Hi Guys. Trying to get an XBMC HTP up and running using ubuntu as the os. Running 13.04 since 12.04 would not install on the pc - I have a Gigabyte Birx mini with the i3 chip and a 64 gb msata drive.
To control it, I got a Mediagate (aka AVS) from here:
http://www.rakuten.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=206225418
I have spent hours trying to get LIRC to pick it up. If I use irrecord it finds it with out issue. Here is the initial start results:
root@xbmc:~# irrecord --device=/dev/lirc0 myremote.conf
...
...
...
Found const length: 93657
Please keep on pressing buttons like described above.
.................................................. ..............................
RC-6 remote control found.
Found possible header: 2694 863
No repeat code found.
Unknown encoding found.
Creating config file in raw mode.
Now enter the names for the buttons.
I record a few buttons and myremote.conf looks like this:
begin remote
name myremote.conf
flags RAW_CODES|CONST_LENGTH
eps 30
aeps 100
gap 93657
begin raw_codes
name KEY_UP
2800 750 550 350 550 350
500 800 550 800 1400 800
550 350 550 350 500 400
500 400 500 350 550 350
500 400 500 400 500 350
550 7500 450 400 950 850
500 400 500 400 450 400
500 400 950 400 500 400
450 400 500 850 500
name KEY_DOWN ......
So everything seems to be work so far. I start lirc with the conf file and test with irw but irw does not output anything no matter which key I press.
root@xbmc:~# lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 myremote.conf
root@xbmc:~# irw
The USB receiver blinks to confirm it is receiving a signal. if I watch the port directly I do get output:
root@xbmc:/dev# cat /dev/lirc0
