I've read the Wiki page and Googled around quite a bit, but I'm stuck. I'm running MythBuntu 10.04.<br><br>Here is what I've done:<br><br>I've built the patched hdpvr and LIRC drivers with IR support (from <a href="http://www.themainlan.com/mythtv/hdpvr-blaster-drivers.tar.gz">http://www.themainlan.com/mythtv/hdpvr-blaster-drivers.tar.gz</a>)<br>
<br>I've installed the IR firmware file in /lib/firmware.<br><br>I've installed the LIRC drivers<br>I should perhaps elaborate a bit on this. I tried overwriting just the modules I was interested in. I also tried removing the entire lirc/* tree and replacing it with just the .ko files I needed (in case there were lingering issues with the old drivers). I did a "depmod" in all cases.<br>
<br>When I start lirc, I get /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lircd (just as I would expect).<br><br>I don't have a receiver so I basically left the fields for the REMOTE_* variables in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf empty. My TRANSMITTER lines look like this:<br>
<br>TRANSMITTER="HD-PVR"<br>TRANSMITTER_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_zilog"<br>TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""<br>TRANSMITTER_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"<br>TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""<br>TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""<br>
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""<br><br>My logs say this:<br><br>May 9 17:22:17 mythtv lircd-0.8.6[4537]: lircd(default) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd<br>May 9 17:22:19 mythtv lircd-0.8.6[4537]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd<br>

May 9 17:22:30 mythtv kernel: [ 3692.244649] lirc_zilog: i2c_master_recv failed with -5 -- keeping last read buffer<br><br>I get these messages even if I'm not doing anything with IR. If I send an irsend I don't get any indication from irsend that anything when wrong and I don't seem to get any errors in my logs associated with the irsend command being issues (although the messages above about i2c_master_recv continue at seemingly random intervals). The "accepted new client" and "removed client" are in response to the running of irsend.<br>
<br>Any suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated. I really don't have the foggiest idea what my next step should be.<br><br>--<br>Mike<br><em><br></em>
