lircd.conf using the "irreccord" command/program.<br>
<br>
After generating it, I came across another file (don't remember exactly where)<br>
that had basically the same codes in it. But, I preferred mine
because I had named the keys the way I wanted to code them in the file,<br>
<br>
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc<br>
<br>
I'm beginning to see that changing unit code IDs is not as simple as I
first thought. Besides the "hand" key setup on the remote itself,
I'm thinking that<br>
a specific lircd.conf must be created that matches that key
setup. I've only done the "irrecord" step once, over 90 days ago
on July 31. All I remember is that it was quite long and tedious,
my notes taken then are really poor, too thin to help me remember what
I did. But, doing it again sems to be the next step. This
time, I'll take more detailed notes.<br>
<br>
I'm really motivated to do this because it will allow me to build more
MythTV boxes, put them in other rooms, yet still control each one
separately with separate Remote Wonders.<br>
