Post subject:  R5F27 Leadtek Winfast Remote
The box in question has Winfast TV2000XP Deluxe Tuner with IR remote (RM0010).

This machine previously had R5A30.2 auto upgraded to R5D1 then R5F1. Remote worked fine after all upgrades so I am reasonably sure hardware is fine.

For R5F27 I decided to do an Auto Install for unrelated stability problems that had been encountered with Mplayer.

During install chose RM-0010 remote for lirc-reconfig.sh script.


1.
Apparently either udev or bttv changes in the kernel change around how this remote is handled. Instead of using /dev/lirc0 as the device in hardware.conf it should now use /dev/input/event1. (ascertained by cat /proc/bus/input/devices).

2.
Another apparent problem is lirc_gpio modules doesn't seem to be needed anymore and errors out when loading. So removed reference to that module from hardware.conf.

3.
The final change to be made was to change the driver in hardware.conf to "dev/input"
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7660?pagenum=11

After the changes to hardware.conf, reboot, tested with irw and recieve no input from remote.

Stopped lirc and attempted to record new remote with

Code:
irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event1 /etc/lircd.conf
and remote still doesn't register for irrecord.

The best suggestion I can find here http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.ph ... the_remote

Basically the guide above says to patch bttv-input.c in the kernel and recompile.

Anyone have any other suggestions or think I am going down the wrong path?

I found this reference to a similar card http://daniel.saunders.googlepages.com/ ... WithMythTV

To append progress to this.

I tried installing Mythbuntu to see if they had resolved and they do not.

There are a few threads on Ubuntu forums about this remote not working in Gutsy based releases.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=578789

And found a thread at Fedora's forums about resolution

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthrea ... ge=1&pp=15
(Dr. Death's post)

So it appears bttv kernel module may need to be patched and then module reconfigured.

hello, want to show my progress, using R5F27 and Winfast TV2000XP RM

i went that way.., without success

1. downloaded patch (diff file) from

http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=116099140716390&w=2

2.downloaded and untar kernel source following this guide, thanks to sparks

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16730&highlight=compile+bttv
until make command

3. tried to appply patch to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13/drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttv-input.c with

Code:
patch bttv-input.c diff


there was some errors - so i changed bttv-input.c manually: add row
if (btv->c.type == BTTV_BOARD_WINFAST2000) ir_input_keydown(ir->dev,&ir->ir,data,data);
under 67 row

and changed 317 row to
ir->mask_keycode = 0x0f8;

4. did make command from compiling guide - waited for some time, and new bttv.ko module was created, which i copied in place of original (which was backuped before)

original bttv.ko size 163924 b
new bttv.ko size 157512 b

after
rmmod bttv
modprobe bttv

i got

i am probably going to not solve this at this time (will use my remote from second Lifeview card .... until get some inspiration)

To update got this issue resolved on Mythbuntu (which didn't work out of box either)

The fix ended up being to make the change to bttv-input.c and recompile the kernel.

Here is link to relevant post on Ubuntu forums (post #49 has resolution)

It is suggested a full Kernel recompile may not be need, this is not my box so I can't test that theory.

hmm, nice to see that it works on Mythbuntu, but back to knoppmyth .. :-),

i found that downloaded kernel sources have inside 0.9.16 version of bttv and compiled iso R5F27 - have 0.9.17 version.

there is probably need to download newer v4l sources: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/1387dc197077.tar.bz2

i havent time to try to recompile bttv in theese days but will give it a try.

Post subject: 
hmm, looks like it works ...

I got patched and compiled bttv.ko and working Leadtek Winfast RM remote control

following is the procedure from the begining:
probably every part was inspired by people like from mysettopbox.tv Forum and others (cannot name all :-) ) thaanks.

Login as root
Code:
$su


Download the kernel-source

Code:
$wget ftp://knoppmyth.net/R5/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
$dpkg -i linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
$cd /usr/src
$tar xjvf linux-source<tab>
$cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13
$cp /boot/config-2.6.18-chw-13 .config


Download this v4l source

Code:
$cd /root
$wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/1387dc197077.tar.bz2
$tar xjvf 1387dc197077.tar.bz2


correct /root/v4l-dvb-1387dc197077/linux/drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttv-input.c with your text editor

after 71 row insert

Code:
if (btv->c.type == BTTV_BOARD_WINFAST2000) ir_input_keydown(ir->dev,&ir->ir,data,data);


it should look

Code:
} else {
    if (btv->c.type ==BTTV_BOARD_WINFAST2000) ir_input_keydown(ir->dev,&ir->ir,data,data);
    ir_input_nokey(ir->dev,&ir->ir);
}



change row 245 from

Code:
ir->mask_keycode = 0x1f8;


to

Code:
ir->mask_keycode = 0x8f8;


it should look

Code:
                case BTTV_BOARD_WINFAST2000:
                       ir_codes = ir_codes_winfast;
                       ir->mask_keycode = 0x8f8;
                break;
       


save, ok, or you can download it :-) bttv-input.c. sometimes it need 0x0f8 as in spalVl post and link to mythbuntu, when i use it - it works but some button was doubled and some not work.

now going to compile

Code:
$cd /root/v4l-dvb-1387dc197077
$make kernel-links
$make


after minute we have compiled bttv.ko in /root/v4l-dvb-1387dc197077/v4l/bttv.ko , or you can download it :-) bttv.ko
it is litle bit bigger than original - above 1 MB - i dont know exactly why, maybe some kind of hardlinking, it is beyond my scope now

we can unload old bttv.ko module (in my case also bt878 and dvb_bt8xx)
Code:
$rmmod bt878
$rmmod dvb_bt8xx
$rmmod bttv


backup old and copy new module

Code:
$cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/kernel/drivers/media/video/bt8xx/
$mv bttv.ko bttv.ko.bak
$cp /root/v4l-dvb-1387dc197077/v4l/bttv.ko bttv.ko


ok, we are at the end, will try to load module

Code:
$modprobe bttv


if our terminal window is alive without any kernel oops maybe you are successfull... :-))
you can check /var/log/syslog to be sure and of course remote control..

there are other configurations need to be made which i only note

lircd.conf for CoolCommand WinFast y04g0033 from http://lircconfig.commandir.com/lircd.c ... remote=451 or from spalVl post

hardware.conf
i have /dev/rc_lead set up with udev to point always the correct /dev/input/eventX

only raw, basic /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc taken from Hauppage lircrc
