I thought I would give the remote another shot with R5A22. The install went fine until my choice of remotes. I use the remote with the model number A415 under the battery cover. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to the color of this model. Some posts refer to it as silver and other refer to it as grey. It appears to be silver to me.....Anyway, I chose the hauppauge option for the silver remote and there was not a config for it. I decided to use the following files for my setup:
/etc/lircd.conf
Code: # # this config file was automatically generated # using lirc-0.7.0(any) on Sun Nov 28 20:25:09 2004 # # contributed by # # brand: Hauppauge 350 # Created: G.J. Werler (The Netherlands) # Project: Mythtv Fedora Pundit-R www.mythtvportal.com # Date: 2004/11/28 # model no. of remote control: Hauppauge A415-HPG # devices being controlled by this remote: PVR-350 #

I made sure the permissions on /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc were set to 777 with the owner mythtv. The symbolic link to lircrc in /home/mythtv is also working fine. I have not made any other configuration changes.
I was thinking of running the install-i586-l script, but wanted to check with the group first. I hit this same wall on the previous version and hoped the loading of lirc on boot would resolve the issue.
End result....No remote. If anyone has any insight on what I may have done wrong in the setup or have the missing step to get this running, please let me know.
By the way...love the install on R5A22...very simple install.

Sigh... 777 BAD. Please don't do that or tell others to do that. Permissions and ownership on that file should be:
Code: root@black2:~# ls -al /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 5779 Sep 10 12:29 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc To set these properly please use the following commands: Code: chown mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc chmod u=rw,go=r /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
BTW - If you'd picked the "grey" remote it should have done this for you without all the fuss, and you can rerun the relevenat command ( lirc-reconfig.sh) at anytime.

Heh...I knew 777 is bad, but I open it up since my box is safely behind a firewall.
Unfortuantely, I have used the lirc-reconfig.sh script to no avail. I've read in several posts that the config for silver will be added at a later date. I wish there was a definitive answer on if this is the silver or grey.
There are sooo many posts now on getting this remote working that it's almost impossible to decern which ones are working. If anyone has this one working, would they mind posing their lircd.conf and lircrc files?

That is the "silver".

So.. rerun the relevant command (lirc-reconfig.sh) for hauppauge gray, then sub in the above PVR350 (silver) config file ?

We really need a wiki page with a guide to remote naming. I thought that the cigar shaped remote was the "silver"...  If this still confuses me then what's a poor newbie to do?

The first time I installed R5A22 I selected silver and got the 'not supported' message. So, the 2nd time I installed I chose grey, and had the A415-HPG (silver) remote working as soon as it was up.
It does need tweaking - the button assignments arent perfect, but thats just a matter of editing lircrc.
the irw command returns perfect button recognition, so I believe this means the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf needs no editing at all...

compdoc,
would you mind posting your lircd.conf and lircrc? If I can give yours a shot, I can narrow my issue down to faulty ir on the card...Thx

my lircd.conf is the original one that comes with R5A22. There's no need to change it, since it works with the silver remote.
my lircrc file isnt finished yet - I just started adjusting it when the remote stopped working. I havent figured out why yet, but I think its because I deleted the original lircrc file and replaced it with a modified one. I think I broke a symbolic link to the file by doing that.
the irw command still sees the buttons being pressed, so its not a hardware problem...
Think I'm going to have to reinstall from scratch once again.

Apparently I as so priviledged that I have what is known as the Hauppage "grey" remote the one with R800-HPG-S in the batery compartment. I use the word priviledged since it seem to work in almoste every part of Mythtv right out of the box.
Earlier i had R5A16 but choose to install R5A22 from scratch. I had success in the first run - great install - have my pvr-350 to run with tv-out on a pal tv and have the danish channels setup fixed. If needed I can post my danish MythTv - pvr-350 - Tvout - danish tv channels Howto.
During install I choose hauppage and the "grey" remote. In MythTV everything works ok. There are som minor glitches though. My major problem is currently lirc navigator. When i choose the MPEG4 in Mythtv i can't get out of it again neither by remote or by keyboard. Since my remote works ok I am hesitating a bit before editing lircrc and other files. So my question is have anybody else had a run at lirc navigator with the "grey" remote and have everything working?

Take a look at the lircrc... Use the power button to quit.

how would you switch in the new pvr350 silver remote config file for the old one?

have the same problem with my avertv dvb 771 remote. I can see the buttons and labels with irw etc, so lircd.conf works fine.
however, strangely enough, whatever I seem to do with the ~/.mythtv/lircrc file, nothing changes in mythfrontend. the buttons are still backwards. I've set the permissions correctly of the lircrc file and updated it to use KP5 as enter, POWER as quit, etc. no fun. I even tried trashing the lircrc file in both root and .mythtv and rebooted, but the remote STILL worked in mythfrontend, albeit wrongly.
what the hell is relaying the commands from lircd.conf if it isn't the lircrc file anymore, like in the previous version of knoppmyth?!
