| Post subject: | LIRC working with Zenith MBR-3447 remote |
I recently just got my Zenith remoting working with the homebrew serial receiver I purchased from irblaster.info However I still have a few questions I was hoping you guys could clear up for me. First, I have most of the buttons in my lircd.conf mapped to lircrc but I cannot seem to find which button in the lircrc is for bringing up the schedule. I still have to use the 's' key on my keyboard to bring that up. Could anyone clarify what key I need to map so that I may use a key from my remote to do this? My second question is that the lircd.conf I am using was pulled from http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/zenith/MBR-3447 and this conf only functions in TV mode. This seems to be conflicting with the IR receiver in my TV. For example, when I change the channel myth does respond but my television pops up with a message saying you cannot change channels in S-video mode. It is really not affecting functionality as much as it is annoying. So what my ultimate goal is, is to be able to use the VCR function on the remote to control myth. I hope I am being clear enough with my question please let me know if I can clarify anything further. Any help would be appreciated as you guys have already helped me so much. Thanks alot, Looter |

Nobody? I have pulled the codes for play, ff, rew, and stop buttons from this config: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/zenith/VCR and added them to the one I have working: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/zenith/MBR-3447 The one I have working only has code for some of the buttons though. all the codes are the same but some of the other info is different. I would really like to get some of these other buttons working. Why won't this work? Perhaps some insight as to what some of the other information in these configs is? Like what "eps" and "aeps" is? Or why none of these other remote functions work in irrecord or irw? Someone has to have some insight I"m really stuck here. |

I too have a homebrew serial ir receiver from irblaster.info but I have no idea about your remote. I noticed that those config files where generated with different versions of lirc(not sure if that maters or not) also I had troubles pulling config files from there cause I think some of them where in windows format that linux didn't like. What I found works best is to generate your own codes then you know you got the right ones. As follows for R5F27. as root. Code: /etc/init.d/lirc stop For each remote you want to learn. (I learned every remote in the house while I was at it just cause I could) Code: irrecord --device=/dev/lirc0 remotename put all the remotes into one config file Code: cat remote1 remote2 >> /etc/lirc/lircd.conf restart lirc Code: /etc/init.d/lirc start as mythtv edit /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc to match your remote buttons and needs. Mythtv keymaping can be found /var/www/mythtv-doc/keys.txt. assign any spare button you have to be you "s" key so you can throw your keyboard away. To improve the WAF I added the repeat and delay to some buttons. Now if you hold the button down it will use every second code after a 4 code delay. Code: begin prog = mythtv button = _Left repeat = 2 delay = 4 config = Left end finally for changes to take effect you have to restart X (or reboot) Code: pkill xinit
Hope this helps. Warren |

goof, thanks a million for those commands. They were totally on point. I had tried running irrecord before with no success. I now have the 'cable' function on my remote programed with every button on the remote. Lifesaver man thanks. |
