to get it going just hook it up then as root
/etc/init.d/lirc start
use the following config
Code: # Please make this file available to others # by sending it to <lirc@bartelmus.de> # # this config file was automatically generated # using lirc-0.7.1pre2(any) on Sun May 15 15:11:23 2005 # # contributed by Corey Touchet # # brand: Snapstream Firefly # model no. of remote control: R1000 # devices being controlled by this remote: Mythtv #

Note: You see 2 entries for every code. This is becuase it toggles between keypresses so if the above config does not work use irrecord and follow the directions but when it comes to naming and entering keys you must name them twice in a row and be careful to hit the same key the second time around so you get the flipped code. then it's a matter of setting up your .lircrc file to map codes. I'm currently maping out one and I will post a update later. Anyone have a list of keyboard or commands? Could speed up my last step. I would like to see if this could also power on the computer eventually. Code:

did anyone else get this working?
I am trying to get my Firefly to work. But when I say /etc/init.d/lirc start it loads up lirc_i2c ... hauppauge grey default if I am correct.
irw doesn't show Firefly being read.

you need to fire up lircd also
just use lircd --help and you'll see what to use..
lircd driver /path/to/config/file

I really appreciate the configs for the Firefly and Mythtv here. I’ve been trying to get mine to play well with each other for two days with no luck. I think I have the correct versions of all the config files, and I’ve put them into the right places, I think:
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/etc/lirc/lircmd.conf
/home/mythtv/.lircrc
and, for good measure:
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
…but I can’t seem to get it working. I’ve been just trying to re-init the lircd daemon with
/etc/init.d/lirc restart
which appears to operate correctly. But still nothing happens when I press the Firefly’s buttons, either using irw or within Myth itself.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? I’d very much appreciate it.

Note: ~/.lircrc should be symlinked to ~/.mythtv/lircrc.

It is. And I've rebooted, if that makes any difference.
Is this simply a matter of getting all the right configuration files in the correct places, or is there something I need to execute, rather than just edit?

Please? Anyone who actually has a working Firefly remote going with Myth? especially KnoppMyth?
I've found (I think) all the configuration files. I've put them in the right places. I've rebooted. I've restarted the lircd daemon. NOTHING.
On a lark, I fired up irrecord. It asks me to hold down an arbitrary button on the remote, which I did, to which it issued several "." characters in a row. Then it stopped and told me "irrecord: gap not found, can't continue."
I have most of MythTV set up now-- I watch and record, I can rip CD's and DVD's, and it's doing a great job. But I can't get this bloody remote operational, and I know some of you have, so-- please help?

I used to have this working before I switched to the StreamZap.
Try to get irw working.
I think I had to start the daemon with the ati-driver.
However, I would have thought that the latest version of KnoppMyth had all this stuff sorted out and you could use the reconfigure script.
What version of KnoppMyth you using?

I'm using the latest I could find, which was .5A26.
If there's a newer version with out-of-the-box support for the Firefly, I'd love it. I've gotten most other things working pretty well with this release, and it's really frustrating to have such a big piece of the puzzle still non-operational.
When you say, "I think I had to start the daemon with the ati-driver," what exactly do you mean? My head is swimming with all the things I've tried in the last two week sto try to get this thing working, so maybe I missed a commandline option or something.

Got it working! It was nothing extraordinary, just a big error on one of the configuration files I got off the web. Thanks all, for the help. My remote seems so small and light after having to use my wireless keyboard for a couple of weeks.
EDIT:
Actually, it was the configuration at the top of this thread that was the problem! Be sure to replace the remote name of "test3.conf" with the correct name for the Firefly. I'm at work so I don't have the correct name in front of me, but it's something similar to "SNAPSTREAM_FIREFLY_1000" or the like.
