I have been quite busy this last week or so with work an other things. I plan on attacking this again this weekend. Hope to get it working with minimal head pains.

Let you know as I progress.

I am still not having any luck with anything. The only thing I have been able to accomplish is hosing my system. I need to setup a nightly backup so I don't loose to much when "trying" things.

When I re-upgraded last weekend during the install my recording status LED's did flash as the kernel was setting things up. But after the initial restart things were back to normal, not working.

I have to do some more digging around for answers.

I am at my wits ends over this remote/encoder led's not working. About to give up unless someone else has an idea.

This is what I have done so far for the remote.
1. Removed "Serial Mouse" from xorg.conf
2. Verified dialout for mythtv
3. Found lircrc and lircd.conf for a Tivo Remote and placed lircd.conf in /etc/ and lircrc in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/
4. Set hardware.conf to MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_serial"
5. Added to the end of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
Code:
setserial /dev/ttys) uart none
modprobe lirc_serial
/usr/sbin/lircd

6. Rebooted the machine
7. Started lirc (was not running after the reboot)
-Nothing is working, yet again.
8. started irw to see if any signals were being recieved. -Nothing.

Not sure if any of the below will help but the more info the better I guess.
Code:
root@mythtv:/etc# setserial -g /dev/ttyS*
/dev/ttyS0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3

Code:
root@mythtv:/etc# ls -l /dev/ttyS*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Jun  2 10:24 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jun  2 10:24 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jun  2 10:24 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Jun  2 10:24 /dev/ttyS3

Code:
root@mythtv:/etc# dmesg | grep ttyS
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
00:09: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:0a: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A


If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I am willing to try just about anything.

Also as a side not I am unable to get my recstat to work (/etc/init.d/recstat). This was another thing what was working and now is not. This makes be believe that there is something quite wrong with my serial ports.

Typo? /dev/ttys) should be /dev/ttySX, where X is probably 0 in your case.

That was just a type-o on my part when posting the reply/update. My bootmisc.sh has the '0'

And the capital S instead of the lower-case s?

And the 's' also. It is a capital S0.

Earlier you said:

How did you start it, and how does that differ from the way it should be starting at bootup (via /etc/rc5.d/S20lirc, IIRC)?
What does
Code:
ps -ef | grep lirc
show?

Are the permissions on the /dev/lir* files the same as you posted earlier?

After the reboot. I tried irw to see if the system would respond to the remote. irw refused the connection. So I did a /etc/init.d/lirc restart, tried irw again and the pressed some buttons. Nothing showed in the terminal.

Code:
root@mythtv:/home/mythtv# ps -ef | grep lirc
root      4179     1  0 10:36 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0
root      5469  5467  0 12:42 ttyp1    00:00:00 grep lirc

Nothing seems out of the ordinary to me. Did you switch the cables/connections at any point, or disable the port(s) in the BIOS? I would double-check all the connections and work one issue at a time. Maybe there is a conflict between lirc and recstat?

One step closer to solving all my problems (related to my MythBox that is).

I now have recstat working with my led's. Pretty sure it was a problem with my tuner numbering. My tuners were numbered 3 & 4 (set them up twice). After resetting them up (1 & 2) the led's are working like a champ.

Rebuilt the IR Receiver with new parts on a test board and still no go from lirc.

At least now I don't have the urge to throw the whole thing out the window. Just one step closer to canceling my TiVo.
