As in the title i have a snapstream firefly. I have a question and comment. Some of these things I am only pointing out for possible improvement

When I used the lirc-reconfig.sh script it said it didn't find, the snapstream firefly. However all the configs worked pretty much.

lsusb returns it as a "X10 Wireless Technology, Inc."

The other comment i have is that there are some minor mislabeling in the ~/.lircrc files. Mainly button names don't sync up with the /etc/lircd.conf For example FWD is labled Forward in the user conf file, same thing for rewind. I can make a list if need be there aren't too many just a few.

Now my main question is after editing, the user conf files to my liking, it no longer works, the remote no longer works. After a reboot, restart of /etc/init.d/lirc*, or restart of myth. By edit i mean a pretty much full modification of the original file. Now simply changing things like Forward to FWD, and changing the stop keys con fig doesn't pose a problem.

Running mythfrontend from the terminal, I didn't see anything i found to be outstanding. The remote also doesn't work with either mplayer or xine.

One last thought is that my minor modification is very much along the same lines just not restructured. I restructured the mythtv section to match the button order in /etc/lircd.conf. I also copy the new file to ~/.mythtv/lircrc & ~/.lircrc. Is there any other place i missed?

Code:

begin
prog = mythtv
button = CLOSE
repeat 3
config = esc
end

# Numbers 0-9

begin
prog = mythtv
button = 0
repeat = 3
config = 0

I have made custom lircrc and lircd.conf files for the firefly remote, that work very well. I was using Beyond TV before I got into Myth so I have set the remote up so that it mimics the BTV behavior. Either way all the buttons are now correct, some buttons I have left blank since I dont have a use for them, and others are assigned to certain keyboard keys that I then link to global shortcuts in Myth, (like the firefly button now opens the TV Guide).

email me if you would like my files, if I remember I will post them here as well.

Here is the lircrc file I mentioned. Most buttons are intuitive, the menu button is exit or ESC. All the function keys like photo, tv and such have keyboard keys associated to them just set them up as short cuts in mythtv setup. For example I use the firefly key to open the tv guide. email me if you have any questions. Mplayer commands have also been edited, if you use FF or RW hit the PLAY button to get the play speed back to normal. I do not use xine so I have not made any changes there.

Code:

# ~/.mythtv/lircrc
#
# lircrc file for Snapstream Firefly remote
#
# MythTV native LIRC config file for
# the new grey Hauppauge remote
#
# Modified from Jarod Wilson's which came from Jeff Campbell's
# By Brad Templeton

# Modified 2007 by Josh Butler to match Snapstream Firefly remote buttons to appropriate commands. 

# Here we have the jump point commands.  They only work if you have
# defined function keys for these jump points.  For me the most
# common command is the menu of recordings, so I put that on "videos"
# even though that's counter-intuitive
