Using the strings that get displayed when using irw as a reference (they are defined by the /etc/lircd.conf file), make sure that your lircrc file has matching strings for each of the buttons and that each of the entries in the file are of the form: begin prog = mythtv button = Right repeat = 2 config = Right end begin prog = mythtv button = Down repeat = 2 config = Down end i.e. make sure that the 'prog' line says mythtv (otherwise it won't get the command), the 'button' line is what comes from /etc/lircd.conf (as displayed by irw) and the 'config' like is what mythtv expects (see http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1) The 'repeat' line (and others you may come across) are all documented in the lirc docs. Note that you can extend the file with commands for mplayer (for videos) and xine (for DVD playing) or even to run programs that know nothing of lirc at all (and comments start with a '#') - I have the power button on my remote mapped... # Mute begin prog = mplayer button = Mute config = mute end # Seek back 10 seconds begin prog = mplayer button = Left repeat = 1 config = seek -10 endbegin prog = xine button = Home config = Menu end begin prog = xine button = Forward repeat = 1 config = SeekRelative+60 end begin prog = irexec button = Power config = /sbin/halt mode = halt flags= once end Cheers -- Robin Gilks _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
