IR remote control via lircd did not work anymore (it did correctly on mythtv 0.16).
I'm running FC3 updated to kernel 2.6.10-1.760_FC and using lirc-0.7.0-43.1.rhfc3.at.
AN IR test with the Hauppauge IR remote control with irw command on lircd worked fine.
How did I solve this IR problem with myth-017 package?
The IR remote control is working again and this is what I did:
Downloaded the myth-0.17 tar ball. Used ./configure and compiled it (see the instructions how to
compile in the mythtv-0.17/docs directory) it.
The trick: enable (default it is commented out) lirc client support in the settings.pro:
# Native lirc support
CONFIG += using_lirc
LIRC_LIBS = -llirc_client
Made sure that /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so was pointing to liblirc_client.so.0 (it was not in my case)
Made sure that /usr/local/include/lirc/lirc_client.h existed (it was not so I stole it from the lirc distribution
tar ball from lirc.org).
And started compilation with make ; make install (reminder now everything is in /usr/local !)
You have now waiting time enough for half an hour to drink some beer....
Made sure /etc/init.d/mythbackend uses /usr/local/sbin/mythbackend (service mythbackend restart).
Started mythfrontend and could use my Hauppauge IR remote again.
My guess is that in the myth-suite apt-get package mythtv is not compiled with lircd enabled or
the lirc_client share lib liblirc_client.so was not p[resent in /usr/lib so mythfrontend could
not use /dev/lircd access.
