</div></div>That said, I'm not 100% sure how the shell quoting is applied to the<br>
hardware.conf stuff. You might need to either remove or escape the<br>
single quotes.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>for the record, this is how I've named the device in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf.</div><div><br></div><div>1) Get the device name:</div><div><br></div><div><div>$ dmesg | grep rc[0-9]</div><div>[ 17.212027] Registered IR keymap rc-rc6-mce</div><div>[ 17.212822] input: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (1934:5168) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/rc/rc0/input5</div><div>[ 17.213472] rc0: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (1934:5168) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/rc/rc0</div><div>[ 17.259901] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0</div></div><div><br></div><div>2) Update /etc/lirc/hardware.conf:</div><div><br></div><div><div>REMOTE_DEVICE="name=*eHome?Infrared?Remote?Transceiver*"</div></div><div><br></div><div>If I entered spaces between the words I got an error about invalid parameters on starting lirc.
