Post subject: | HOWTO: R5.5 on Antec Fusion Black 430 (aka Veris) |
NOTE: the R6 based how to is at: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... 259#126259 I was determined to get the IMON/LCD to work on the Antec Fusion Black 430 and I can now confirm it is possible with the very latest LIRC and LCDd components. This procedure will allow you to have Myth present info on the LCD and for you to use an MCE RC6 based remote with the built in IR sensor. Other remotes may work but I have not tested this. Included here are the steps you require to make it happen and based on feedback from others on optimizing certain steps I will update this. Enjoy! Christ. ============ What you will require: lirc 0.8.4a or higher lcdproc 0.5.2 (or higher) lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch (for lcdproc 0.5.2) check http://codeka.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22 for latest versions. I provide examples of the following files after the instructions. I appologize for quoting the files in line below but I couldn't figure out how to attach them yet these files are critical to your success. /etc/lcdproc/LCDd.conf file (verify /etc/init.d/LCDd has this for config path) /etc/lirc/hardware.conf (maps device, driver, and conf file) /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (maps IMON IR codes for LIRC) /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc (maps lirc tags to myth actions) PREPARING: --------------- move the old lirc_imon.ko out of the way or it will interfere with loading the new one: Code: mv /lib/modules/2.6.23-chw-4/misc/lirc_imon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23-chw-4/misc/lirc_imon.ko.old In part as referenced in the how-to: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=LIRCHowTo Code: cd /usr/src verify sources point to stable and update apt. Code: vi /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update Now get rid of the old stuff: Code: apt-get remove lirc lcdproc Code: m-a update m-a prepare You also need to link the headers to the linux directory: Code: ln -s linux-headers-2.6.23-chw-4 linux Double check that no ".ko" or ".so" files exist for lirc_imon or imonlcd Code: find / -name lirc\_imon\* -print find / -name imonlcd\* -print If you find some, move them out of the way by adding say ".old" to the file name. But the above procedures should have removed anything. LIRC: ------- Get and unpack the latest lirc: Code: cd /usr/src wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc-0.8.4a.tar.bz2 tar jxvf lirc-0.8.4a.tar.bz2 cd lirc-0.8.4a Configure it by executing the following and choose "Driver Configuration" then "USB Devices" then "Soundgraph iMON IR/LCD" Code: ./setup.sh Now make and install: Code: make make install Now you can copy the hardware.conf, lircd.conf, and lircrc files to: Code: /etc/lirc/hardware.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc and modify them as you see fit. LCD PROC: -------------- Obtain the latest files: Code: cd /usr/src wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lcdproc/lcdproc-0.5.2.tar.gz tar -zxvf lcdproc-0.5.2.tar.gz For 0.5.2 you will need a patch for the IMON/LCD Code: wget http://codeka.com/blogs/imon/lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch Now let's build, patch, and install Code: cd lcdproc-0.5.2 patch -p1 < ../lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch aclocal autoconf automake ./configure --enable-drivers=imonlcd make make install Now you will need to modify /etc/lcdproc/LCDd.conf as follows: Under [server], change "Driver" to "imonlcd" Code: Driver=imonlcd and "DriverPath" to "/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/" (or whatever is appropriate for you). Code: DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/ Next, add a section in the driver section called [imonlcd] with the following contents (contrast of 200 worked well for me but adjust to taste): Code: [imonlcd] Device=/dev/lcd0 Contrast=200 Modify /etc/default/LCDd so that: Code: START=yes and /etc/init.d/LCDd so that: Code: DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/$NAME Now modprobe the new lirc module: Code: modprobe lirc_imon Now finally, go into Myth and configure it to use the LCD for rmessages (in the set up menus) Restart your Knoppmyth box and the LCD should light up with the default messages and eventually with the myth information (usually date and time to start). Myth should also respond to any RC6 MCE remote. I happen to do this via my Harmony 880 but it also worked with the MCE remote that came with my PVR500. But to be clear even though you use an RC6 remote the codes provided to LIRC do noth resemble RC6 hence the need for a new lircd.conf.

Cool man, can you post some pics of the little LCD in action? I've seen this before, but never actually seen them working :p |

I'll try when I get a few minutes. I have to get back to some other home priorities before my family thinks I am totally insane. basically though: Power Off: Big clock time which is kept accurate Power On Idle: date on first line, time on second line If you go into Myth general set up you will see a page to enable LCD functions and what Myth can provide. it will give you a good idea. You can see where you are in the menus. When you play something with the internal player it will cycle the video name, director, etc. It also shows you a progress bar so you can see how far into the video you are. I like that last part! The LCD does have the ability to show the file type used but I don't think Myth takes advantage of it yet. A Google search shows a set of screen shots which are similar. My current results are a little different but that may be just me not finding all the levers and switches. http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/ ... ase-1.html |

Here is another link that may be useful (video demo) which I found while looking for something else: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gul8u0xUjg This demo is for the VFD as opposed to the LCD and is similar but the LCD tends to have two lines of information for the media playing and things like the progress bar are more sophisticated than on the VFD. |

Great sum-up -thanks! The original thread at Codeka got so long that I gave up with it. The thing is that I have tried installing by the instructions at Codeka -forums, but I had a nasty problem with my lcd. Well, now that I was encouraged to try it once more (thanks to your sum-up), I found that I still have the same problem. Namely, after unforeseeable amount of time and/or action with the box, my lcd freezes. The only thing that gets the lcd out of 'coma' is removing the power cord from the computer for a few seconds. Sometimes the lcd works for for a day, or two, sometimes it freezes in minutes after the procedure. I have the Fusion Black 430, and the lcd version is ffdc. Quote: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller
Have you had this problem? Do you (or anybody else reading this thread) have any ideas, how I could try to solve the issue? The lcd freeze is affecting the alsa and lirc system so that if I do NOT remove the power cord, I have no sound, or working remote after a reboot. I am not using the ir-receiver of the imon, but the Hauppauge HVR-1300 -attached one. I don't know, how much I am about to fight the issue with R5.5, since I'm about to be moving to R6. This issue might still be a good reason NOT to upgrade, since I will be more helpless with the arch-system... |

Strange indeed. It puzzles me that ALSA would be affected unless sound was connected via USB otherwise I don't know what is common. I have the exact same device ID. I haven't seen lock ups of the display but I don't usually run my front ends 24/7. Are you using lirc 0.8.4a and lcdproc 0.5.2 or did you pull them from cvs per codeka? I found bugs in the cvs version that refused to compile. You could also try 0.8.5pre1 to see if it helps. It is also possible the device is faulty or connection is flakey. I've also seen lcdproc complain about getting too much info at once which may point to a bug in myth itself. I get log entries of "huh? too much data... quiet down!". So you may wish to try and disable all tick boxes on myth to see if it is one of the options affecting it; process of elimination. It is also possible usbhid is interfering and I recall codeka identifying a way to prevent usbhid from trying to own this device. If you are feeling a little adventurous, you do have the code so you could try and insert debug statements to see if you see anything or run some of the tracing tools. I admit it is awkward though if it fails after a long time. But the lcdproc code itself is not complicated so should be reasonably easy to understand. All I can think of off the top of my head. Hope it gives you some ideas. |

Thank you christ! You do have good ideas. To answer your questions, I have lirc 0.8.4a, and lcdproc 0.5.2 installed, precisely according to your instructions I am by no means capable of altering code, though... Yesterday, for a change, I had time to dig into this problem. Remembering the principle KISS (and since it was affecting lirc), I decided to remove the HVR-1300 from the system. Like I mentioned, I was using the Hauppauge remote with the IR-receiver of the HVR-1300 -card. The LCD display has worked flawlessy ever since... Last night, I was watching a previously recorded movie, while recording a new one, the display was rotating record info and time, like expected. The time was still running on it in the morning. So I guess, the lirc_imon and lirc_i2c modules were not working well together (at least lirc_i2c with HVR-1300). I had doubts already, since the remote was not behaving well. The commands went through for a second, followed by a couple of missed hits on the buttons. When the LCD froze, if I did a warm reboot, there was only one lirc device because the frozen LCD was not recognized. Then the HVR lirc device had a different number, than in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, and was not working. I've also got an idea why it was affecting ALSA and I have it documented for myself at home, but I can't remember it right now. All in all, now I seem to have a working LCD but I have no remote I guess I have to undust and try my home-made receiver, if the lirc_i2c would be behaving better with it. Another possibility is to find a MCE R6 -compliant remote and put it to work. The other day, I borrowed one to try it, and the IR -codes seemed to go nicely through. It truly is a shame that Antec did not provide the Imon Pad -remote with the case. I have been very disappointed with the HVR-1300. On paper, it has good features, mainly the s-video in, and a mpeg coder chip. I've been patiently waiting the drivers to mature, but I think this was the last drop. I have to let it go. Luckily, I have two Technisat Airstar 2 -cards, and they are solid. Thanks again christ, I try to remember and come back with my ideas about ALSA. BTW, I've also got a self-made optical-out for the mb. I really am better with soldering-iron than with code.. |

I'm glad to hear this! I thought the remote with HVR-1300 media kit was an MCE remote. http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/product ... mckit.html You'll know better but you may wish to test and see if the IR receiver on the iMon will pick it up anyway. You can use irrecord to verify if it is seeing signals. irw won't be useful unless your conf files are correct. C |

http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/product ... mckit.html Wow, things have evolved... My HVR-1300 is some two and a half years old -it was a brand new product, when I bought it. At that time it was delivered with the silver coloured (dog bone?) remote. I have to ask for that MC Remote Kit, if the price would be reasonable. Thanks for pointing it out! I have tried to read the silver remote with mode2, but nothing gets through. mode2 reads the codes from the MCE Remote, and I think the remote has to use RC6 protocol to work with imon. I also have an OFA (URC-7562) for six devices, but after asking through e-mail, they adviced to teach it -no ready made setups available. I could think of going through the teaching procedure, if I can borrow the MCE again. Anyway, now I've resolved the most bugging problem (LCD freezing), it's a lot easier to get a working remote for the imon. |
