, viewing weather, etc all works perfectly....But the only thing is that I have to use the keyboard to control mythtv. My remote (or lirc, I'm not sure) will not work at all. I have checked several threads on this board and on gossamer-threads, but no matter how many times I try to recompile lirc, my remote will not work ...I am sooo close to finishing my project, but I can't get over this last problem...


I purchased an IR blaster from irblaster.info....And I tried to this howto: http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/inde ... asterHowTo
I am using the lircd.conf for the A415-HPG remote.



I am at my wits end any help would be appreciated..

I know I it is a problem with lirc, here is my output from dmesg | grep lirc

Code:
mythtv@tivo:~ $ dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin:sample_rate: 10


Any help is appreciated....I am so close to finishing, and I know I can get it working. I just want to use the remote to control mythtv, and for mythtv to control my cable box.

p.s. I am running knoppmyth r4v5, with a Motorola DCT2000 cable box, and Comcast Digital Cable

i got mine working last night. i used a modified version of the instructions here.

http://www.mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1558

I used the "dct-channel" directory found in the /usr/src/mythtv-0.17/contrib/(<-to be edited later????) file ran the code like they said and walla.

it wasn’t working till I included the -v at the end.
Code:
/usr/local/bin/channel -v

(I didn’t need the -v for R4V5.) I also changed the permissions. don’t know which one or both, but it worked.

Another place to check is here (at the bottom):
