| frankster | got a wierd issue with a remote. evtest and keytable -t work. yet irw and mythtv don't work. lirc conf file has the exact key events that I see in evtest or keytable -t yet nothing comes through. if lirc is running, evtest complains about something locking the device, and when I stop lirc then evteest doesnt complain aany more so I know that lirc is listening to the right device. | 08:22 |
|---|---|---|
| frankster | any thoughts why irw doesn't show anything? | 08:23 |
| SteveGoodey | frankster: This of any use? http://linhes.org/projects/linhes/wiki/Architecture_and_Customization | 09:22 |
| Zinn | [linhes.org] LinHES - Architecture and Customization | 09:22 |
| frankster | SteveGoody: thanks for that. i'll work my way through it | 14:16 |
| frankster | SteveGoodey: no joy with that, i'm gonna have to debug lircd | 16:27 |
| SteveGoodey | frankster: Sorry about that, good luck. | 16:27 |
| innatech | speaking of lircd, my windows remote stopped working after upgrading to 12.04. Haven't looked into it yet. | 17:06 |
| frankster | innatech: mceusb remote? | 18:24 |
| innatech | yep. | 18:24 |
| frankster | does it use rc-6 protocol? | 18:24 |
| frankster | one of the problems with my remote was that ubuntu's devinput keymap is out of date | 18:25 |
| frankster | although you onyl see the message for this if you rebuild lirc with debugging on | 18:25 |
| innatech | don't know what that is. | 18:25 |
| innatech | it's a generic mediagate mce remote, IR w/a usb receiver. | 18:25 |
| frankster | one thing I had to do was download http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput | 18:26 |
| Zinn | [lirc.sourceforge.net] N/A | 18:26 |
| frankster | and replace the one provided by ubuntu | 18:26 |
| innatech | 'k. | 18:27 |
| frankster | also i found that at least some of the time, lirc seemed to change the protocol on the remote (ir-keytable -r shows you) so that it onyl had the lirc protocol. but in fact I needed to have rc6 protocol | 18:27 |
| innatech | I don't have a file by that name in /etc/lirc, just lircd.conf itself, which is blank but for an include of /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb | 18:39 |
| innatech | oh, I think I get it. | 18:40 |
| innatech | One sec. | 18:40 |
| innatech | ok, I replaced that file and reloaded lirc but no joy. | 18:43 |
| innatech | So...is there some reason my HDHR won't stop streaming to my backend, even when its not being watched? | 19:04 |
| innatech | It | 19:04 |
| innatech | never stops sending out data at about 38kib/s | 19:04 |
| innatech | Googling suggests this is the backend scanning for EIT info? But I have this disabled. | 19:05 |
| innatech | ah, toggling the setting did the trick. | 19:08 |
| innatech | also, is there a metadata format I can use in sickbeard that Mythvideo will understand when it scans folders deposited in its hierarchy? | 19:19 |
| innatech | XBMC's? | 19:19 |
| frankster | ah ok you're using it slightly differntly to me | 19:21 |
| frankster | you've got mceusb drive | 19:21 |
| frankster | but mine is via linux inpuit layer | 19:21 |
| frankster | so your /usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb might not need replacinmg | 19:21 |
| innatech | I didn't replace that, I replaced the devmap in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/ or whatever | 19:22 |
| innatech | rather /usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput | 19:23 |
| frankster | ah ok | 19:24 |
| innatech | should I replace the included conf as well? | 19:24 |
| frankster | well the way you have it configured it wont use that file | 19:24 |
| innatech | ah. | 19:24 |
| frankster | well you've configured lirc (presumably correctly) to use the mceusb driver rather than the input layer | 19:24 |
| frankster | so your situation is a bit different to mine | 19:24 |
| innatech | I'm doing what ever the mythbuntu control center did for me. | 19:25 |
| frankster | you probably selected mceusb in that when you chose the remote | 19:25 |
| innatech | yes. | 19:25 |
| frankster | if you had it working like that before 12.04 then I assume thats correct | 19:25 |
| innatech | yep. | 19:25 |
| frankster | sorry i cant help :) | 19:26 |
| innatech | that's OK. And for the record it's set to "Window Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)" | 19:26 |
| innatech | which seems pretty clear. | 19:26 |
| SteveGoodey | innatech: You might want to try mythtv-users. | 19:28 |
| innatech | I could. The people there usually label problems like this distro-specific tho. | 19:29 |
| SteveGoodey | They're normally pretty helpfull. | 19:31 |
| innatech | Yeah, I'll try. | 19:31 |
| innatech | Where do I alter the runtime options of lircd? In /etc/init.d/ ? | 19:32 |
| frankster | do you mean arguments? | 19:34 |
| innatech | yep. | 19:34 |
| innatech | found it. | 19:35 |
| frankster | there is a setting in /etc/lirc/lirc/hardware./conf | 19:35 |
| frankster | I mean /etc/lirc/hardware.conf | 19:35 |
| innatech | huh. "ls /etc/lir*" shows /etc/lircd.conf but I cant list the individual file or stat it. | 19:38 |
| innatech | stat: cannot stat `lircd.conf': No such file or directory | 19:39 |
| innatech | nm, I'm stupid bash mistake. | 19:40 |
| innatech | same as this unanswered question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/166812/after-upgrading-to-12-04-from-10-10-my-mythbuntu-standard-mceusb-remote-no-longe | 19:43 |
| Zinn | [askubuntu.com] After upgrading to 12.04 from 10.10 my mythbuntu standard MCEUSB remote no longer works - Ask Ubuntu | 19:43 |
| innatech | I'll duplicate the irw test. | 19:43 |
| innatech | yeah, it's receiving the keycodes fine | 19:45 |
| innatech | mythfrontend is just ignoring them | 19:46 |
| innatech | and nothing shows in the frontend log. | 19:46 |
| innatech | that does seem like a question for myth-users. | 19:51 |
| frankster | is your lirc mapping setup>? | 20:10 |
| frankster | mythbuntu-lirc-generator or something like that | 20:10 |
| innatech | yeah, that's what reapplying the dynamic mapping setting did. | 20:26 |
| innatech | the upgrade dance apparently wipes the old one, and reactivates LIRC post upgrade without regenerating it. | 20:27 |
