still an idiot, that should have read:

Had the lirc remote calls in the left hand one and the vdr commands to 
call in the right.

Re: [vdr] Xineliboutput and Lirc forwarding

err yeah, I'm an idiot.

I got the two columns the wrong way around in the remote.conf. Had the 
lirc remote calls in the left hand one and the vdr commands to call in 
the left.

Once I sorted that out I got confused that for every key press I made it 
did two. That I realised was because whilst vdr-sxfe was passing the 
lirc command, vdr was also capturing it from /dev/lircd itself.

I solved this by starting vdr with --lirc=/dev/null if anyone knows a 
better way let me know but it works so I'm happy.

Cheers,

[vdr] Xineliboutput and Lirc forwarding

[Alex Stansfield]

Hi,

I've recently decided to try xineliboutput over my usual choice of xine 
plugin.

So far I've pretty happy with it but can't for the life of me get the 
lirc forwarding to work.

Lirc is installed, the controller is setup and tested to work (it's an 
mceusb2).

Vdr is compiled with lirc support, when I start it the lircd reports 
that a client connected to the device.

I copied the example remote.conf from xineliboutput to vdr's config 
directory.

When I start vdr-sxfe with --lirc and --verbose it starts and shows me 
the tv.

When I click 'up' on the remote (which is one of the buttons configured 
in the example remote.conf) VDR does nothing, a look at the console 
shows that vdr-sxfe caught the lirc call and dealt with it. It seems 
it's not getting to vdr. It's the same with any button I press, whether 
it's in remote.conf or not.

The keyboard (also configured in the remote.conf example) works fine and 
I can control VDR perfectly with it.

Have I missed a step? The instructions regarding the use of lirc with 
xineliboutput were pretty short.

Any help greatfully appreciated. Let me know if you need me to provide 
any config files, etc.

Cheers,

Alex
