[mythtv-users] Blasting to STB,using a MCEUSB

[Dave Pearson (Lists)]

Hi Stephen,



Like Greg, I can see all the keypresses in IRW, as you can see:

0000000080010067 00 KEY_UP devinput-32 
0000000080010067 01 KEY_UP devinput-32 
000000008001006c 00 KEY_DOWN devinput-32 
000000008001006c 01 KEY_DOWN devinput-32 
000000008001006a 00 KEY_RIGHT devinput-32 
000000008001006a 01 KEY_RIGHT devinput-32 
0000000080010069 00 KEY_LEFT devinput-32 
0000000080010069 01 KEY_LEFT devinput-32 
0000000080010201 00 KEY_NUMERIC_1 devinput-32 
0000000080010202 00 KEY_NUMERIC_2 devinput-32 
0000000080010202 00 KEY_NUMERIC_2 devinput-32 
0000000080010203 00 KEY_NUMERIC_3 devinput-32 
0000000080010203 01 KEY_NUMERIC_3 devinput-32 
0000000080010160 00 KEY_OK devinput-32 
0000000080010160 01 KEY_OK devinput-32 
0000000080010077 00 KEY_PAUSE devinput-32 
0000000080010077 01 KEY_PAUSE devinput-32




But I cannot get mythtv to respond to any of them. I have put my lircrc file in ~/.mythtv/lircrc, and any number of other suggested locations, but nothing happens in mythfrontend.



Getting irw to see the key presses is a MASSIVE step forward, thanks to your other post and your script, I'm just missing this final step.



Regards,

Dave.

The lirc installation on 18.04 is completely broken.  See my post on
the "Remote control issue after Ubuntu upgrade" thread for how to fix
it.  Then you should be able to use the lirc Python config tools to
configure it, and then you will need to read the documentation about
lirc 10.x on the lirc web site and alter your config files
accordingly.  The config is completely changed at the top level files,
but the bottom level files are still much the same.
