Post subject: | How the LIRC process works in KnoppMyth |
I have been tweaking on my IR remote control (the Hauppauge silver dogbone) setup and believe I understand how the LIRC system works in KnoppMyth. Last night I customized my IR remote buttons (using the NANO text editor) for XINE so it can play dvds like a regular dvd player. Here's my explaination of how the process works. The IR remote sends out a number code when a button is pressed. There is a file called /etc/lirc/lircd.conf which assigns a button name to each key code. Then, there is a file called /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc which assigns a program function call to that button name. So, you push the button (called HOTBUTTON as an example) on the remote and code 1234 is sent. In the lircd.conf file we have a line that assigns the name HOTBUTTON to code 1234. In the lircrc file, we have button HOTBUTTON assigned to perform the PLAY function in XINE. So, in the end of the process you push HOTBUTTON on your remote and XINE will start playing a dvd. ![]() As far as I know, there is no automatic process to help you create the lircd.conf or lircrc files. Also, I don't think there is any graphic user interface to help you assign key presses to specific events. You have to use a text editor like NANO to do all this. ![]() In terms of automating the IR button process, I would LOVE to see a little application that helps you create the config files for LIRC. The application would prompt you for an IR remote button press, ask you what you want to call the button and what you want function that button to perform. Eric |

Code: man irrecord
The rest sounds like a great project for an ambitious newbie looking to give back to the community... ![]() |

Post subject: | how to stop lirc? |
I need to create some custom lirc files for my friend's remote. What is the proper way to stop LIRC so I can run the irrecord program? Should I just type "lircd stop", then read the error message to get the PID of the process and then type "kill XXXX" where xxxx is the process number? |

Code: /etc/init.d/lirc stop

![]() Unless it's easier than I think, I have a gut feeling that such a project is beyond the capabilities of a newbie. Speaking personally, I've got no idea where to start writing a GUI application in Linux. Is there a GUI programming package available - similar to Visual Basic or Visual C? Eric |

I got this error back from IRRECORD: Code: irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions) So, I did the thing I mentioned above: Code: root@mythtv:~# lircd stop
lircd: there seems to already be a lircd process with pid 2448 lircd: otherwise delete stale lockfile /var/run/lircd.pid root@mythtv:~# kill 2448 root@mythtv:~# irrecord /home/eric/test and that worked fine. Eric |

Post subject: | "You have labored to produce." |
Here are the config files I produced for the RCA remote control that comes with the RCA DTC-100 HDTV receiver box. This is a 6 device remote and when you take into account the 6 different modes, there are about 200 different button codes with this remote. I only used the "TV" mode of the remote so there is no remote mode-changing necessary. You will note that some of the program funtions don't have keys assigned to them. They have xxxx for a button name. For me, these program functions weren't important. The arrow buttons were the most important to me, since you can control a huge percentage of KnoppMyth with just the arrows. I hope these files help someone.
