Hi all-
My remote control with my PVR-150 was working great when I used the packaged
install (mythtv-suite). Then I decided I wanted to tweak some of the plugin
settings, so I decided to build from source.
I have built from source and got basically everything working like it used to,
but my remote control doesnt work with mythtv anymore.
When I compiled, the ./configure script reported lirc support : yes
I can still run my remote with irw, the messages are received correctly (lircd
is running).
I can also use the remote with irxevent piping the remote commands to mythtv.
However, Id really prefer to get native remote control support in mythtv
so I could use my existing lircrc file.
I searched the archive with nothing pointing directly to my problem.
Thoughts?
Any log files I should post to help the members of this great community to
figure out whats going on?
Eric.
There are some reports that ivtv causes the remote to stop working after a
while. Does it come back for a short period if you reboot? On the ivtv list
there was a patch which basically puts in an IR reset into the code. There are
also patches to do the same with a once a minute cron job. This might not be
your case where you say it works with irw.
That is an interesting idea, but a couple
things: Concerning reboot: it makes no difference. The remote _always_ works with irw and irxevent, but _never_ in mythtv. I did compile ivtv from
source whereas before I was using the pre-built binaries in the package
install, so what you say is possible, but since it works with irw always, I
wouldn’t think the problem is with the driver. Other thoughts? TIA, Eric.
