If I use the mceusb lircd.conf, everything works fine (irw displays the button presses of my MCE remote, mythtv responds), so I believe the receiver and software are working correctly.<br>

During irrecord, I get lots of length 1 sequences. I should note that in the old configuration (lirc under mythbuntu 10.04), the exact same hardware worked perfectly, so I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong or what might have changed.<br>

</div>There's a minor but critical for non-RC5/6 remotes bug in the mceusb driver<br>
that might be tripping you up. There's a timeout value in the driver that is<br>
1/10th the time it should be (10ms instead of 100ms), which causes a reset<br>
event to trigger in the middle of a relatively long pulse or space sample,<br>
which does Bad Things to signal interpretation. It should be fixed in kernel<br>
3.0, not sure if it'll be before release or via the stable tree, and 2.6.39<br>
should also get it via its stable tree. No clue about kernels that are any<br>
older than that. There's always media_build though, once the patch is merged<br>
into the media tree (I only sent the pull req this afternoon).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, that's good to know. At least now I can stop beating my head against a wall. Is there anything within my control I can do in the meantime to get this to work? Unfortunately, my URC-R50 remote doesn't seem to have an MCE code set. I suppose I could have it learn all the MCE codes... </div>
