<pre wrap="">I am running Fedora 18 on a dual-core Pentium 4 (i386 distro) if this
matters.
The problem is that the UDP driver does not seem to work. I have
followed the instructions at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hdhomerun#Setting_up_IR_Forwarding">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hdhomerun#Setting_up_IR_Forwarding</a>
The HDHomerun does appear to be sending packets to port 5000 on the
target system, as confirmed by tcpdump.
If I start "lircd -H udp -d 5000" on the target system as instructed, it
appears to start, but it is not actually listening on the network. I
tried both the Fedora packaged version and compiling from source
downloaded from lirc.org, and the symptoms are the same. "netstat" and
"lsof" confirm that it is running, but not listening on any network
port. If I use "strace" to start it, it appears that neither the main
process nor the child it forks ever even TRY to open a network
connection. If I do "lircd --driver=?", it does report "udp" in the list
of drivers. There are no errors logged.
Anybody seen this and have a workaround? Is there some other version of
lircd that I should be using?
Thanks,

Just to confirm that the HDHR is still sending packets you can try
this:<br>
At the console as root with lirc not running start mode2 with this
command:<br>
mode2 -H udp -d 5000 <br>
You should be able to see the output of your remote presses. You
can also run irrecord via udp with this command:<br>
irrecord -H udp -d 5000 -n testfilename (also with lirc stopped)
file ends up in "root"<br>
<br>
I'm running Mythbuntu, so I'm not familiar with Fedora. I let
Mythbuntu install and run lircd for a generic remote. After
configuring the HDHR properly, I then configure lircd by modifying
"/etc/lirc/hardware.conf" for the HDHR by adding/modifying these
lines:<br>
REMOTE_MODULES=""<br>
REMOTE_DRIVER="udp"<br>
REMOTE_DEVICE="5000"<br>
REMOTE_SOCKET=""<br>
<br>
Again, I don't know if Fedora uses a hardware.conf file for lirc or
not. If it does, maybe it is conflicting with the command line
switches.<br>
<br>
If the mode2 command doesn't work, then your problem may not be
related to lirc, maybe you have some sort of firewall or network
problem.<br>
