I've tried for days to get my remote work in KnoppMyth but i won't.
I have this remote:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Im ... mote-2.jpg
I have tried this guide:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote
...and I've search on the fourm for days.
When I run the command
Code: lsusb I get: Code: Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0403:fc60 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
I think that means that the remote reciver is connected, becaus it disepears when unplugg the cable.
When I try to run the
/usr/local/bin/lirc-reconfig.sh and chose MCEUSB (27) it sas that the remot is't connected (or some thin like that)
Any ideas what I shuld do?
Sorry for my bad english

Thanks 
When I run irw i dont get any message and the same happents when i press any bottoms on the remote. I readed on mythTVs guide that I should get some message when I push anyting on the remote, but I dont.
When I try the command irw agin I get the message connection refuse or some thing like that. Shuld I get any special message?
I tried to install Windows XP on my HTPC. Windows could find my reciver so I think it is connected. I realy dont what to use Windows so I have to fix this problem.
Thanks for the help so fare.

Do not use the script for remote installation.
It installs the wrong drivers.
Copy the mceusb drivers and the config file from a directory somewhere ...share/... usbmce
to the correct directory of lirc...
Do a search on lirc drivers for mceusb and you will find the procedure

Oh?! As I'm busily working on the next release, a direct link to this would be appreciated.

Hey guys. Any progress on getting it working Snouser? This sounds very similar to my problem. I can't find the thread right now cause the search doesn't work. I'll try later.

I think someone else recently recorded a new /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and got this working. Unfortunately they didn't post the file...

Use a x window and type these 2 commands and change lirc as below:
the reboot and all should work fine.
:)
cp /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/mceusb2/etc/lircd.conf /etc/lircd.conf
cp /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/mceusb2/etc/lircrc /home/mythtv/.mythtv/
I also had to change /etc/init.d/lirc
from:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- $LIRCD_ARGS \
to:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd \

I thought I had done these things. However I did not use an X window, or if I did, I did so unknowingly. How do you launch an x window? It is the same as using Putty?

To launch an X terminal (aka xterm) from your MythTV GUI just hit Alt-X on your keyboard, then "su -" to become root. You can also use CTRl-Alt-F1 to flip to another virtual console and login as root ( Alt-F7 to get back to the GUI). Remote access with putty would work just fine too. All you're really after is a "bash shell" session as root so you can enter the commands and all shell sessions are pretty much created equal. The only thing doc forgot is to fix the ownership and permissions...
Code: cp /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/mceusb2/etc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/
cp /usr/local/share/knoppmyth/remotes/mceusb2/etc/lircrc /home/mythtv/.mythtv/
chmod 644 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
chown mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

Ok thanks. Still no beans. When I try
Code: irw as mythtv I get a "connection refused" error. As root I can launch irw after running lircd. However lircd is killed everytime that irw starts up! Any ideas?

When I run
Code: ls /dev/lirc* I get the following: Code: /dev/lirc /dev/lirc1 /dev/lircd /dev/lircm
When I run Code: lircd -n I get the following: Code: lircd-0.8.0pre4-pvr150[6302]: lircd(all) ready
I think the fact the irw is killing lircd is an important one. I did a little searching around and ran into other people that had problems like this. One notable one was the following: http://forum.byopvr.com/dvr/index.php?PHPSESSID=9f6f4052f6a996692dc46a2035705d34&topic=2819.msg14297In the last step it suggests to do the following: Quote: That is one way to fix the problem. Another way is to start lircd using lircd -d /dev/lirc0 I had the same problem and that's how I fixed it. When I tried: Code: lircd -d /dev/lirc1 the same problem occured, with irw killing lircd. Another thing that I am thinking about. Above it was mentioned by doc holywood to Quote: I also had to change /etc/init.d/lirc
from:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- $LIRCD_ARGS \
to:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd \ I was unable to find the line in my lirc file. Here is the contents of my file: Code: #! /bin/sh
