I used irw rather than irrecord. Seemed easier not to try to
re-input the same codes. If you shutdown your lircd and then
restart but point it to the lircd.conf from:
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/rc-5/RC-5
then irw will return sys_05_command_xxx codes when you
press a button it recognizes (or if you tap setup on the remote
and then enter a 3 digit code to try an unmapped EFC). The
hex value that corresponds to the sys_05_command_xxx code
in the lircd.conf is the code to use. There are also RC5+ and
RC6 codes, which is why the left, right keys may send a signal
that cannot be mapped this way (but the Hauppauge receiver
recognizes it, which is why I have a second section in my
lircd.conf just for those 2 buttons).
Hope this makes sense. If you have any other questions just
let me know. I love piling up brownie points ;-)
