Post subject:  A415 remote on r5e50
Using a wintv-nova-t DVB card with the remote (type a415) plugged in

Ive tried running lirc-reconfig.sh and choosing the c. Silver remote (A415-HPG)

but its not working as expected.

I seem to be suffering the same problems as i expereinced when i installed r5a16 18 months ago, only the arrow and numeric keys work

Back then the solution was a bespoke file and configuring lircd to use /dev/input/eventX where X is in range 0-4

Ive tried a similar approach this time without success.

Anyone else cracked this nut, ive done a search but not found the solution yet for the NOVA-t and r5e50?

Ive tried the config file i used to use in r5a16 but its not working.
do i need to use irw to roll a new file ?

Th Lirc part of this post should help.
The Nova-T apparently uses a different system than the PVRx50 series.

You can try the config-file in my Nova-S wiki (see link below) - there is also the command-line for irrecord to make your own file.

Ok, im starting to appreciate here the problem is not just the a415 remote on R5e50
its the a415 remote using the Nova-t DVB card on r5e50


Ive tried just about everything suggested above including a rebuild of
lirc and rolling my own lircd.conf file using irrecord


which looks like this
# 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-CVS-pvr150(dev/input) on Sun Mar 11 18:25:53 2007

end remote

which does not seems to work.

I'm thinking the nova-t DVB seems a fairly popular card in the uk so surely someone must have crossed this problem before, but then again i could have done something completely stupid so who knows!

Im still just getting the cursor keys an 0-9 buttons working - no back-exit guide etc buttons

attempting to test the remote with irw yields nothing.

its so frustrating

Just to make sure, are you sure that /dev/input/event2 is the correct one. Do the entries in your /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc match up to your lircd.conf? For instance, is there an entry for "RIGHT" (with the exactly the same spelling and capitalization) in your lircrc file?

think its event2 because

Ironically RIGHT works ok

here is an extract from the lircrc

# MythTV LIRC config file for the gray Hauppauge remote
# Sticker on the inside of battery compartment
# A415-HPG
# 1004 032400
#
# /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
#
#
### RESET THE MYTH BOX or REBOOT IT
# 1 click is reset front end, 2 clicks is reboot
#
begin
prog = irexec
button = Power
config = /home/mythtv/scripts/mypower.sh &
end
#
### MYTHTV SETTINGS FOR IT'S CONTROL
#
# Program Guide

prog = mythtv

config = F2
end
#
# TV Recording Playback

end
#
# Live TV

end
#
# MythWeather

end
#

end
#

end
#
# Channel Up
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Channel-UP
repeat = 3
config = Up
end

# Channel Down
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Channel-DOWN
repeat = 3
config = Down
end

# OK/Select
begin
prog = mythtv
button = OK
config = Space
end

# Play
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Play
config = Return
end

# Stop
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Stop
config = Esc
end

# Escape/Exit/Back
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Back-Exit
config = Esc
end

etc...

I think they are all ok in there but the crucial one to get working is Back-Exit which is identical in both files.

          blue                     0x0191
      end codes



no idea why the old file or the new recording did not work but the above merged version seems to work fine...

I hope this is of some use to someone as it wasted more than a few hours messing about to get this working.
