part of getting my ECS
Liva working, I plugged in
an old Microsoft branded
IR receiver and it worked
great with Fedora 21's
mceusb driver. When I
moved the Liva to the TV
location I swapped in the
off-brand/generic IR
receiver that had been
working for years with
CentOS 6 and the mceusb
driver therein.<br>
<br>
Guess what? Nothing.<br>
<br>
So I swapped the old
Microsoft receiver to get
things working. But why
didn't the other receiver
work? I had also purchased
an inexpensive HP receiver
and in a fit of pique
threw it in the trash when
it didn't work with the
Liva. I think I was rash.<br>
<br>
Can anyone provide any
guidance on getting an
off-brand receiver working
with newer kernels? I
assume support for older
hardware has been removed.
I recall the HP receiver
did load mceusb and
identify it as the usual
"eHome receiver" I've
always seen. Just no
output from irw.<br>
<br>
Can anyone point to USB IR
receivers available that
work with current kernels?
Obviously the old
Microsoft receivers are
long out of stock.<br>

Latest versions of openelec, which are running
very recent kernels. <br>

Okay. Not wild about ordering from China. What did they
charge for shipping?<br>

<div>I think that is the same one I have been using and that
includes shipping, probably have ordered and installed 20
or more of them. <br>
