I have found that the following gets the remote
transmitter to recover reliably
ivtv-ctl --reset-ir
rmmod lirc_i2c
modprobe lirc_i2c
pkill -9 lircd
lircd
This seemed to do the trick for me as well. I have done some more work
on it, it's all detailed here:
http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=19
The summary is that I've hacked the "ivtv-ctl --reset-ir" portion into
the driver when the chip seems to stop responding.
I couldn't get anything out of the windows driver, I played with the
latest hauppauge release for an hour or so, but I couldn't break it. I
got fed up after that, so adopted the hacky route. I really wish it was
possible to get some kind of information out of hauppauge about this.
Any feedback welcome. I could probably backport this into the standard
lirc driver if it seems to work well for people who just want to use the
remote.
Thanks,
Mark
