[mythtv-users] PLEASE post your 0.19 + LIRC 0.8.0 IR Blaster Configuration

[Reece Robinson]

Hi,

I have been struggling for a few months now trying to get my serial IR 
Blaster working. I have recently upgraded my MythTV suite to the latest 
ATrpms (a week ago) and everything works great ... except I'm still lost 
as to how to use the LIRC component to not only receive but transmit.

I have looked at the LIRC site, gossamer-threads.com and searched Google 
for many hours however there is nothing that I can find that deals 
specifically with configuring LIRC for receive and transmit (with serial 
transmitter)!! I get the impression from what I have found that prior to 
LIRC 0.8.x you would just follow the instructions at 
http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html. 
But this does not seem to work with the latest version from ATrpms 
(segmentation faults).

So... if anyone has a working configuration they are using with MythTV 
that uses a single instance of LIRC to receive via the Hauppauge IR 
receiver and transmit via a serial IR blaster PLEASE PLEASE can you post 
your configuration files!!!

I am VERY impressed with MythTV and am desperate to complete my PVR 
project so I can enjoy it!

Many thanks

Reece.

My basic details are:
-------------------------
Fedora Core 4
MythTV 0.19
LIRC 0.80 (ATrpms)
2 x Hauppauge 350 (both work great)
1 x Hauppauge Remote connected to one of the 350 cards (works well with 
LIRC)
1 x Serial IR Blaster (not currently working).
