VDR and LIRC

    Hiya folks! General vdr-lirc-question: I have successfully configured my remote and installed the necessary lirc-modules. lircd starts, reads my signals (as can be seen with irw) so everything seems to be peachy. I start up vdr with the --lirc-option. When vdr starts it asks me to provide it with lirc-signals - press any key on the remote, and so on. But, this is where it goes horribly wrong, though I bang on all the buttons with all me might! vdr just hangs, doesn't move forward - it seems like it isn't recognizing the signals from the remote.


    Is there some other daemon I should run, some conf-file I should fiddle with, or something else? Thx for any advice.

    Hi Misha,


    first you have to build the lircd.conf with " irrecord -f /etc/lircd.conf"
    After (re)starting lircd-daemon you can teach your vdr via TV to create the remote.conf


    what remote do you use? For the most common remotes exist ready to use remote.conf and lircd.conf . Just search...

    I am quite sure, that misha has a working lircd.conf, see:

    lircd starts, reads my signals (as can be seen with irw) so everything seems to be peachy.


    So I'd guess, that the file permissions for /dev/lirc* are not correct.

    Are you running vdr as a non-priviliged user? Can this user read /dev/lircd?

    Hiya,


    Thx for the replies and suggestions. I solved the problem in a rather odd manner... I use softdevice (haven't got any FF-card yet), and had previously defined the softdevice-keyboard strokes into remote.conf. I removed this file, and restarted VDR. When asked for softdevice-keyboard commands I did nothing, and after a short while vdr resumed to ask me for LIRC-commands. Now vdr responded to to my button pushes, and allowed me to program the remote. Finally I copied the softdevice-commands back into remote.conf, and everythign worked just fine!


    I have no idea why this worked - softdevice quirks, my own stoopidity, blind luck or sunspots - but it doesn't matter anymore. The remote is working, now I'm off to configuring the s**tc*m-plugin. Wish me luck :)
