[mythtv-users] LIRC with capture card

Tue Jan 27 08:07:37 EST 2004

Hi,

I've just been doing the same thing, I can get it partially working
however not recognise buttons 100% enough to be usable yet, just finished
patching 2.6.1 to fully auto-detect the card and correctly configure the
s-video and composite inputs with remote the last thing to get working.

The trick is you have to specify the correct mask values for the lirc_gpio
module but the driver also has some other AverMedia specific code inside
that won't get called unless the card ID matches which it won't.  If you
take a look at the Windows DLL you can figure out what GPIO bits are used
to determine a mask.

>From what I have determined so far bit 5 = is remote data available, bits
4,5,6,7 and 10,11,12,13 combine to form the actual scan code and bit 2 is
enable.
