Post subject:  RS232 IR Blaster and r6 help

Hi Guys,

I think it has been years since had to ask a question. But here goes.
My hd crashed a day ago and i decided to upgrade my mythtv box. I installed linhes 6.1 and am very impressed. Sound vid remote all worked out of the box.

I went to the linhes config and remote and turned on serial blaster picked tts3 and found my exact sat box.

[root@mythtv-server ~]# dmesg | grep lirc
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
lirc_mod_mce: Input driver for Microsoft MCE 2005 keyboard v0.1.5
lirc_mod_mce: Florian Demski
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
lirc_mod_mce[2]: SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb2:2
usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_mod_mce
lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
[root@mythtv-server ~]#

now in the old r5f27 i would go to my change-chan.sh file in etc and verify it had the proper set top codes. But what do i do next in r6.1?

I didn't add the change channel to mythtv setup yet as i don't know what one to add. I found two configured ones in usr/MythVantage/templates. But both have the wrong remote info so i assume they are not created by the mythtv gui.

Check /usr/bin and see if there is a change_chan.sh there with the correct info.

Post subject:  Just can't get serial IR blaster to work

I've been studying the forums but I can't get a new R6.02 installation to use irblaster with a serial IR to change channels on my Dish receiver.

My old KnoppMyth setup used a change_channel.sh script, which I can't find anywhere. Even before that I can't lircd to run. The commands are run intermixed with a tail -f of /var/log/lircd

Code:
[root@mythbe bin]# /etc/rc.d/lircd restart
:: Stopping LIRC Daemon                                                  [DONE]
Apr 12 23:48:35 mythbe lircd: caught signal
:: Starting LIRC Daemon                                                  [DONE]
[root@mythbe bin]# Apr 12 23:48:36 mythbe lircd: lircd(default) ready

[root@mythbe bin]# /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/lircd SEND_ONCE 301 5
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE 301 5
irsend: hardware does not support sending
[root@mythbe bin]# Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: could not get hardware features
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: major number of /dev/ttyS1 is 4
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: LIRC major number is 61
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: check if /dev/ttyS1 is a LIRC device
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: WARNING: Failed to initialize hardware
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: error processing command: SEND_ONCE 301 5
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: hardware does not support sending
Apr 12 23:49:20 mythbe lircd: removed client


How do I get this to work?
