| qwebirc20171 | Hi, 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 ther | 01:18 |

| Patrickdk | oh, your hopelessly behind the times | 01:32 |
| Patrickdk | in 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 external | 01:33 |
| Patrickdk | this should be HUGELY documented, with how much time was passed, I know it got documented well back then | 01:33 |
| Patrickdk | but yes, forget everything you knew about lirc | 01:33 |
| qwebirc20171 | You'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 |
| Patrickdk | I have no idea | 01:39 |
| Patrickdk | I never used an IR remote with myth before | 01:39 |
| Patrickdk | well, not since version 0.15 | 01:39 |
| Patrickdk | since 0.17, I've been using ps3 remotes, bluetooth :) | 01:40 |
| qwebirc20171 | You're way too advanced for me. This has been my MythTV remote for probably close to 10 years : ) | 01:42 |
| qwebirc20171 | Ok, 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 |
| Patrickdk | ya, I just wanted something alittle nicer, and with the newest version, it has tv volume/power on it too :) | 01:43 |
| qwebirc20171 | Well, 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 |
| Patrickdk | ya, I'm all about going through walls/doors/... | 01:45 |
| Patrickdk | bedroom system lives in the closet | 01:45 |
| Patrickdk | and livingroom one lives downstairs | 01:45 |

| qwebirc52720 | I'm having a problem with getting the firmware to load for an hvr-1950. I've copied the .fw files to /lib/firmware but dmesg keeps telling me "Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing" | 13:51 |
