Post subject: | lirc and Microsoft USB(2) Remote |
After Installing KnoppMyth the mceusb2 remote did not work. To get it to work I had to: Copy: /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/mceusb2/etc/lircd.conf to /etc ...(same).../remotes/mceusb2/etc/lircrc to /home/mythtv/.mythtv Change: I had to remove the arguments in the /etc/init.d/lirc file start section: ---------------------------------------------------------------- case "$1" in start) if [ "$LOAD_MODULES" = "true" ] && [ "$START_LIRCD" = "true" ]; then load_modules $MODULES fi echo -n "Starting lirc daemon:" if $START_LIRCD; then echo -n " lircd" LIRCD_ARGS=`build_args $LIRCD_ARGS` start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd \ < /dev/null fi if $START_LIRCMD; then echo -n " lircmd" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircmd \ < /dev/null fi echo "." ;; ---------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL LINE!!! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- $LIRCD_ARGS \ I did not really investigate why I had to remove the $LIRCD_ARGS. When the $LIRCD_ARGS was there and I ran the irw program it would run and the lircd daemon would terminate. Without the $LIRCD_ARGS the irw works fine. javascript:emoticon(':D') Very Happy |

I'm using an mce usb remote supplied with my PVR-500 it's silver and is marked RC6 on the underside. I followed the instructions here http://www.sysop.ca/?p=55 which also advise editing /etc/init.d/lirc to remove the daemon startup args. worked for me. |

This worked for me too- I downloaded his file, replaced mine and restarted lirc, then gdm. Zeph |

Could you add some more details about your other systems hardware? Tier 2 hardware recommendations are supposed to be completed enough for someone else to use as a template for setting up their own system. They're also meant to help answer questions like "Does card X work with motherboard Y under version Z?" |

Post subject: | MCE remote (the 2005 edition) |
I've had the joy of installing KNoppmyth several times (R5C7) and one thing that I noticed as I went through the installation is when you get to the part about the MCE remote and it tells you that the LIRC is mainly for the old MCE remote there is a menu right after that which asks if you have a serial IR adapter (or something like that) Well the first time installing I didn't know what that was so I selected YES to install it, then realized I dont have one of those so you scroll through some options and get to a point where you can choose "I'll install this later" and when I did that my MCE 2005 remote worked. |
