[mythtv-users] DCT700 irblaster failing zero key [solved]

[Billy Macdonald]

Hi,

     I've been troubleshooting why the zero key doesn't work on my
DCT700.  I found a number of posts on the same topic but not great
solutions.  I did find a few innovative solutions where they would
change to a lower channel and then go up to the one they want.  But I
was afraid of there being missing channels or new channels added.  I
tried using irrecord  to create a conf file but 0 failed on that too.
:(.  Using mode2 I was able to see some more info added to the end of
the 0 press that mode2 wasn't capturing.  By manually adding that to
the end of the 0 codes in my irrecord raw file, I have been able to
get the zero key to work.  I'm not sure if this is the best way, but
it seems to be working.

/etc/lircd.conf:  (you'll notice name 0 is longer than the rest.
Also, I had to increase gap to 200000; however, I don't know what it
means. It was originally 90k something)
