I'm trying to use the HDPVR's (lirc_zilog tx_only=1) IR transmitter
on Ubuntu Precise , kernel 3.5.0-48, Myth 0.27+fixes.<br>
<br>
The module 'lirc_zilog' loads okay and I can run lircd on the
device:<br>
<blockquote>lircd -n --pidfile=/var/run/lirc/lircd-hdpvr1
--device=/dev/lirc1 --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd-hdpvr1
/usr/share/lirc/extras/transmitters/dish/general.conf<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I can list the remote codes:<br>
<blockquote>irsend --device=/var/run/lirc/lircd-hdpvr1 LIST "dish"
""<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
But I can't send any commands, nor does the emitter flash:<br>
<blockquote>irsend --device=/var/run/lirc/lircd-hdpvr1 SEND_ONCE
dish left<br>
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE dish left<br>
irsend: transmission failed<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
lircd reports:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">lircd-0.9.0[8981]: accepted new client on
/var/run/lirc/lircd-hdpvr1<br>

<br>
I've tried several transmitter/remote config files with the same
results.<br>
<br>
I would greatly appreciate some guidance here as I'm not sure what
is going on, am I missing something about lircd protocols?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
