Ok, so my ~/.lirc/mythtv file looks like this:

begin
     remote = devinput-32
     prog = mythtv
     button = left
     config = left
end 

Etc.

My ~/.lircrc file looks like this:

include ~/.lirc/mythtv

And I can see the key presses in irw

I’ve restarted my front end and it’s still not working - there’s got to be something else, obvious, that I’m just not spotting - any ideas?

(Just noticed, this thread is actually about controlling a set top box, not controlling the frontend, sorry about hijacking it - this should have stayed in the other thread)

Regards,
Dave

I seem to recall Ubuntu's lirc moving it's socket.  There is a setting in the frontend settings:

Settings -> General -> Remote Control -> LIRC daemon socket

Make sure that exists on your system (where it points to).  If not, fix it I guess :)

I have:

[greg at backend-0 ~]$ ll /var/run/lirc/lircd
srw-rw-rw- 1 lirc lirc 0 Oct  3 16:40 /var/run/lirc/lircd
But I seem to remember having to change it from /dev/lirc0 (or somethign similar) not too long ago.

Thanks Greg,

The LIRC Daemon Socket was incorrect, I’ve corrected that setting and mythtv now successfully initialises /var/run/lirc/lircd using /home/dave/.lircrc

Unfortunately it’s still not working.

Regards,
Dave
