I'm trying to setup a new installation of MythDora with
an IR blaster to control the STBs. I had the IR Blaster
working with Kubuntu, but I couldn't get the PVR-500
working there and all the Ubuntu kernel and module loading
modifications were driving me crazy so I gave up on it.
Anyway now I'm trying MythDora, and it appears to already
have all the required modules and even tried to set up the
irblaster for me. Unfortunately I think the MythDora
developers didn't for see that you might have two LIRC
devices, the lirc_i2c for the PVR-500 and the lirc_serial
for the IR Blaster. The modules load and I've even tried
disabling the the lirc_i2c, but I still don't have the
IR blaster working. When I load both modules only the
/dev/lirc0 device is created, and if I create a /dev/lirc1
device neither driver uses it. If I just load the lirc_serial
driver it shows up on /dev/lirc0, and lircd and irsend think
everything is hunky dory, but I don't get any IR blasting..
Has anyone gotten this configuration to work in
MythDora? If so, how did you do it? If anyone has
a similar configuration, how did you resolve the
problem?
