Post subject:  lirc - HELP!!!!
i've read the HOW-TOs. i've searched the forum....i feel i'm making SOME progress, yet when i actually use the remote, nothing happens...when i run irw and

Code:
buffer: -BEGIN-
buffer: -SEND_ONCE Hauppauge 3-
buffer: -SUCCESS-
buffer: -END-


YET, i get the following:
Code:
root@mythtv:/etc/lirc# irsend --device=/dev/lircd SEND_ONCE Hauppauge-STB 3
buffer: -BEGIN-
buffer: -SEND_ONCE Hauppauge-STB 3-
buffer: -ERROR-
irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE hauppauge-stb 3
buffer: -DATA-
buffer: -1-
buffer: -unknown remote: "hauppauge-stb"-
irsend: unknown remote: "hauppauge-stb"
buffer: -END-


i've downloaded the conf files. i think i have everything right....what am i missing??? oh, i'm on a PVR-150 using the hauppauge IR-blaster...the remote doesn't seem to be working at all, in mythTV or even command line (even though it says success).
i'm really new at this (even though i got audio/video working in one night...thanks mostly to these boards!!!!)
anyway, i don't even know if this post makes sense, i've been trying to get this remote working for 4+ hours and i'm lost!
if you need any more info, please let me know!
thanks!!!
steve

Make sure your 2nd instance of lirc has a .conf file with a the remote name matching "Hauppauge-STB".

Per your example, irsend doesn't understand what codes to use as it doesn't have a .conf file with a remote name matching Hauppauge-STB.

Not exactly knowing how things were tested, try replacing the irsend command line with "Hauppauge" instead of "hauppauge-stb".

All this being said, I did not think that anyone had got the IR blaster built into the PVR150 card to work yet. I built a simple IR blaster with an IR LED/resistor/diode connected to the serial port using the following guide:

If you do have success getting the built in IR blaster to work, please post your results.
