Hi all,

I've just upgraded from R5E50 to R5F1. Everything went smoothly (despite getting a scary audio saying "restore failed").

However, I'm now trying to get my remote control to work again. This was a bit of a pain under R5E50, so I wrote up this howto which listed the changes that had to be made to the v4l-dvb source code to get the remote working.

However, this didn't do the trick for R5F1. I downloaded the most up-to-date version of the v4l-dvb source, patched and compiled. However, no luck - no /dev/input/eventX!

From what I can tell, E50 and F1 both have the same kernel version, so that shouldn't be the issue and modules are compiling correctly.

In /var/log/syslog, I just found some interesting lines.



Is unable to open '/dev/input/event0' possibly the cause of the issue - if so, what can I do so that lircd can open the device?

Solved!

But it's a bit weird.

I downloaded an old snapshot of the v4l-dvb code http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/snapsh ... 209.tar.gz, patched it as before and it all worked.

Howevever, there was a big difference between making the old an new code. It appears to me that when I the modules using the newest version from hg, no modules are actually made!

Is there a trick (other than just ) for building the newest revision of v4l-dvb?

And what does your /var/log/restore.log say? Does it match the results in this thread? http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15246

Yep - it's the same error.

Everything appears to work okay - so your conclusions on that thread seem to be spot on (though a work around for the error message would be nice!).

Have you any idea why I "make" doesn't work for the newest v4l-dvb tree?

With the newest tree, when I run "make" it takes about 5 seconds and the output is

but on the older tree it takes more than 5 minutes and makes 191 modules!


What's the trick to get the newer version to correctly build?
