If you're using the MCE IR receiver, you have to use the MCE remote. You can get the codes to install into your /etc/lircd.conf by getting this file: http://www.lirc.org/remotes.tar.bz2 and roaming through to find the best match.
In all of my testing I've found that only MCE remotes work with MCE receivers and Hauppauge remotes with Hauppauge cards, unless you can get a universal to impersonate those remotes. - Ian On 11/28/06, David Fishburn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ubuntu Edgy Kernel 2.6.18.1 Ivtv 0.8.1 Lirc lirc-0.8.1pre2 I have been trying to get the remote up and running. I had a different thread attempting to use lirc_i2c: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/33057?search_string=whistle %20sound;#33057 The problem with using lirc_i2c resulted in: [ 44.670400] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 [ 44.681445] lirc_i2c: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found: kernel tainted. I could never modprobe anything. My current attempt is to use lirc_mceusb2. I have seen other people indicate they are using it with success.
