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 wouldnt think the problem is with the driver. Other thoughts? TIA, Eric. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Are you sure it didn't get corrupted/overwritten? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I think my lircrc is in tact, see below: ~ ls -al .lir* lrwxrwxrwx 1 ebrandt ebrandt 28 Oct 12 22:52 .lircrc - /home/ebrandt/.mythtv/lircrc ~ ls -al .mythtv/lir* -rw-rw-r-- 1 ebrandt ebrandt 6310 Oct 21 09:17 .mythtv/lircrc ~ head -n30 .mythtv/lircrc # ~/.mythtv/lircrc # # MythTV native LIRC config file for # the new grey Hauppauge remote # # Modified from Jarod Wilson's which came from Jeff Campbell's # By Brad Templeton # Here we have the jump point commands. They only work if you have # defined function keys for these jump points. For me the most # common command is the menu of recordings, so I put that on videos # even though that's counter-intuitive begin prog = mythtv button = TV repeat = 3 config = F5 end begin prog = mythtv button = Videos repeat = 3 config = F2 end # Not yet defined Begin Any further thoughts?
