<br>
My remote control with my PVR-150 was working great when I used the packaged
install (mythtv-suite). Then I decided I wanted to tweak some of the plugin
settings, so I decided to build from source.<br>
<br>
I have built from source and got basically everything working like it used to,
but my remote control doesnt work with mythtv anymore.<br>
<br>
When I compiled, the ./configure script reported lirc support : yes<br>
<br>
I can still run my remote with irw, the messages are received correctly (lircd
is running).<br>
<br>
I can also use the remote with irxevent piping the remote commands to mythtv.<br>
<br>
However, Id really prefer to get native remote control support in mythtv so I
could use my existing lircrc file.<br>
<br>
I searched the archive with nothing pointing directly to my problem.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
Any log files I should post to help the members of this great community to
figure out whats going on?<br>
<br>
Eric.<br>

There are some reports that ivtv causes the remote to stop working after a
while. Does it come back for a short period if you reboot? On the ivtv list
there was a patch which basically puts in an IR reset into the code. There are
also patches to do the same with a once a minute cron job. This might not be
your case where you say it works with irw.<br>
<font size=2 color=navy><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'> <br>
<br>
That is an interesting idea, but a couple things: Concerning reboot: it makes
no difference. The remote _<i><span style='font-style:italic'>always</span></i>_
works with irw and irxevent, but _<i><span style='font-style:italic'>never</span></i>_
in mythtv. I did compile ivtv from source whereas before I was using the
pre-built binaries in the package install, so what you say is possible, but
since it works with irw always, I wouldnt think the problem is with the
driver. Other thoughts? TIA, Eric.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Well, the lircrc file is what controls the functionality away from irw. Are you
sure it didn't get corrupted/overwritten?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
