Re: [mythtv] Help on changing mythsetup






There are 4 settings... 

REMOTE_CONTROL => is the corresponding remote name in the
/etc/lircd.conf

LIRC_DEVICE => /dev/lircd or something else for multiple daemons (Im
running remoted also, for the transmitter)

LIRC_WAIT => how long to wait between sends, I think this depends on
your setup, Im currently at 0.3 seconds

STB_DIGITS => the number of digits for the STB, like if to enter a
channel without hitting enter and not waiting for the timeout, 003 =
channel 3.... I think satelite has 4 digits, while cable has 3 type of
thing.

Now, everything is set as #defines in the source code, but obviously
this would have to be configurable for the end user....
