I just installed R5D1, and everything looks great. The only thing I cannot get working is irblaster. I use a homebrew irblaster from iguana.net on the first com port, with a one-for-all universal remote. I captured the codes for my satellite box and for an unused vcr funtion on the remote that I plan to use to control mythtv. channel_change.sh and irw works fine, but nothing happens in mythtv.
I truncated /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc to the following to make sure nothing in it is corrupt:
Code:
begin
  prog = mythtv
  remote = VCR
  button = up
  config = Up
end

begin
  prog = mythtv
  remote = VCR
  button = down
  config = Down
end

begin
  prog = mythtv
  remote = VCR
  button = left
  config = Left
end

begin
  prog = mythtv
  remote = VCR
  button = right
  config = Right
end
all of which matches irblasterd.conf exactly.

When I try
Code:
ircat mythtv
or
Code:
irexec -n mythtv
I get:
Code:
mythtv: Connection refused
mythtv: Cannot connect to socket

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just an update as to what I have done further.

I figured out that I can get either the remote control in myth working or the channel_change.sh, but not both at the same time.
I do this by either enabling or disabling the main lirc device in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf with the following:
Code:
DRIVER="default"
or
Code:
DRIVER="null"
When it is set to default, the remote works in mythtv, when it is null, the irblaster works.

I also noticed in daemon.log that a lirc module with pvr150 in its title is being used. I could not figure out yet how to get the normal serial module to be used instead of that one, or even if that is a problem or not.
