Post subject:  repost help with kworld dvb-t remote
Hi

I am very confused I have a remote that almost works although i dont know why??

When I installed R5A26 my remote started working to a fasion, all the numbers worked as arrows ie 8 is up 4 left 6 right 2 down enter works as select. In an atempt to fix this i looked at the lirc files I found the lircd.conf file which i placed in /etc/. but it didnt seem to make any difference.




Code:

#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.6.6(sa1100) on Sun Feb 23 17:02:27 2003
#
# contributed by Denes Balatoni <pnis at coder.hu>
#   Modified by Daniel Foote <freefoote at dview dot net> to
#     work with remote that came with DVB-T card.
#
# brand: kworld
# model no. of remote control: ?
# devices being controlled by this remote: tv878r tuner card

No lirc seemes to be running but my remote still seemed to work to a fashion.


dosnt matter what i do to lirc my remote keeps partly working. so how do i get lirc going and using my lirc file.

any help would be apreciated

Simon

Ok I have a Jetway / Kworld Dvb-t Card with Remote as mensioned in my previous post I spent a couple of days trying to work out why Lirc was/wasn't working properly to no avail.

The remote seemed to partly work with no lirc running.

I read some posts and found that some remotes seemed to work as keyboards. so to that end i ran showkey from the console and have generated a file that contains the scancodes below

Right now i want to know where to go fron here. I thought of using somthing like loadkeys to remap these as the myth keys but i seem to remember reading someware that this dosnt work in X.

I think ill start there if anyone has any better ideas please post.

I suspect that your DVB card remote is recognised as an input event device thing (like a keyboard)

If you run the command: cat /proc/bus/input/devices

And look for a section like:

Code:
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=0070 Product=9002 Version=0001
N: Name="cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T"
P: Phys=pci-0000:01:06.2/ir0
H: Handlers=kbd event2
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=100fc312 214a802 0 0 0 0 18000 41a8 4801 9e1680 7bb80 0 10000000


The important bit is where it says event2. Paste the whole output as a reply.

you then need to edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

and change the "DEVICE=" line to:

DEVICE="/dev/input/event2"

where event2 is the bit you found out earlier

Reboot, then open an xterm, then run as root: irw
Press some buttons on the remote and it should print out the names of the buttons you pressed :D

will mod the device line when i can get acces to the machine

its attatched to family telly (42" plasma without its own tunner) so have limmited acces to it

i assume that once lirc has controle of it it wont act as a keyboard as well??

Post subject: 
With mine, once lirc has it, it no longer works as a keyboard.

Have you got two cards there? looks like there are 2 IR things listed!

If not you may just have to try event1 & 2 seperately to find which is the right one :)

Let us know how it goes!

Post subject:  Two Cards
Yes I have t cards,

so now i can watch and record at the same time.

i will try over the next few days and let you know at least i will be able to plug the reciever into the oter card and use the few limited keys i have if things go horribly wrong. i think i already have the lirc files for this remote so hopefully I should not be left with too much work to do.

Thanks 4 the help

Edited /etc/lirc/hardware.conf no joy though

irw returns cant attach to socket or somthing like that

tried irrecord with no luck either?

I have noticed when the system boots i get an error message about lirc not being able to load the modules

will try to find the error in the logs
Author:  mad_paddler [ Sat Dec 31, 2005 9:13 am ]
Post subject: 
Ahhh, i think i missed out another change you need to do, also in hardware.conf, you need to change the DRIVER="... line to:

DRIVER="dev/input"

Just incase i've missed something else heres my complete hardware.conf file:

Code:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
START_LIRCMD=false

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="dev/input"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/input/event2"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"

Post subject:  Still no joy
Ok tried that

now dont get an error message as it boots

think error was caused by lirc_gpio in the modules

when i run irw nothing happens :(

if i move the remote reciever into the other card it works slightly like it used to so lirc is grabbing event2

think there must be someting simple ime missing
Author:  mad_paddler [ Sun Jan 01, 2006 2:09 pm ]
Post subject: 
lircd.conf is probably wrong now :S you could try making your own with irrecord?
Author:  simonf [ Sun Jan 01, 2006 3:43 pm ]
Post subject: 
now pulling my hair out

already tried irrecord no joy

i have to stop lirc by killing the process (the keyboard thingy then grabs it)

when i do irrecord then with -d event2

the remote acts as a keyboard input again

and drops out with too long a gap or something dont think event2 is being captured by the keyboard handler

just thought do i need to use both switches

-d event2 -H dev/input

not sure that this requires lirc_gpio but dont know what the switches are for this card

have googled and searched but cant seem to find a solution
Author:  mad_paddler [ Sun Jan 01, 2006 5:44 pm ]
Post subject: 
Ok, to use irrecord, lirc needs to be running i think, so reboot, then run this command as root:

irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event1 lircd.conf

fingers crossed it should work :D
Author:  simonf [ Mon Jan 02, 2006 10:22 am ]
Post subject:  still no joy
still cant get it to go

always the same

cant detect gap

can't find anyone who has got this to go on the net yet there's lirc files available to download


think its time to buy a wirless keyboard instead

thanks for all your help

maybee ill try a mse20005 remote from work

Post subject: 
same problem - finally found this thread and thought i was onto something :-(

I: Bus=0001 Vendor=17de Product=08a6 Version=0001
N: Name="cx88 IR (KWorld/VStream XPert D"
P: Phys=pci-0000:01:06.2/ir0

B: KEY=c0904 100048 0 0 0 0 2018000 180 1 9e0000 7bb80 0 90000002

irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
irrecord: closing '/dev/input/event2'

any ideas?
Author:  simonf [ Mon Mar 06, 2006 1:28 pm ]
Post subject:  sorry no help
I had a few goes at this and finaly gave up, the cards work wonderfully I have two working great.

The remote is a no go though

it works as some sort of keyboard interface but couldnt get it to go..
