[mythtv-users] Struggling with Lirc

[Stefan D]

No, adding devinput didn't help.

In the same lircrc file i also have these two entries, that do work (so i
can select between running mythtv or xbmc):
begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_POWER2
config = /usr/share/mythtv/restart_mythtv.sh &
repeat = 0
end

begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_SELECT
config = /usr/share/mythtv/restart_xbmc.sh &
repeat = 0
end

Even though i shouldn't have to, but it shouldn't really matter if prog is
mythtv or irexec? Maybe i could use irexec to send keystrokes to mythtv?
