Fixed this problem - needed the channel number in the "Frequency ID".

Hello all,
Have set up an IR blaster and have put in the scripts required by MythTV to change the channels:
"channel_change" being:
#!/bin/csh echo "changing to $1" /usr/local/bin/channel.pl $1 &
and "channel.pl" being the pl file I copied from http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cache:w3KH302EM2AJ:members.cox.net/rwraithr/IRBlaster_Howto.txt+channel.pl+mythtv&hl=en&lr=lang_en%20target=nw
and running it directly works just fine:
================================== mythtv:/usr/local/bin# channel_change 33 changing to 33 [1] 1341 mythtv:/usr/local/bin# ==================================
but when I enter the command "/usr/local/bin/channel_change" in the "input connections" setup it doesn't work properly. When I run the backend and then the frontend, and try to change channels in mythtv, the backend spits out:
================================== 2005-01-16 15:37:48 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV changing to [1] 1393 /usr/local/bin/irsend: not enough arguments ==================================
It seems that mythtv doesn't insert the channel number along with "/usr/local/bin/channel_change". I even tried putting "/usr/local/bin/channel_change 1" in the "External channel change command" bit, and the exactly same output is shown as above.
Even tried the instructions on http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html with the following script:
#!/bin/sh
REMOTE_NAME=JVC_RAW
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
sleep 0.4 # note, you may have to tweak the interdigit delay up a bit, depending on your DISH receiver model
done
but still no help. Running the script directly works fine, but when using mythtv, it doesn't change. And yes, I've restarted the backend.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks very much for your help in advance
