After all the other problems I'm having with this setup*, you'd think I would just give up
Right, with the standard lirc_reconfig.sh for the black remote and the original Hauppauge IR reciever, nothing is set up, so I re run it but using the Silver Remote setting, restarting the front end, but no response.
So having a look at the devices:
Code:
ls -l /dev/li*
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jan 12 16:22 /dev/lircd
root@homenet-pvr1:/home/bruce# mode2 -d /dev/lircd
mode2: error opening /dev/lircd
mode2: No such device or address
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jan 12 16:22 /dev/lircd
root@homenet-pvr1:/home/bruce# mode2 -d /dev/lircd
mode2: error opening /dev/lircd
mode2: No such device or address
Googling, there should be support for the black remote for WinTV Radio and some other Hauppauge products. I find from LinuxQuestions that you need to load the lirc_i2c and lirc_dev drivers, so:
Code:

So that seems to be OK, so trying out mode2 on lirc0 with the Hauppauge Black remote, Hauppauge Silver Remote and a Samsung DVD remote returns nothing, except for an initial
Code:
code: 0x043b
when the app starts up.
So I'm wondering if there is something really wrong with this card
or at least the receiver.
I have a a couple of Hauppauge IR receivers from a Nova-T and PVR350, can these be used with a WinTV Theater (without breaking them of course
)?
Are there any other suggestions to get this to work?
