Im having a slight problem with my remote control set up in R5F1. In mythtv for the most part my mceusb2 remote works flawlessly. However when i watch a video (using mplayer) mythtv simply refuses to do anything when i press buttons on my remote control. The lircrc file i am using was from the svn website and i have included it below. Id be very grateful for any help as if i want to pause the vid or rewind im constantly having to get up to use the keyboard.

The reason it is not working is that there are no key instructions for mplayer in your lircrc file. Do a search on mplayer AND lircrc (make sure you chek the "search for all" switch). You will find several examples of other files. I suspect you will find some for your remote (actually your lircd.conf file).

Is that the entire file? You have no entries for mplayer (or anything but mythtv, for that matter). A snippet from my lircrc file, I use Xine instead of mplayer:

Thanks guys, cant believe i missed that. Did a search on the net a found a suitably useful lirc file to use.
