Apparently there are 3 different USB IR/VFD units sold with the DIGN / Uneed / OrigenAE H5 / H7 / HV7 cases (possibly the X11 etc too).

The imon (use lirc_imon), the sasem (use lirc_sasem), and the IR Trans one.

After much misinformation, mine turned out to be the IRTrans one (note the output in proc usb). It's not LIRC compatible, instead you use the drop-in LIRC replacement available from http://www.irtrans.de/.

Also, you need to download the Windows zip to get the remote control definition files (*.rem).

I can post a nice Knoppmyth/Debian friendly RC script if anyone is interested.

Yes, so we can make it easier for others in the future.

Reason I asked was, apparently this particular release of hardware is no longer in production! Nonetheless, I'll tidy up my scripts and post a brief how-to for KnoppMyth users soon some time :-)

Here's some instructions peoples...

1. Download irserver (from irtrans.de, pre-compiled version should be OK) from irtrans.de and copy it to /usr/sbin/irserver.

2. Also download their windows zip, and copy the remote definitions (*.rem) to /usr/share/irtrans/remotes.

3. Create something like the following RC script in /etc/init.d/irserver --
Code:
#! /bin/sh

# IRServer Debian/Knoppmyth RC script
# For IRTrans USB IR/VFD devices
# 27-06-2006 simon@slicmedia.com
# Tested with DIGN Home Theatre USB IR/VFD

case "$1" in
  start)
      echo -n "Starting IRTrans daemon: irserver"
         start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/irserver -- -daemon -learned_only -no_web -logfile /var/log/mythtv/irserver.log /dev/`dmesg | grep "FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached" | grep -o ttyUSB. | head -1`
         echo "."
         ;;
   stop)
      echo -n "Stopping IRTrans daemon: irserver"
         start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/irserver
         echo "."
      ;;
  *)
      echo "Usage: $N {start|stop}" >&2
      exit 1
      ;;
esac

exit 0


4. Disable lircd and enable irserver (it's a lirc-compatible drop-in replacement). Something like --
Code:
update-rc.d -f lirc remove
update-rc.d irserver defaults


5. Reboot, or run /etc/init.d/irserver start.

Now run irw. Press some buttons. If you don't see anything you might need to make a new .rem file for irserver (see their manual).

Otherwise, you just make sure the button definitions in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/.lircrc match what comes up in irw.
