Hi Stephen,<br>
<br>
ircat mythtv doesn’t show any input from the remote<br>
<br>
I do have a lircd.conf file in /etc/lirc<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Dave<br></blockquote><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><br></span></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">Permissions on files possibly? The entries in your config looks correct, but can they be read? I am out of ideas here if ircat does not work. What are the perms on /var/run/lirc/lircd also?</span> </div></div></div>
