The USB device was auto-detected and the drivers mapped the remote keys to reasonable settings. The gap was that MythTV did not recognize the multimedia keys by default. This seems odd. Isn't MythTV an extremely good use case for those multimedia key inputs like "KEY_PAUSE"? It also doesn't seem like there would be drawbacks to mapping these by default. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 12:08 PM, Alec Leamas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:leamas.alec@gmail.com" target="_blank">leamas.alec@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 01/10/15 18:40, Hika van den Hoven wrote:<br>

I was struggling to understand the relationship among all these layers and<br>

As said I haven't tried it, but I assume it to work. The other way<br>
would be to use lirc and .lircrc as in the old way. e.g.<br>
<br>
begin<br>
prog = mythtv<br>
button = KEY_PAUSE<br>
config = P<br>
end<br>
<br>

With ir-keytable decoding all keys you should basically be able to do it with or without LIRC. However, here is potential to run both tracks simultaneously and that might certainly be a mess.<br>
<br>
If you not use LIRC, just disable the comṕlete service so it doesn't mess with anything. This means that the application will receive events from a /dev/input/eventXX interface without any lirc involvement.<br>
<br>
If you want to use lirc, use the devinput driver and the same event interface as device. This will make the button presses available on the lircd socket (var/run/lirc/lircd?) where multiple applications can read it and map it using ~/.lircrc. Applications (here multiple) must not access the event interface, they should listen to the lircd socket.<br>
