setup remote control with irw

Hello, could you post a link to an image of your remote? I have this model: http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/images…nbedienung_Medion_X10.jpg and could post my keytable for it (the additional packet linux-media-dkms is needed, so a rc-core driver for this remote is used)

Here is my config (should be saved as /etc/rc_keymaps/rc-medion-x10):

# table rc-medion-x10, type:other
0xc500 = KEY_MUTE
0xc702 = KEY_POWER2
0xc904 = KEY_DVD
0xca05 = KEY_IMAGES
0xcb06 = KEY_AUDIO
0xcd08 = KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
0xce09 = KEY_VOLUMEUP
0xd00b = KEY_CHANNELUP
0xd10c = KEY_CHANNELDOWN
0xd20d = KEY_1
0xd30e = KEY_2
0xd40f = KEY_3
0xd510 = KEY_4
0xd611 = KEY_5
0xd712 = KEY_6
0xd813 = KEY_7
0xd914 = KEY_8
0xda15 = KEY_9
0xdb16 = KEY_TEXT
0xdc17 = KEY_0
0xdd18 = KEY_CHANNEL
0xde19 = KEY_MENU
0xdf1a = KEY_UP
0xe01b = KEY_SETUP
0xe11c = KEY_SEARCH
0xe21d = KEY_LEFT
0xe31e = KEY_OK
0xe41f = KEY_RIGHT
0xe520 = KEY_DELETE
0xe621 = KEY_PREVIOUS
0xe722 = KEY_DOWN
0xe823 = KEY_NEXT
0xe924 = KEY_REWIND
0xea25 = KEY_PLAY
0xeb26 = KEY_FORWARD
0xec27 = KEY_RECORD
0xed28 = KEY_STOP
0xee29 = KEY_PAUSE
0xf12c = KEY_VIDEO
0xf22d = KEY_PVR
0xf32e = KEY_RADIO
0xf42f = KEY_TIME
0xf530 = KEY_CHANNEL
0xf631 = KEY_EPG
0xf732 = KEY_RED
0xf833 = KEY_GREEN
0xf934 = KEY_YELLOW
0xfa35 = KEY_BLUE
0xfb36 = KEY_INFO
0xfc37 = KEY_ESC
0xfd38 = KEY_MENU
0xfe39 = KEY_SCREEN
0xff3a = KEY_RADIO

In order to use it, you will have to add this line to /etc/rc_maps.cfg (use a custom Template as described in http://www.yavdr.org/tutorials…s-to-configuration-files/ to prevent future updates to overwrite it):

ati_remote    rc-medion-x10   /etc/rc_keymaps/rc-medion-x10

After a reboot most keys should work - I reseved some for irexec actions - if needed rename them to the approriate keyname (as found in /etc/vdr/remote.conf)

I used the keys "EDIT IMAGE" for menu, "ACQUIRE IMAGE" for back/exit and "RENAME" for info.

If you want to setup a new lircd.conf via irw you have to stop the following three services:

sudo service vdr stop
sudo service lircd stop
sudo service eventlircd stop

then start irw and it will work!

If you have finished simply type the same services in but at this time with "start" at the end.

Please read the thread carefully - mushroom says he is using a X10 remote control which has two possible driver modules called ati_remote in yaVDR 0.4. Without linux-media-dkms it will be recognized as a keyboard (and an udev rule is used to bind it to eventircd), when linux-media-dkms in installed it will be treated as a rc-core remote.

First Post:

in 0.3 i could setup my remote with irw while on 0.4 irw does not work.any way to make irw work?

i only told him the solution...

23rd post: setup remote control with irw new problem, new solution
BTW: AFAIK irw is for testing a lircd configuration, not for creating a new one...
