Post subject:  Remote not Working When Watching Videos
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.

# This file is intended to complement the lircd.conf.mceusb file included with
# lirc 0.8 and above.
#
# Save this file in ~/.mythtv/lircrc

# points as follows.

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:
Code:
begin
   prog = xine
   button = Play
   repeat = 3
   config = Play
end

begin
   prog = xine
   button = Stop
   repeat = 3
   config = Stop
end
