mythbuntu-lircrc-generator generates empty .lircrc

[theonlyandy]

Hello everybody.

I just found that very handy mythbuntu-lircrc-generator script, that should generate a "sane" .lircrc file for all programs used by mythtv.

When running it it creates the .lircrc files in my home, but those are empty!

I have a lircd.conf in /etc/lirc. I had to train it for myself, because my remote controll wasn't published so far.

mythbuntu-lircrc-generator gives no output.

I'd appreciate some help - I don't want to create the lircrc for all programs by hand.

Greetings from Germany!

One thing to note: m-l-g only knows english.

so in your Lircd.conf make sure all the buttons have english and sane names (i.e Play, Stop, FFW, ect) The only reason you would get empty output is if it is not matching any terms

Hm. Thanks for the answer so far.

I only have english names there, but for example "ffw" is named "fwd" in my file.

Is there any documentation how to name the buttons so that m-l-g is able to generate?

Is is no real documentation on it, I wrote the dictionary it uses though, what you can do is use one of (any is ok) the lirc supported remotes as a naming example (/usr/share/lirc/remotes) and make sure your lircd.conf is formated exatly as one of those are (I suggest using the Windows MCE Remotes as examples, they are the best supported remotes)

Ok, thanks a lot.

I'll try to do that...

Greetings.
