Hey, I bought a Harmony 659 all in one remote. I currently use an ATI Remote Wonder to control mythtv. From what I can see, the Harmony remote needs to emulate another IR remote to control mythtv. To do this, I needed to find an IR Receiver and an IR remote. I found a receiver/remote that came with a PVR-150-MCE I bought a while back. Currently, I'm not using the PVR-150 in my mythtv box. The IR Transceiver is USB and I can see that by doing: Code: mythtv@mythtv:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0609:031d SMK Manufacturing, Inc.

I've tried c, d and f to no avail. I also tried #28 for mceusb and it says it should have auto-detected it. I then selected b for the new one and still no avail Here's the output from the lirc-reconfig.log Code: root@mythtv:/home/mythtv# cat /var/log/mythtv/lirc-reconfig.log T: Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 8 B: Alloc= 35/900 us ( 4%), #Int= 2, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.06 S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.18-chw-13 ohci_hcd S: Product=OHCI Host Controller S: SerialNumber=0000:00:0b.0 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

Or do I need the actual PVR card installed? Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Brad

Hi, I missed what KM version? I find it works quit nicely with R5F1 and even some previous versions. I select the choice about 150 with dog bone I did need to reboot and you don't need any tuner. The requirement was because I was playing with a sff Gateway that only has usb and will only accept the low profile 150 (which has no space for a remote connection) The receiver, if I recall correctly needed to be plugged in at boot time also.

Hey Mike, Thanks for the reply. I'm using RE50. So basically you plugged it into your system before booting up, ran lirc-reconfig.sh and you selected the pvr-150 with dog bone? Which remote out of the three in this link do you have? I have the 4th one. Do you mind posting your lirc.conf and lircrc? Thanks for your help! Brad

Hi, I was just doing some experimenting so was able to repeat what I had posted to you I just redid an auto upgrade and had selected the 150 with dog bone. When I saw your note, I plugged in my usb ir receiver: dmesg reported: lirc_mceusb2: Philips eHome USB IR Transciever and Microsoft MCE 2005 Remote Control driver for LIRC $Revision: 1.25 $ lirc_mceusb2: Daniel Melander <lirc@rajidae.se>, Martin Blatter <martin_a_blatter@yahoo.com> lirc_mceusb2[2]: SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb2:2 usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb2 and of course it didn't work, as expected. I then rebooted and dmesg\|grep lirc reports this: sh-3.1$ dmesg\|grep lirc lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 lirc_mceusb2: Philips eHome USB IR Transciever and Microsoft MCE 2005 Remote Control driver for LIRC $Revision: 1.25 $ lirc_mceusb2: Daniel Melander <lirc@rajidae.se>, Martin Blatter <martin_a_blatter@yahoo.com> lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0 lirc_mceusb2[2]: SMK eHome Infrared Transceiver on usb2:2 usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb2 and it works I am using a hdhomerun as a tuner. and this works with the R5F1. I never used R5E50 but I think it worked in D. after some putzing but that was a long time ago so I forget... that happens when you get over 21 You may have to re run the lirc-reconfig script and reselect the H415 to obtain the proper table if it doesn't work for you. Mean time I will play a little to see if it repeatable for me. I know if you take the newer lirc and put it into C7 you can use the H415 instead of the funky silver cigar. Hated to use the vol up /dwn to navigate left / rigtht Maybe you might want to consider upgrading if all else fails, ponder on the idea for a week or two.. The only thing custom I did to the lirc was to add a restart mythfrontend to the green button for my C7 machine but it uses the little ir button for the 350 card. It got to be a pain to run to the cellar to restart it when sometimes it would shutdown when switching a menu choice so now I just press the green button. I would upgrade it but I have too many other things running and it would take me weeks to rebuild and it is to slow / old to do hd anyway. Nothing fancy so not really any need to post what you should already have. Hope that is helpful. Mike

Hey, I got the Hauppauge remote to work, finally. Turns out lirc was looking at /dev/lirc and not /dev/lirc0 even though my hardware.conf was saying so. So I just did a symlink from one to the other, and it works. Now just to figure out the Harmony -> Hauppauge link! Thanks, Brad
