I have recently bought a Lenovo labeled Philips-style MCE remote to use with mythtv, but I can't get mythfrontend to respond to it.
If I run irw or "ircat mythtv" I can see that the commands are being received somewhere but why isn't mythtv listening?
I previously used a serial ir receiver and lirc it still trying to listen to it.
Code:
[root@mythtv mythtv]# ps -ef|grep lirc
root 1041 1040 0 Nov27 ? 00:00:00 runsv lircd
root 1079 1041 0 Nov27 ? 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/lircd -r -n -d /dev/lirc0 --output /var/run/lirc/lircd --connect=localhost 8761
root 1909 1 0 Nov27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd -r -d /dev/lirc1 --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid --listen=8761
root 25684 32149 0 14:39 pts/1 00:00:00 grep lirc
Does this matter? If so how can I stop lirc from listening to the serial port?
I've tried to include some relevant debugging info. Is there anything else I should look at?
