[mythtv-users] HDPVR blaster setup final steps

[steve]

Having gotten my HDPVR ir blaster working, I'm trying to make the final
changes necessary to have it start up properly and install a channel change
script.  I'm consulting http://www.eggshellskull.com/lirc/blaster/index.php
which was linked off the wiki page
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Using_an_IR_Blaster_with_MythTV.  

 

A few questions about this:

 

(1) HDPVR wiki page says after the enabling steps (which I have done) the
HDPVR is good to go except for a channel change script.  Do I need to do any
of the stuff recommended on this page?  If not, I know I at least need to
get modprobe lirc_zilog to run on startup. How do I accomplish that?

 

If I do need to do the stuff on this page, it is based on FC3 and not using
a HDPVR therefore...

 

(2) It says I need the following packages:

 

lirc-devices-0.7.0-1

lirc-0.7.0-43

lirc-kmdl-[YOURKERNEL]

lirc-lib-0.7.0-43

lirc-lib-devel-0.7.0-43 

 

Is that still correct?  The ones I currently have installed are:

 

lirc-0.8.6-1.fc12.x86_64

lirc-remotes-0.8.6-1.fc12.x86_64

lirc-libs-0.8.6-1.fc12.x86_64

 

(3) It says to add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

 

/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c

/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial

/usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 --output=/dev/lircd

/usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 --output=/dev/lircd1
--pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid 

 

Is this correct?  For example, do I need lirc_i2c and lirc_serial, or should
these be replaces with lirc_zilog?  Also I don't have anything on /dev/lirc1
(incoming remote is a Gyraton that's already configured), so I should omit
that line?

 

(4) It advises to edit modprobe.conf as follows:

 

alias char-major-61-0 lirc_i2c

alias char-major-61-1 lirc_serial

options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8

####IR setup####

install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
lirc_i2c

install lirc_serial setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install lirc_serial 

 

Again I'm not confident this stuff matches the HDPVR setup.  How to modify?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
