| Post subject: | R5C7 Hauppauge 150 MCE silver remote no workee |
I've been playing around with Knoppmyth for a couple of months and FINALLY got TV to work. between ditching a GREAT ATI AGP card for a PCI Geforce4 and the new release R5C7 I got it all set up pretty easily. It felt great to see live TV after months of messing around. I cannot get my remote to work, however. I've been reading for 2 days in the MythWiki, the KnoppMyth Wiki, IVTV, LIRC and googling my brains out. My problem is that I don't understand what hardware I'm using and how I'm supposed to configure it. I'm using the remote that came with my Hauppauge PVR 150 MCE. I think this is the remote that is commonly referred to as the silver "dogbone" remote but I'm not sure. Its most distinguishing features are a green windows flag in the center of the remote, a logo on the back that says RC6 ir and a sticker inside the battery compartment that reads "MC X 5 44 E" During the install process, when prompted to set up the remote I select 16 for hauppauge and d for the silver remote. when it asks if I have a serial IR blaster, I answer no because the card came with a USB IR receiver. I thought I read somewhere that USB isn't yet supported and I'd have to buy or build a serial IRblaster. Is this the case? I have a female serial to ps2 female converter and a ps2 male to usb female converter. I can daisy chain these things together to plug my ir blaster in to my serial port. Will that work or do I have to bite the bullet and buy/build something? I'm really not sure I have to though. It seems as though the OS has picked up the IR receiver, because when I press buttons on the remote the receiver blinks. It doesn't seem like these keypresses are making it to the applications though, because no button presses do anything in myth. I keep reading that PVR150's should "Just work" out of the box but I'm having a hell of a time. The other thing I was looking in to was finding a good LIRC config file. Since I only ever see references to the "Dogbone" "Silver" or "Grey" remotes I don't know which one to DL and use. I thought about trying to set it up myself, but I don't even know if my keypresses are getting in to the machine in order for me to test my configs. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Plug the USB sensor directly into the box, rerun lirc-reconfig.sh as root, and try MCEUSB or MCEUSB2 if it doesn't autodetect the USB device by itself... The classic "Hauppauge" remote is for the sensor that plugs directly into a non-MCE PVR-[123]50. The USB one is supposed to be MCE compatible. |
