Nick,
I dont think thats the problem, This is the script I'm using, its
straight from the guide I used. Before I commented out the last line, I
would get an error that SELECT wasn't a valid code in the command line,
and the myth backend log would say that the script exited with error
code somethingorrather.
#!/bin/sh
STB_NAME=DCT2000
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
irsend --device=/dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE $STB_NAME $digit
sleep 0.4
done
#irsend --device=/dev/lircd1 SEND_ONCE $STB_NAME SELECT
I just had a thought that my channel setup might be wrong. The channel
setup window is very confusing with what goes where. I have the channel
number I want to change to external STB to in the Channel Number field
on the first page of channel setup. Should I also be putting it in the
Frequency box on the second page?
