Using the strings that get displayed when using irw as a reference (they
are defined by the /etc/lircd.conf file), make sure that your lircrc file
has matching strings for each of the buttons and that each of the entries
in the file are of the form:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Right
repeat = 2
config = Right
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Down
repeat = 2
config = Down
end
i.e. make sure that the 'prog' line says mythtv (otherwise it won't get
the command), the 'button' line is what comes from /etc/lircd.conf (as
displayed by irw) and the 'config' like is what mythtv expects (see
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1)
The 'repeat' line (and others you may come across) are all documented in
the lirc docs.
Note that you can extend the file with commands for mplayer (for videos)
and xine (for DVD playing) or even to run programs that know nothing of
lirc at all (and comments start with a '#') - I have the power button on
my remote mapped...
# Mute
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Mute
config = mute
end
# Seek back 10 seconds
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Left
repeat = 1
config = seek -10
endbegin
prog = xine
button = Home
config = Menu
end
begin
prog = xine
button = Forward
repeat = 1
config = SeekRelative+60
end
begin
prog = irexec
button = Power
config = /sbin/halt
mode = halt
flags= once
end
Cheers
