qwebirc20171Hi, I recently installed Mythbuntu 12.04 after having been on 9.10. I have a Hauppage Grey remote and IR receiver attached to a PVR 250. I'm totally confused by what's happened to support for remotes in Mythbuntu now. Do I need to use LIRC, or has support for the PVR250 IR receiver been built into the kernel? (FWIW, LIRC errors out when loading and I've spent a few hours trying to fix with no luck, so I'm hoping that ther01:18
Patrickdkoh, your hopelessly behind the times01:32
Patrickdkin 10.04, (kernel 2.6.32, but I think it happened in 2.6.30?) support for IR receivers was moved INTO the kernel, instead of external01:33
Patrickdkthis should be HUGELY documented, with how much time was passed, I know it got documented well back then01:33
Patrickdkbut yes, forget everything you knew about lirc01:33
qwebirc20171You're right - I'm hopelessly behind the times : ) So does that mean that in the Mythbuntu Control Center I should just choose the "No additional remote support" option for the PVR250 IR receiver? I think the option to choose LIRC and the Hauppage remote in Control Center may have led me down the wrong path...01:39
PatrickdkI have no idea01:39
PatrickdkI never used an IR remote with myth before01:39
Patrickdkwell, not since version 0.1501:39
Patrickdksince 0.17, I've been using ps3 remotes, bluetooth :)01:40
qwebirc20171You're way too advanced for me. This has been my MythTV remote for probably close to 10 years : )01:42
qwebirc20171Ok, I'm off to google threads on 10.04 and the hauppage remote - that should get me what I need. Thanks for the help!01:43
Patrickdkya, I just wanted something alittle nicer, and with the newest version, it has tv volume/power on it too :)01:43
qwebirc20171Well, hopefully I can get by without upgrading my remote, but I suppose if I have to at least I'll get some cool new tricks with it.01:44
Patrickdkya, I'm all about going through walls/doors/...01:45
