Post subject:  Nova-T Remote jumping /dev/input locations
My Myth box appears to have a weird problem where the remote randomly changes from /dev/input/event0 to /dev/input/event3 (thus stopping my remote from mostly working - oddly, some buttons such as the numbers and OK still work). I thought I would be smart and change the hardware.conf file to point to /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:02.2--event-ir as this would always link to the correct event but I've noticed that even that path changes from "pci-0000:02:02.2--event-ir" (when the remote is at event0) to "pci-0000:02:02.0--event-ir" (when the remote is at event3).

Anyone know why? Anyone know how to solve the problem?

I've got the same problem but not bothered spending too much time fixing it since i've got a wireless keyboard.

Supposedly you can set up a udev rule or something...

In case anyone searching this forum has the same problem, here is my solution:

Create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ called 10-local.rules

Type into that file the following
Code:
KERNEL=="event?", ATTRS{name}=="cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T", SYMLINK+="remote"


Then either restart the computer or type 'udevtrigger' and you'll then find that /dev/remote will always point to the correct event.

If you have a different type of card, you can find out the human readable name by typing 'udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/input/eventX)' (Note: udevinfo changes certain unsafe characters to _)
