I have a tira2 which i got lirc to work with correctly. I have verified by using irw which shows the associated key presses. I have setup a basic lircrc file for moving around myth. here is the lircd.conf file

Code:
# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <lirc@bartelmus.de>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.8.1(tira) on Sun Apr 15 18:08:47 2007

# model no. of remote control:
# devices being controlled by this remote:

begin remote

  name  rem.conf
  bits           32
  eps            30
  aeps          100

      begin codes

          left_arrow               0x89267F77
          up_arrow                 0x0B2EFD7F
          down_arrow               0x0B8EFDDF

          fwd                      0x8B0E7D5F
          rew                      0x8B8E7DDF
      end codes

end remote


and the associated lircrc file

Code:
begin
        prog = mythtv
        button = right_arrow
        config = Right
end

begin
        prog = mythtv
        button = left_arrow
        config = Left
end

begin
        prog = mythtv
        button = up_arrow
        config = Up
end

begin
        prog = mythtv
        button = down_arrow
        config = Down
end

begin
        prog = mythtv
        button = select
        config = Return
end


Can anyone tell me why i cannot get navigation within myth using the remote with this setup? What i am trying to accomplish right now is using the remote to highlight and select menus. I will add more advance features once I have this down.

Assuming the codes in the lircd.conf file are correct, I would guess the lircrc file is A) not located in /home/mythtv/.mythtv or B) not readable by the mythtv user. The lircrc file itself looks fine to me.

location of lircrc is /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc with a symlink from /home/mythtv/lircrc -> /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

The permissions on lircrc are 664 and the owner is mythtv

Hmmm, on my R5D1 + .20 installs I have /home/mythtv/.lircrc (note the period) linked to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc.

Are you running MythTV as root?

That should suffice.

Silly question: Have you restarted lircd since creating/changing the lirc files?

I haven't used irw myself, I use irrecord to capture the key press codes. Do you get the same codes with irrecord?

i am running the same knoppmyth version with the myth upgrade as well. The links are the same as yours, i mistyped and it is /home/mythtv/.lircrc that is linked. i have restarted lircd and rebooted the entire machine after changing the config files. and i did us irrecord to create the lircd.conf file.

Well, you've got me stumped, only thing I can think of is that the lircrc file is not in the correct place. Are you running MythTV as a user other than mythtv?

EDIT: Have you verified that lircd is in fact running, and that your DEVICE= and MODULES= directives in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf are correct? /EDIT

there is the fun part. i downloaded and installed lirc from source. I did the setup script, make, make install and everything worked ok. I have no /etc/lirc directory now. Which means i have no hardware.conf file located in /etc/lirc This may be the cause of some of my problems. I am hesitant to remove lirc, as i have it up and working. maybe you can explain how to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of lirc. Thanks for the help

Well, that would have been nice to know right up front :?

I haven't the foggiest, short of removing it all by hand.

I would recommend using the setup.sh that came with the lirc package to configure it. Then take a look through the config.log and make sure your driver and device file are configured properly, and then run make && make install.

Are the lircd.conf and lircrc complete? What lirc module is being used? Post as much detail as possible so this remote can work out the box in future releases...
