Lirc: U/Mythbuntu 8.10 + Hauppauge PVR 150 RC6 USB SMK eHOME Transceiver

[darkjz]

Greetings:

I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and MythBuntu on top of it in my media center pc. So far everything works except the remote control. I have a Hauppauge PVR-150, with a Media Center Remote Control (Gray/Silver Ish Color with light gray keys).

I have tried setting up the Lirc System with the "Mythbuntu Control Center" as well as custom lircd.conf files that i've found searching on the net. So far, no success, I've tried checking if the remote does any effect on MythTV and in XBMC, as well as in the IRW command (which does not return anything at all).

The only way I have of knowing that the system is actually registering a command is because I get some output when I press a remote key with the following command:
sudo cat /dev/lirc0

Here's my system info:

Do you guys have any other idea of what can I do to make it work? I'm kinda desperate since i've been trying for a week already.

Thanks in advance!!!

These instructions are all for the PVR-150 MCE KIT which includes the remote, SMK USB dongle, 1 - emitter and the red, white, yellow rca and one svideo input on the actual pvr-150 card.

Can you find and post a link to a picture of the remote you are referring. Is it the one, with SMK USB Dongle and the M$ style remote control with the black back and no color keys. If it is then

sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb2

You need to set your remote to MCE new version et all for both transmitter and remote. then you can copy this file into your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf make sure and back up your old one first and then edit the hardware.conf file and change the remote lircd location to /etc/lircd.conf and if there is an address in the remote lircd location in the transmitter section remove it so that it just ieft with the quotes like so ""

The modules you should be loading are

modeules = "lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
Device = /dev/lirc0

output from ls -l /dev/lirc* should be

/dev/lirc0
/dev/lircd

output from lsmod | grep lirc should be

lirc_mceusb2
lirc/dev
the third line you should see a bunch of modules and it will include these as well.

dmesg | grep -i lirc

should tell you it is loading your usb module as 1st philips ehome transceiver and then a little further down it should say loading SMK and then registering interface and lirc_mceusb2 as well. This is not exact but you get the picure.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your response Dave (rodercot). I modified the hardware.conf file to load lirc_mceusb2 (it previously stated lirc_pvr150), and after resbooting I verfied all the outputs you mentioned and they were correct (modules, ls of /dev, etc) also applied your lircd.conf file.

However, the problem remains the same ](*,) ... when I type the irw command and press buttons from my remote, it does not do anything at all. I know the remote is sending commands because my Xbox360 is right next to the IR Receiver and the xbox responds to the commands (as well as the IR Receiver turns on a nice little red led when he sees any IR Commands).

I have have attached an image of the product of this nightmare.

Any other suggestions? Anything at all will be appreciated.

Regards,


Raul (DarkJZ)

Edit: By the way! I forgot to mention! I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 x64 Bits and installed via Synaptic MythBuntu-Desktop and lirc.

[rodercot]

can you post this for me.

/etc/lirc/hardware.conf
lirc --version
dmesg | grep -i lirc
lsmod | grep lirc



I hope that the version you are running is not affected by the way we are setting this up. I looked through my lirc sources and I do not even have a lirc_pvr150, but I am pretty sure that driver may be unique anyhow.

Once you post those I will have a better idea.

Here is another lircd files you can try. with this one I have combined the generic mceusb file and dish general conf in one. This is the default that lirc sets up for a mceusb remote. if this does not work then an irrecord is likely the easiest way to get it going. using this lircd then you need to edit the trasmitters section of the hardware.conf file. to read

name = custom
modules = lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2
device = ""
driver = ""
lircd = ""

# Each has been implemented in this config file with the remote names "dish#"
# where the hash/pound/number sign ("#") is a code number from 1 through 16.
# There is also a remote called "dish" (without a number), for users with only
# one receiver, that uses remote code 1 (DISH's default).
#
# The duty_cycle (the percentage of time during a pulse that infrared light is
# being sent) is commented because some hardware transmitters don't support its
# use.
#
# The discrete power functions (power_on and power_off) can be used to ensure
# the power state of the receiver. However, they probably shouldn't be used in
# a channel change script as the receiver will require a significant delay
# after a power_on before it is capable of receiving/responding to additional
# commands (such as channel numbers). Instead, assuming most of your recording
# is during prime-time, you may want to set a cron job to run a "power_on"
# command for each of your receivers about 5 or 10 minutes before primtetime.

Thanks for your help Dave!

I checked the hardware.conf and there was the problem! Instead of being mostly empty as you said it showed the following:

REMOTE="Hauppauge TV card"
TRANSMITTER="Hauppauge PVR-150 (pci) : Dish Receiver"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
#REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge_mce"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
#TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF="dish/general.conf"
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
START_LIRCD="true"
START_LIRCMD=""
LOAD_MODULES=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

After commenting the references to /yet another/ lircd.conf and general.conf and applying the lircd.conf you sent in your previous post, it started working perfectly.

Thanks for all your help!
