[0.4] LIRC and Terratec remote with usb irda

perusmuro · May 3rd 2011

Hi,

I am using yaVDR 0.3.0 with newest updates.

I bought Terratec remote with usb receiver. See picture -> http://static.letsbuyit.com/fi…rnbedienung-12983627.jpeg

But now i have problem. Why i can't repeat my commands? I mean that when i press up and keep pressed i want that that channel or record list going up until i let go.

I has looking that where is problem but not found anything. And last... There's not anywhere english-area?

Hi,

I noticed that there is two remotes in lircd.conf and i want to try only use that Terratec conf. So i remoted that Samsung remote and this files etc. But how i can get make new lirc settings? Is there something command? I was trying that sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc -command but that not run that configuration wizard in the VDR screen.

perusmuro · May 6th 2011

Hi,

Again...

I noticed that only remote.conf is needed to reconfiguration my remote. And i also removed that Samsung remote on my configuration. But that's not help me nothing. Same one key only. Maybe problem is my ir-usb and this driver. Maybe i need to try another ir receiver.

Hi perusmuro,
The terratec and the satelco remote does not support this. i use the samsung reciever with the hauppauge mvp remote and it works.

Hi Buntspecht,

this is not working for me. The LED in the receiver flickers constantly while holding down something like volume up. But there's still a single event when I look directly in the event file in /dev.
(I am using a harmony remote with mvp configuration though).
Can you definitely confirm that repeat works? I haven't found anything in google, just that the receiver doe not repeat at all.

Hmm.

Maybe i try that same thing today. But what if that problem is on the Samsung IR?
I have also harmony one.

In 0.3 this worked fine:
http://pastebin.com/jiXyqGq5

I tried this configuration too: https://github.com/yavdr/yavdr…d-conf/samsung-lircd.conf but that seems to work only Satelco remote, because if i try my Terratec there is same kay but only different place, example ei press CH+ on Terratec i got Volume+ what is Satelco remote. But all buttons don't work that way. I tried looking on my Harmony Satelco configure but i didn't find anything.

seahawk1986 · Oct 29th 2011

Have you tried to adapt your old lircd.conf to the new namespace in yaVDR 0.4? /var/lib/vdr/remote.conf should not be modyfied.
Just replace the key names by the names provided in the column "Event" in this table: https://bugs.yavdr.com/project…tegration_04#Eventmapping
So for example

Code

UP              0xffcc0017
        LEFT            0xffcc0018
        OK              0xffcc0019
        RIGHT           0xffcc001a
        DOWN            0xffcc001b

becomes

Code

KEY_UP              0xffcc0017
        KEY_LEFT            0xffcc0018
        KEY_OK              0xffcc0019
        KEY_RIGHT           0xffcc001a
        KEY_DOWN            0xffcc001b

To change the behaviour of eventlircd to filter repeating keystrokes there are some prebuild eventlircd packages that provide different delays until a key is recognised as held down and sends repeated keystrokes: Umfrage zu Eventlircd - Einstellung des Repeat-Filters

Hi,

I tried change that old configuration to 0.4 but nope. I only got wrong codes still. I think that something driver or else have changes because i got Satelco and Samsung codes with this Terratec remote.

I think that easies way is to change my USB IR to this: http://www.dvbshop.net/product…nd-Fernbedienung-SET.html But i don't know is this ir repeating keystrokes what Samsung didn't do.

And also i first installed that 0.9s packages because, i got multiple keystrokes when i pressed button one time on Terratec. Only what i got worked right is those up, down, right, down and ok keys.

Is anyone got this working under yaVDR 0.4?
