Post subject:  R5E50 CHANNEL_CHANGE.SH
I just finished a new install of R5E50 (not a upgrade)

In the setup I answered yes to serial irblaster on com1
and picked Motorola_DCT2524.

Everything looks ok but when I go to /etc/irblaster there is no channel_change.sh file. Is the path different on R5E50 ?
I would like to setup the external channel change but can't find
the path

Thanks
Dave

Dave,

I am having a similar problem with my RCA based directv receiver. I am trying to use the directv specific perl script and having trouble.

How did you get to the setup where you were asked the irblaster question? I am sure I saw it when I was upgrading to E50 but now I cannot find it.

Thanks,
Kevin

To re-run the irblaster setup, as root:
Code:
irblaster.sh

does the irblaster.sh create the /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh ?

I never found the one in /etc/irblaster so I fell back to my old channel_change.sh program and things went fine.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo "changing to $1"

REMOTE_NAME=SA2200
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
sleep 0.2
/usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
sleep 0.5
done


Of course I had to insert the name of my remote from irblasterd.conf. Also, don't forget to make your script executable.

Code:
chmod +x channel_change.sh

Thanks rsay

That worked
I still have to get a chance to fiddle with the settings to make it change channels correctly

Post subject:  Replaced Cable Box
Hi People,

My cable box was recently replaced with a 2524 and I have a dumb question before I coniture. Are you using a old fashioned 9 pin "Serial" cable with this script or a Serial IR blaster (Serial Cable with a trasmiter on one side)?

The reason I ask, is that I am using the old fashioned serial cable (and I am having trouble getting this to work). I have used the script in the post above, I have changed my remote name to match the file. I have made sure the script is executable. I have gone it to setup and changed it to run /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh and I have tried it without the .sh on the end to. Any help or gerneral direction to go would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Make sure the mythtv user has access to the serial port.
chmod go+wr /dev/ttyS0
