Hi, I'm struggling with, what must be a simple configuration problem
with lirc. I'm sure I must have have misssed something obvious...
I'd like to get lirc to work on a x64 Centos 5.6 based MythTV 0.24
system. It has a PVR-350, two Nova T DVB and a DVB-S2 card.
lirc is from the atrpm's repository.
I think I might not have the right driver loaded or configured
correctly. I have manually loaded lirc_dev but despite much googling I'm
not at all clear what options modprobe.conf might need. Guessing, I have put
alias char-major-61 lirc_dev
into /etc/modprobe.conf
I have an IR receiver plugged into the DVB-S2 and according to
/proc/bus/input/devices the device is /dev/input/event3
Running lircd manually and running irw in another session, I get:-
# lircd -H devinput -d /dev/input/event3 -n
lircd-0.8.7[24607]: lircd(devinput) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.8.7[24607]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
lircd-0.8.7[24607]: initializing '/dev/input/event3'
But nothing appears in the session running irw.
Using irrecord I get
irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event3 irtest.txt
{snip explanatory text}
Press RETURN to continue.
Hold down an arbitrary button.
irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
irrecord: closing '/dev/input/event3'
I notice that when all irc related code is stopped I see messages like...
cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400: unknown key: key=0x17 down=0
cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400: unknown key: key=0x3d down=1
cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400: unknown key: key=0x3d down=0
cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400: unknown key: key=0x3b down=1
cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400: unknown key: key=0x3b down=0
in /var/log/messages when I press buttons on the remote.
Is something else stealing the data from lirc?
cat /dev/input/event3 gives no output. But the above suggests that the
hardware is working to some extent.
I'm a bit stumped. Any suggestions....
Thanks
Ken
