[mythtv-users] Remote Wonder on FC5 w/ LIRC

[Eric Larson]

Thanks guys, I got it! You were right Cool, I started up mythfrontend and
piped stdout to a file. Then I saw the stderr line say it struggled reading
my lircrc file because of an error on line 160. Oh, a begin block without an
end. Wow, do I feel dumb.

I don't want to think how long it would've taken me to figure it out without
your guys's help. Thanks!
