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 [18:25] one of the problems with my remote was that ubuntu's devinput keymap is out of date [18:25] although you onyl see the message for this if you rebuild lirc with debugging on [18:25] don't know what that is.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