I cannot get the remote to come up. It seems that everything works, lirc even added the mpeg2 card in their latest release, but the dmesg output doesnt detect the card's remote. any help/ideas?
I have a second card in that also has a remote (but I lost the IR for it) it is a TView99. Interestingly, it gets assigned a subdevice Remote1 (as if there is a Remote0, but I cant find that one)

thanks

I'd like to mention the simple fix for this situation. Use card=72 for the pixelview playtv MPEG2 rev9F.

Would you mind elaborating on exactly where to put that? Or point me in the right direction?

Basically this is what I have in my /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv0 file
This loads up two cards, so:
card0 is 72 has tuner 43, a radio, a bttv_gpio, and a remote
card1 is 38, has tuner 17, no radio, gpio or remote

I'm not sure about the btaudio part
I'm glad to answer any other questions on this hw, this thread is set to send me any replies.

alias char-major-81-0 bttv
options bttv card=72,38 tuner=43,17 radio=1,0 bttv_gpio=1,0 remote=1,1
options btaudio dsp1=1 dsp2=2

What would be handy is a list of all settings or files you had to change to get this particular card to work.

*Edit*

If you could post your Remote button files that would be great.
Also here is a link to the car di have just to make sure we are on the same page.

Ok first, let me point out that I got overly excited when the remote worked and didnt check the sound off the card. So, long story short, card=70 (NOT 72)

As far as I recall, these are the changes I made to get the card working. Some may not be required--any input would be appreciated.

first, I followed these instructions http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=BTTV+BTAudio
except...

/etc/mythtv/modules/bttv0 add the following lines:

options bttv card=70 tuner=43
options btaudio dsp1=1 dsp2=2

to get lirc working, I downloaded the latest version from sourceforge (or lirc.org), configured it using the card "playtv MPEG2" which was just added as far as i can tell--so get the latest version)
This comes with a nice config file under the remote directory after uncompression (/lirc-0.8.0/remotes/pixelview/lircd.conf.playtv_pro). copy this to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf if the setup didnt place it there. then you need to make a file called /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc containing the following (in my case... and my case isnt finished yet):
#FILE START
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 0
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 1
config = 1
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 2
config = 2
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 3
config = 3
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 4
config = 4
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 5
config = 5
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 6
config = 6
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 7
config = 7
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 8
config = 8
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = 9
config = 9
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = power
config = Esc
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = zoom
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = scan
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = tv/fm
config = Z
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = vol+
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = vol-
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = chan+
config = Up
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = chan-
config = Down
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = mute
config = |
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = source
config = Y
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = loop
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = +100
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = fn-
config = Left
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = fn+
config = Right
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = reset
config = 0
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = freeze
config = P
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = function
config = R
end
#FILE END

and that should do it. if it doesnt work, i've forgotten some steps.... I had to go through a lot of trial and error.

so after upgrading to R5E50, both of my tv cards "lost" their remotes. You can see the previous dmesg above (though with bttv0 setup incorrectly and missing the remote) Now I get this:

is the remote?

dmesg | grep bttv

Also... my remote seems to be working since if i press the down arrow on it in console, i get output onto the prompt. however, even after doing a "killall lircd" i can't run irrecord. any ideas?

ok, ive found this: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.ph ... ontrollers



and here are the quick instructions:


unfortunately, ive screwed with too many settings not realizing this and now i think it's all screwed up. for instance, the down arrow no longer give input, ive noticed.
