Gabe:
I did as you suggested, and tried it with the sample mute commands.
This is what I put in my /home/mythtv/.lircrc file:
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Volume-UP
repeat = 4
config = mute
end
begin
prog = mplayer
button = Volume-DOWN
repeat = 4
config = mute
end
I rebooted, and nothing happens. Its almost as if mplayer isnt getting
anything from lirc. I verified that I'm using the right button names, I
double-checked my /etc/lircd.conf file, and those are the names, and I
ran "irw" and hit my volume up and volume down buttons, and I got:
0000000000001791 00 Volume-DOWN grayHauppauge
0000000000001f90 00 Volume-UP grayHauppauge
Yet mplayer still isnt muting. So, it seems as if mplayer isnt even
getting my lirc commands at all... so perhaps its a matter of figuring
out why and how to fix that. mplayer says it defaults to ~/.lircrc as
the default lirc file... and it is being called as the user "mythtv".
Thoughts? Sorry for being a bother, just missing my Sirius. I had this
working great on KnoppMyth, but I was having major issues getting my
irblaster working with KnoppMyth and it worked perfectly with MythDora,
so I decided to make the switch and give this distro a try for a little
while. Ultimately I want to install Slackware (its my distro of choice)
and get Myth up and running on it, but thats a project for later on this
spring when I have more free time... heh. :)
Thanks!
