I've been trying really really hard to get a TiVo remote working with MythTV - so hard in fact that Google has blocked my IP address because they think I'm launching a DOS attack!
What I've done so far: Installed R5A16 successfully Played a test video that I downloaded Used an ATI Remote Wonder that came with an old 9700 AIW card Bought and hooked up a homebrew IR receiver to my serial port (from http://www.irblaster.info/receiver.html) Read countless threads on mysettopbox.tv and other sites looking for information on this that would apply to me. Renamed the TIVO file to lircd.conf in /etc/lirc Ran lirc-reconfig.sh (not sure I answered the questions correctly) What I don't understand: Does LIRC run automatically on a standard install? - if I type lircd from a prompt it appears to start, if I do it again I get an error that it's already running Do I have to recompile LIRC for the TiVo remote to work? I was hoping not, but I think I read that somewhere along the way. I saw a page on the wiki about doing this but it looks pretty daunting and hard to follow. How can I tell if my serial port is working and do some basic tests of this device? A whole bunch of things... I'm a computer pro with 20 years experience but a Linux n00b. I've got a pretty good understanding of Linux conceptually but have never compiled any programs with it or done much more than some superficial things. I've probably spent 5 hours trying to figure this out on my own using the mantra "Google is your friend", but am still coming up short. Thanks in advance for any help!
