<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi, I have built a mythtv box,
but cannot get the IR<br>
transmitter to work.<br><br>
Specs: <br><br>
Knoppmtyh Release 5 F27<br>
TV Card : Hauppauge Wintv Go Plus w/ remote<br>
(silver/dogbone?)<br>
Video Card: Nvidea<br><br>
The Myth TV part seems to be working fine. I can<br>
record and playback shows fine. I can even get the<br>
Hauppauge remote to work fine to change menus on<br>
mythtv. The irw commands work fine. However, I cannot<br>
get the IR transmitter to change the channels on the<br>
cable set top box.<br><br>
From what i understand, I do not have a serial<br>
transmitter. Most of the docs i see out there mention<br>
serial IR transmitter and requiring two lirc<br>
instances. Mine is part of the cable that comes out<br>
of the IR port <br>
on the Hauppauge card. Basically, the IR port on the<br>
card has a cable plugged into it that splits out to an<br>
IR receiver and an IR transmitter. The IR receiver<br>
works fine. I cannot get the IR transmitter to work.<br><br>
When I do a: irsend SEND_ONCE DCT700 info<br><br>
I get this error:<br>
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE DCT700 info<br>
irsend: hardware does not support sending<br><br>
<br>
When I run:<br>
irsend LIST DCT700 ""<br><br>
That gives back a response. I'm thinking this command<br>
only looks at the /etc/lircd.conf command and not<br>
actually send anything to the IR transmitter.<br><br>
Syslog says:<br><br>
Jun 2 15:36:42 mythtv lircd-0.8.3[2678]: accepted new<br>
client on /dev/lircd<br>
Jun 2 15:36:42 mythtv lircd-0.8.3[2678]: error<br>
processing command: SEND_ONCE DCT700 info<br>
Jun 2 15:36:42 mythtv lircd-0.8.3[2678]: hardware<br>
does not support sending<br>
Jun 2 15:36:42 mythtv lircd-0.8.3[2678]: removed<br>
client<br><br>
I tried this with lircd-0.8.2 and still had the same<br>
problems, so I decided to get the newest lirc and<br>
compile it myself. I compiled lirc 0.8.3 with:<br>
<br>
/configure --with-syslog --with-transmitter<br>
--with-driver=hauppauge<br>
/configure --with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux<br>
--with-moduledir=/lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/kernel/drivers/lirc/<br>
--with-syslog --with-transmitter<br>
--with-driver=hauppauge<br><br>
I got some errors when doing the make and make<br>
install, something about not able to find crtbeginS.o<br>
It seemed to install okay since the logs are showing<br>
the newer version of lirc. I'm not that familiar w/<br>
compiling programs. Is there a way to check if I've<br>
setup lirc okay?<br><br>
<br><br>
I have several entries in /etc/lircd.conf<br>
DCT700 is the cable box set top box model. I've put<br>
those codes in /etc/lircd.conf.<br>
lircd.conf also has entries for: blaster, Hauppauge,<br>
hauppauge_pvr, Hauppauge_350<br><br>
From my understanding, the lircd.conf should have<br>
entries for the cable tv stb (IR transmit) and the<br>
remote control unit (IR receiver).<br><br>
It seems that I can specify anything (e.g., DCT700,<br>
junk, blah, etc.) in the IRSEND command and get the<br>
same error message.<br><br>

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to give<br>
this to my dad for father's day. It was originally<br>
supposed to be an xmas gift, but I've had so many<br>
problems getting this to work.<br><br>
Thanks,<br>
