Hi:

I've got R5A12 running fairly well with my PVR-150 tuner, So I decided to try to get lirc working
with my PVR-150 silver remote. BTW, I only have about 2 months experience with Linux,
but I'm a Windows technician during the day.

I eventually managed to setup and compile the lirc 0.7.0 source that came with R5A12 without any errors
(at least that I could see). I configured and installed lirc precisely according to Robert.pdx's LIRC HOWTO: exactly:http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4609

However, when I run irw the first time, it just takes me back to the shell prompt. If I type irw again, it gives me:


dmesg | grep lirc yields:


I did a lot of Googling for info, and found almost nothing. The only real suggestion I found was Wrooster's:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1368&highlight=connection+refused
but I don't know if it applies in my situation or not.

So Wrooster, or anyone else: Have any ideas? This is way above my level.


Thanks in advance.

irw is supposed to just take you back to the command line and then listen for key presses on the remote. when you press a key on the remote it spits out info on that key.

Thanks, I know. But when I press the remote keys, lirc doesn't do anything.

I made sure to aim the remote directly at the receiver too.

Hi!

I have the same problem with my PVR150 and its remote with kernel 2.4.27-ctvdr-1.

May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: tveeprom: Hauppauge: model = 26034, rev = C197, serial# = 7703309
May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: tveeprom: tuner = LG PAL (TAPE Series) (idx = 97, type = 55)
May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: tveeprom: tuner fmt = PAL(B/G) PAL(D/K) (eeprom = 0x44, v4l2 = 0x00000e07)
May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: tveeprom: audio_processor = MSP3400C (type = 4)
May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: ivtv: i2c attach [client=tveeprom[32],ok]
May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: ivtv: Tuner Type 55, Tuner formats 0x00000e07, Radio: yes, Model 0x008d1657, Revision 0x00000000

May 14 17:20:26 koehnen-vdr kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61

I'm using lirc-0.7.1pre4, starting lircd with --device=/dev/lircd, but irw and irrecord also don't show any respond.
Do you have a solution jet?
My /var/log/lircd doesn't report errors. So I don't know what I can do now. With WindowsXP the remote works fine. So an hardware issue is excluded.

Dunno about 150, but on my 250, I followed the docs on mythtv.org about LIRC and Hauppauge remote secion. I manually removed all of the traces of lirc, then manually reinstalled it, rebooted and it works great.
