Post subject:  hauppauge remote not working

I'm having a tough time getting my Hauppauge remote working. It's the PVR150 silver blaster remote. Was working before upgrading to linHES 8- any thoughts on where to start?

Thanks!

Is lirc running? Is it able to receive signals from the remote? For inspiration: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lirc

Lirc seems to be running:

Code:
ps -ef |grep lirc
root      2364   562  0 11:49 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd -r -n -d --output /var/run/lirc/lircd
root      2387  2112  0 11:49 pts/2    00:00:00 grep lirc


No signals seen when running
Code:
irw


The link you cite seems to be different lire than what's rolled up with LinHES. For example, systemctl is used to start/stop lirc in the link. That command is not on the LinHES system. Also some of the config files in the link do not match locations in LinHES. Perhaps a different version of lirc is being used and a different system to start services?


Here's some log that seems to indicate it's not even getting the config file, not able to open the device (there's no /dev/lirc0 BTW) and the hardware is not initializing.
Code:

Sep  3 11:49:41 meierjo_linhes lircd: WARNING: Failed to initialize hardware

Anyone know how LinHES fires off Lirc upon boot? I'll start with that script and see where it get me.....

Great reading, but in the end, I gave up using the Hauppauge blaster/remote and dusted off a MCE remote/blaster that i had laying around.

Got it to change channels on my STB/Digital Adaptor using the following:

I think dropping the hauppauge remote was a good idea.

In general hauppauge remotes are unmaintained with LinHES 8+. To my knowledge none of the devs use them or have the capacity to test them.
