Hi,

Does anyone have a updated install howto for the Black CoolCommand that comes with the TV2000XP Expert.

Picture:

With the later kernel versions it gets loaded as a input device.

I have followed the instructions here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.ph ... ontrollers

I know that the data is received cause I can see dots apear, also once I forgot to change the lirc.conf file and keys 2,4,6,8 responed (the cursor focus moved)

However when I try and use irrecord to record my own mappings I get a error:

irrecord: gap not found, can't continue

Any and all help would be appreciated.

I am running the latest version (R5C7)

I pulled my hair out trying to get mine working until I stumbled across this page: http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/tvtuner/ I was getting the exact same behavior that you described.

Basically, the card MUST be autodetected as NTSC or LIRC will not work with the included IR eye that plugs into the Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP Deluxe card. I did try forcing the kernel module to NTSC and that worked 100% for getting the tuner itself working but I still had to modify the BTTV module source code so that it defaulted to NTSC tuner if it was unable to auto-detect the format; the default behavior was to default to PAL.

The relevant portion of the above posted web page is listed under the "Canada Cable" issue section.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Once you get it all running, this may help as well. I am running my Myth box on a 1.4Ghz Applebred Duron and my remote was extremely laggy. I simply created a shell script that runs at boot (runlevel 5) to renice the lirc processes and the remote is nice and zippy now.

#! /bin/bash
renice -5 `ps -A|grep lirc_dev| awk '{print $1}'`
renice -2 `ps -A|grep lircd| awk '{print $1}'`
