Post subject:  Altered lircrc file not working in MythTv
I altered the lircrc file for my Hauppauge 250 remote. It is the A415-HPG. I am trying to remap certain keys. It isn't finished yet. I just started with the MythTV section. The problem is that when I start the lirc service and then go into MythTV, none of the keys work. If exit MythTV, stop the lirc service, replace the custom file with the original, restart lirc and reenter MythTV, it works again. I have verified, with IRW, that all the keys physically work. I have made sure that the button mappings I use in the lircrc file are using the same names as the lircd.conf file. I have made sure the the owner of the lircrc file is set to mythtv and the permissions are set correct:
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 9181 Aug 20 20:46 lircrc

I am pasting my lircd.conf and my lircrc files. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank you.

How did you edit the file? Lots of folks get into trouble by editing Linux text files from MS-Windows using notepad or the like, which tends to leave a bunch of strange control characters in the file.

If you search around here there is a one line tr or sed filter I posted to clean up issues like this. If you use those as the keywords and me as the author in the search it should come up.

I edited it using Xedit, on the Knoppmyth box. I'll check the filter out.

Ok, it works now. I tried using nano, instead of Xedit. It works now. Unfortunately, what I discovered was that my keyboard was randomly sending spaces to the computer. Does not occur, with same keyboard, on my XP box. I'll have to figure this out, but it's not a priority for me, since the keyboard will be disconnected once the PVR goes live.
