I have setup a homebrew ir reciever and completed the lircrc file and lircd.conf and nothing works with myth.
I have also made sure that the hardware.conf file is correct.
I have ran irw and it works as it is supposed to.
I have used mode2 and it also spits out code.
For some reason it works as lirc, but nothing when it comes to knoppmyth.
Anyone else seen this. I have tried everything.
Please help

I've got the same setup working with R5E50. I had the remote working fine in the previous 2 releases of Knoppmyth and then after my upgrade to R5E50, it stopped. I think it was because I restored a system file I shouldn't have during the upgrade.
Are you doing a new install from a blank hard drive or an upgrade? That will determine what direction to send you.
During my fix process, several KnoppMyth gurus gave me ideas to try to troubleshoot the problems. You can try them too. You can read my saga of getting it fixed in this thread:

If mode2 is working OK, irw is returning the labels for your remote and you've set up your hardware .conf file, it sounds like some kind mismatch between your /etc/lircd.conf and your /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc.
For instance, from my system, some key definitions from lircd.conf: Code: OK 0x001C
Back 0x00AE
Menu 0x008B
VolumeUp 0x0073
VolumeDown 0x0072 and from lircrc: Code: begin
prog = mythtv
# Middle button on the diamond
button = OK
config = Return
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Back
config = Esc
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = Menu
config = M
end
begin
prog = mythtv
button = VolumeUp
repeat = 3
config = F11
end
begin
prog = mythtv
# Use it as a volume key
button = VolumeDown
repeat = 3
config = F10
end
These, of course, are not the full files.

You and me both. And I even got a Tier1 streamzap remote just for this.
I think I'm going to pull the hard drive tonight and put a new one in and try Mythdora at this point.

I tried mythdora and had issues with sound and I use a pchdtv5500 and it would not allow me to use both analog and hd. This is driving me crazy too. Mythdora has a better GUI though. I really tried to get that to work too.

If irw is working with no arguments and seeing all the button presses, then mythfrontend really ought to be working. Check your settings table and make sure that LircKeyPressedApp is not set (i.e is empty). Are you restarting the frontend after making changes and restarting the lircd daemon? If you do:
Code: tail -f /var/log/syslog while restarting the frontend do you see messages like this? Code: Jan 27 11:12:07 black2 lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[2836]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
You should also see a message like that when you start up irw...
OBTW - If you've edited either of those files from MS-Windows it can do bad things to them. You may need to filter extra whitespace characters (especially CR, VT, and SUB) out of them before they're usable. I posted a bit of shell script to do that quite a while back...

I got it to work!
Basically because of the myth database errors I was getting, I figured might as well reinstall.
And it worked.
The only thing I can think of is that I had installed Myth originally with the PVR-150 MCE remote.
I'm not sure why the reconfig script does not properly set things up?
Or for some really odd and bizarre reason you have to have the Streamzap connected at the time you INSTALL Myth?
But that seems to have fixed it.
But not sure how will this bodes if I need to ever change it again and re-run the config script.

Thanks everyone. I really dont want to re-install everything as I have QAM channels.conf and so many other things that took me weeks to do. I may have to just go ahead and do this though. I thought that I chose the 6-in-1 remote which should be homebrew serial, but that was some time ago. Thanks again everyone, I will keep trying.

That's one thing I've been trying to get from eveyone is how to backup the channels.conf
It seems that once you scan for channels it goes into the database, so I have no idea how to then export that information into JUST a channels.conf file

I think that the contents of the channel, dtv_multiplex, and dtv_privatetypes tables should do it, but that's just a SWAG.

I have the same problem with the homebrew ir reciever on the com1-port
, but after reading this post i can fix the problem.
I my case the problem is a bad file "lircr" in /home/mythtv/.mythtv
In the past I use the WinSCP-program on a WinXP-client to view/edit the files - maybe i get same
file corruptions.
The error shows in the line "removed client" after starting the mythfronted
in /var/log/syslog
Jan 30 19:25:40 v4fe1 lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[2729]: removed client
Jan 30 19:26:46 v4fe1 lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[2729]: caught signal
Jan 30 19:26:51 v4fe1 lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[2747]: lircd(all) ready
Jan 30 19:32:15 v4fe1 lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[2747]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jan 30 19:32:15 v4fe1 lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[2747]: removed client
The irw and irrecord running fine - but the frontend cannot use the ir-port.
The main point for use the knoppmyth R5E50 with the homebrew-ir on com1-port in a frontend-only
installation, is
1) to select the option 34)rca-6n1 in the lirc-reconfig.sh
2) copy your lircd.conf for you hardware modell to /etc/lirc/
3) make sure, that the key names in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircr are the same (Case Sensitive)
4) NO kernel compilation need, the lirc_serial is in R5E50 already included

Hi,
I found that the file lircrc in the directory of R5E50
/usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/rca-6n1/etc
have a DOS format, thats why the frontend CANNOT USE this file!
If i open the file in nano editor i get a message
Read 440 lines (Converted from DOS format).
Thats why the /usr/local/bin# lirc-reconfig.sh for a homebrew ir on com1 NOT work.
The fix is to use a different file and edit this file for you ir-hardware.

I used irrecord to make the lircd.conf file. so there was not any dos problems. believe me I wish it was. I cannot figure this out. Oh and i tried to install a fresh copy and it did not work either, so this rules out if i picked the 6-in-1 in the begining. Well i have web remote for now.
