[mythtv-users] Just about there with Actisys IR200 and Digital Cable

[Cory Drinkwater]

Hello All...

I have been successfully using MythTV since 14 and an currently running
15.1. I have finally gotten around to trying to configure an Actisys IR200
to control my Digital Box (Motorola DSR470). I am using a Pundit with a
PVR-350 running FC1 and atrpms build of well basically everything. I have
installed a second version of lirc via the instructions at::
http://members.cox.net/rwraithr/IRBlaster_Howto.txt (kudos to Robert Wamble
:) )
and it works wonderbar from the terminal window, but NOT from inside of
MythTV. Tried every iteration of the entire path to the script
"/usr/local/bin/change_channel.csh" in mythtvsetup for the card, but no go.

I have poured over the lists and have found some similar problems here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/71767?search_string=perl%20path;#71767
which lead me down the road of Perl, but I cannot seem to fix the problem.
When I start Mythfrontend from a terminal window, I see output like this
when Myth tries to change the channel using the script:

----(SNIP)----

So, I am by no means a Perl guy, but it seems like Myth is actually kicking
off the script (which is good) and then something is hooping, giving the
QDateTime errors (which is not so good)... but only inside of Myth.
Thoughts? I have been beating my skull for days now and need some direction.
Thanks a bunch for the help!

Cheers!
