[mythtv-users] Re:General remote/IR port question *slightly OT*

[Alexander P. Petkov]

==========
The one thing I still don't get is how does it recognize the extra
buttons, just for fun ive pointed some other IR remotes I have laying
around the house at it, ran irw, and pressed some keys and I get
nothing.

Oops, it looks like I gave you incorrect info. Rather than trying
with
irw, use irrecord for this. You first have to stop/kill lircd though.
If irrecord cannot recognize a gap or a signed bit presence,  use it
with the -f option like this:

irrecord -f  some_new_remote.txt

This will simply capture the raw codes from your remote. Then you can
copy and paste your newly generated remote info into your lircd.conf.

That remote you mentioned looks good and the price is a killa. Does
it
have a jp1 connector? One other thing, it's sunday man, go to RS and
see what they have. You can check for a jp1 connector by openning the
battery compartment and see that it has a 6-pin connector. Although
the sales person will not have a clue what jp1is.
