I have this in my startup script:
/usr/local/irtrans/irserver -start_clock -daemon -logfile /var/log/
irserver.log -pidfile /var/run/irserver.pid /dev/ttyUSB0
/usr/local/sbin/LCDd &
Relevant section from /etc/LCDd.conf:
[server]
# Server section with all kinds of settings for the LCDd server
Driver=irtrans
#
# Tells the server to load the given drivers. Multiple lines can be
given.
# NOTE: You may activate several input (input only) drivers but only
ONE output
# driver, which should be the first.
Bind=127.0.0.1
# Tells the driver to bind to the given interface
Port=13666
# Listen on this specified port; defaults to 13666.
I'm assuming you turned on LCD Display in MythFrontend.
I killed my mythlcdserver and ran it from a shell so I could see what
it was doing. At the same time, I ran frontend from a shell so I could
see what it was doing with the LCD stuff. Check your logs and see what
they tell you.
