LIRC problems ...again.

[drpepper]

Hey guys,

I'm close to giving up with LIRC, after many years of development, basic issues have not been ironed out (had the same issue 4 years ago using LIRC with a university project)

I installed LIRC to use with XBMC. It was working fine until I rebooted. I'm aware of the problem with the events, so I reconfigured lirc with dpkg-reconfigure but this hasn't worked. Even irw inst receiving any events now.

cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows the following.

When it was working there was another IR device, other than "IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver" unfortunately I can not remember what it was named. My hardware.conf reflects the correct device i think.

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Hauppauge Nova-T 500"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:09:06.2-event-ir"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge_novat500"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD=true

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""

#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""

# Remote settings required by gnome-lirc-properties
REMOTE_MODEL="NOVA-T500"
REMOTE_VENDOR="Hauppauge"

Not sure where to go from here, any help would be greatly appreciated

/cheers

Not sure if this is the same problem. If LIRC dies after rebooting but can be restarted with the init script, try something like this:
