| Post subject: | R5F27 Hauppage Grey Remote Not Completely Working |
I did auto install of R5F27 on a Dell 4700 Intel P4 3.0Ghz, 512 MB, PVR 350 (using TV out). Everything seems to be working except for the remote. The SELECT, Back/Exit and numbe buttons are working. Other buttons are not working (arrow buttons) or are mis aligned (color buttons). I am using the same channel_change and irblasterd.conf files as R5C7 which worked perfectly. I used mine after the default that were setup after answering to the install question about if I have an IR Blaster and using the Hauppage grey remote. irblasterd was the same and channel_change was alittle different. Did a reboot and it didn't work. I am able execute the channel_change script from xterm and the channel changes. So basically the LED blinked and ir blaster worked. I did the dmesg | grep saa7134 and nothing returned. I also deleted the ir-kbd-i2c.ko driver to make sure. dmesg | grep ttyS returns: serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A I ran irw and all the button commands come out good. Sample output: root@mythtv:/home/mythtv# irw 0000000000001794 00 Up Hauppauge_350 0000000000001795 00 Down Hauppauge_350 0000000000001796 00 Left Hauppauge_350 0000000000001797 00 Right Hauppauge_350 00000000000017a5 00 OK Hauppauge_350 000000000000179f 00 Back/Exit Hauppauge_350 00000000000017b5 00 Play Hauppauge_350 0000000000001781 00 1 Hauppauge_350 0000000000001785 00 5 Hauppauge_350 0000000000001786 00 6 Hauppauge_350 Devices exist: ls -lR /dev/lir* crw-rw---- 1 root video 61, 0 Oct 16 18:25 /dev/lirc0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 61, 1 Oct 16 18:25 /dev/lirc1 srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 16 18:25 /dev/lircd My irblaster LED never blinks? I unplugged and plugged back in and tightened it. Rebooted after each change and still doesn't work. Please help. |

Did you save your lircd.conf and lircrc from your R5C7 upgrade? lircd.conf, contains the configuration you needed to use for your settop box then and lircrc is the remote configuration file you had used there for all of your buttons. Both of those were mentioned in the Hints and Tips by tjc. Also tjc has posted a file here about understanding your lirc remote files. Those could prove helpful. |

thanks for the reply. I did not save the lircd.conf from the R5C7. I have done more troubleshooting...the following command from xterm works (channel automatically changes): Code: /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh 622 which returns the following Code: changing to 622 /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh: line 7: 301: command not found Line 7 is the line starting with $ in my channel_change.sh (listed below): Code: #!/bin/bash [/code]
echo "changing to $1" REMOTE_NAME=301 $(grep ^[[:space:]]*name[[:space:]] /etc/irblaster/irblasterd.conf |awk '{ print $2 }') /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME select sleep 0.3 for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do sleep 0.2 /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit sleep 0.5 done |

Don't know if you followed the backup & upgrade instructions in the R5F27 Hints or not, but if you did, there should be saved copies of those files in your backup... |

I wiped my install and installed R5C7 and backed up /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc. Reinstalled R5F27 and copied these files over and the remote works (all buttons make sense - numbers, volume, etc.). The only problem left which is the big one is that, during live tv, I enter in a channel number - myth frontend gets it and displays the the channel/program info but the channel never changes (dishnetwork receiver never changes channel). I tried the following from ssh and the channel changed: Code: /etc/irblaster/channel_change.sh 622 and it returns: Code: Changing to 622 No more "command not found as mentioned above. I did not unload the driver mentioned in the TIPS because Code: dmesg | grep saa7134 did not return anything.
Please help |

It may be that your lircd.conf is still configured for all codes. That loads something like 40,000 codesets. In this post is my lircd.conf. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight= It is on the second page in there. You would save the lircd.conf in your system as something. I usually put a .orig extension on it, then create one from that post above. That works for Dish 301/311 for sure. Only other thing is make sure the "name" in the top of the file is the same as your call scripts. I think it is change_channel I am not at my system at this time, but I seem to remember that is what you need to ensure is the same. hth. |
