Can anyone explain how an RF remote control integrates with mythtv? Since mythtv uses lirc, it seems like one would need to use an IR remote.
I use a ATI Remote Wonder. It was recognized by FC3 but it was not straightforward to make it work as a lirc device. Here is a list of what I did:
1. # apt-get install lirc-kmdl-$KVER
2. # apt-get install lirc
2. # apt-get install lirc
3. rename /lib/modules/$KVER/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ati_remote.ko to
something else (e.g ati_remote.ko.orig)
4. Add "alias char-major-61
lirc_atiusb" and "alias lirc_dev lirc_atiusb" to modprobe.conf5. # /sbin/chkconfig lircd on
6. Reboot to stop ati_remote.ko and start lircd
7. # chmod 666 /dev/lirc*
8. Either try Litwillers lirc.conf or see if www.lirc.org has a better lirc.conf or create
your own with irrecord.
9. Test it with irw. Remember to kill mythfrontend so that mythfrontend
does not lock the device.
10. Download Litwillers http://www.litwiller.net/mythtv/lircrc.txt to /home/~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
Maybe I also had to create a node for the lirc device with mknod between step 6 and 7.
I sent this list to Jarod Wilson, but he still prefers to link from his FC3/4 guides to Litwillers FC1 guide that is not complete.
