I've got another idea... If you've got a backup that was made before you started changing this stuff you can extract the old files from that... From my own restore_lirc.sh script:
Code:
cd /
tar zxvf /myth/backup/savedfiles.tar.gz ./etc/lirc/lircd.conf ./home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

Dear Mr spalVl

I don't know how I could ever repay you, you have been a great help, I did everything all over again and it works now!!!!, the only thing that I did different is that I removed the first part of the lircrc file, and now it works perfect, it seems that this was the part causing the problem (I think). The following is the part that I removed, which is the part that is supposed to match the information in the lirrc.conf file (I think)

Now everything works really good, the only thing is that my receiver picks up the signals from every remote, if I try to do something with the TV remote it will affect Mythtv, and so on and so forth, do yo know why this is? is this a result of me removing the first part of the lircrc file?

Again thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.

I glad you stuck though it.

I think you were misunderstanding me, when your erred up the lircrc file.

That above excerpt you posted is a lircd.conf file. That should have NOT been in lircrc. I think we had a communication breakdown when I said lircd.conf names had to match exactly lircrc button names.

Out of that file you posted the only specific text entries should match contents of lircrc.

So you see these are your 1st 2 defined buttons in lircd.conf. Mute and Power?

Code:
Mute
Power


They are just names definitions that the lirc Daemon assigns to IR codes it recieves.

Then in lircrc those buttons are defined functions in programs' config (function).

So for example a remote with above 2 buttons lircrc would look like this.

Code:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Mute
repeat = 3
config = |
end

begin
prog = mythtv
button = Power
repeat = 3
config = OK
end



You expand on this and have other buttons do other function in MythTV or other functions in Mplayer, Xine, etc.

Sometimes the internet make it harder to communicate.

O the reciever picking up other signals shouldn't matter UNLESS those signals are defined buttons in lircd.conf which is unlikley.

From what you are telling me, what my error was in that I pasted the file that I found on the web completely onto my lircrc file whithout realizing, that the first part did not belong to it but to the lircd.conf file. Thats where my error was... Regarding the problem with my TV remote interacting with direct tv, it is a big problem because I do not live alone I live with 4 other people and if I set MYthtv to record something and I go to work and in the mean time somebody uses the TV (with its respective remote control) it might affect my recording... For example if I try to lower the volume using me TV's remote it will lower Mythtv's volume and it will type a 666 on the screen (scarry!!!)

Anyway, again thanks alot for helping this total stranger, if there is anything within my reach that I can help you with let me know, same goes to you TJC and all the other that have helped me....

Take care...
