My overall goal: to assign jumppoints to various keys on the MCE remote, such as Start Button -> Main Menu, Live TV button -> Watch TV, etc.
I think I've got the basic process down. I think it is as follows:
First, in Myth, I need to set up all my keybindings via Utilities/Settings -> Edit Keys.
Second, I need to edit lircrc, located in /home/mythtv/.mythtv.
When editing lircrc, the names of the buttons for the MCE Remote are listed in lircd.conf, which is located in /etc. These button names go in the "button = " parameter. Then for the "config =" parameter for the button, you put in the keystroke that you want to bind to that key, which was setup firstly in the Edit Keys section.
I noticed that almost all of the keyboard is already mapped. Rather than wade through the million keybindings, I'd rather just use Ctrl + key keybindings for the jumppoints. So I set Ctrl + Home key for Main Menu, and Ctrl + T for Watch TV in the Edit Keys menu. Then in lircrc I added the following:
Code:
begin
prog = irxevent
button = Home
config = Key \Home CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = LiveTV
config = Key \T CurrentWindow
end
According to the documentation for LIRC, the way to send CTRL + Key sequences is to put a backslash in front of the key. That is why the backslashes are there.
However, after I rebooted the PC, and reentered Myth, the new keys don't work! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? My MCE remote came from a Hauppauge PVR-150MCE kit. Also, here's my lircd.conf file:
