Hi, I recently received the ati tv wonder pro remote control edition and I was wondering if these work with knoppmyth. I'm currently using a wintv card and I wanted to know if I'd have to do anything special to get the tv wonder card working. I'd also like to have the remote control working too. Thanks for any help. Just want to get some advice before I start ripping my system apart.

Well, I don't have a TV wonder card so I cannot say if you'll have to so anything special. If the card is support under Linux it should work. You may however have to tell the module what type of card it is... As for the remote, is it supported w/ LIRC? If so, you'll have to recompiled LIRC. In R4, the source is under /usr/src. I could only compile LIRC for one remote at a time and I choose to do so for Hauppauge cards/remotes(as that is what I have). Recompiling isn't difficult, follow the instructions here:
http://lirc.org/html/install.html#compiling

Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried getting the card to work. It seems like its not being recognized and will not seem to work. I think it's because I have the newer TV wonder card. I found something on another site about it having a different chipset so I think I'm outta luck until it gets supported. The remote control is rf not ir. I found drivers online http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=12629 , maybe those would be good to include in a future version Thanks for your help, I'll keep messing around with the TV wonder, if anyone has gotten it to work with myth tv I'd welcome some help.

You're welcome. When I ask for feature requests for R5 you can remind me!

Hi guys,
Some updates, since it looks like using this remote should be possible...
Looking through the mailing list for the GATO drivers (the link that Erik posted), I noticed that the developer had gotten his driver into the cvs version of lirc:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5803153

I went ahead and got cvs:
apt-get install cvs

And did the checkout:

#!/bin/bash
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc

Then did the required machinations:
#!/bin/bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-x --with-driver=atiusb
make && make install

... Then updated my /etc/modutils/lirc:
#Changing this for the ati_usb driver -JP
alias char-major-61 lirc_atiusb

This loaded just fine:
# lsmod
...
lirc_atiusb 5664 0
lirc_dev 8496 1 [lirc_atiusb]
...
usbcore 57376 0 [lirc_atiusb usb-ohci]
...

Looking at the ati website, I got what the buttons on the remote are supposedly for:
ATI's support site

... And I created a lircd.conf file using irrecord:


# Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <lirc@bartelmus.de>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.7.0pre1(atiusb) on Fri Nov 28 16:56:46 2003

This seems to test fine using:
lircd --nodaemon ...and
irw on a different tty

... I'll post more when I have everything else up and running, but I thought you all might find this useful so far.

Enjoy,

Nice! I'll be sure to include what you contribute in R5. Does you motherboard support power on by usb? If so, have you tried using the remote to power up?!

cesman

The remote that came with it is almost certainly just the ati remote wonder. Instead of going through all the trouble of making it work with LIRC you can just modify the driver and then compile.
I mentioned it here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=118

apply the diff I pointed to in that post to get a decently useable remote config. If you want to modify it more just read up on it in the mythtv forums because there are two or three posts regarding how to modify the drivers there. I'm currently using mine with mythtv with the diff no problem.

BTW, cesman said he has already included the driver with the diff in r5.

Chris

Yes, and compiling it under R4 is also easy...
