| Post subject: | Remote doesn't work after upgrade to R5F1 (Winfast DTV1000) |
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. Code: May 25 18:07:40 mythtv kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 May 25 18:07:41 mythtv lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[3289]: lircd(all) ready May 25 18:08:26 mythtv lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[3289]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd May 25 18:08:26 mythtv lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[3289]: initializing '/dev/input/event0' May 25 18:08:26 mythtv lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[3289]: unable to open '/dev/input/event0' May 25 18:08:26 mythtv lircd-0.8.1-CVS-pvr150[3289]: caught signal 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 Code: make the modules using the newest version from hg, no modules are actually made!Is there a trick (other than just Code: make && make install ) 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 Code: make[1]: Entering directory `/root/v4l-dvb/v4l' creating symbolic links... make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/build SUBDIRS=/root/v4l-dvb/v4l modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13' Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13' ./scripts/rmmod.pl check found 2 modules make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/v4l-dvb/v4l' but on the older tree it takes more than 5 minutes and makes 191 modules! Code: ...whole lot of output ...
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13' ./scripts/rmmod.pl check found 191 modules make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/v4l-dvb.old/v4l' What's the trick to get the newer version to correctly build? |
