</div></div>"Older version of mythbuntu" says it all - there have been big changes<br>
in how IR receivers work in the kernel, and likely your old config is<br>
for the old way and needs significant updating to work now. The<br>
driver for the MCE remotes has been moved into the kernel.<br>
<br>
So what is your config? You might like to take a look at my working<br>
Mythbuntu 14.04 config for my "SMK Manufacturing, Inc. eHome Infrared<br>
Receiver" and my Hauppague Nova-TD 500 and HVR-900r2 IR receivers. It<br>
uses the new devinput driver and is available on my web server:<br>

<br>
Read the README file for some help with how to configure and test a<br>
devinput lirc setup.<br>

</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks, I'll take a look at your config, maybe it will shed some light. To be clear though, the config on my old computer is not the issue. I did a clean install on the new computer - didn't migrate any settings, wiped the disk. So the default mythbuntu 14.04 did not produce a workable configuration. I also tried uninstalling lirc and just dealing with ir-keytable - I'm not as familiar with that as with lirc, but the raw scancodes looked damaged.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks for straightening out my top posting, btw.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">-Jerry</div></div>
