Also, I never got myth's internal support to work right, but it works
fine using irxevent.

<pre wrap="">mythtv version: 0.16 (compiled with native lirc support)
lirc version: lirc-0.7.0pre8
Context:
I installed the lirc driver, and lircd is running, and if I use irw, I
can see each button I press.
Problem:
When I run mythfrontend, the remote doesn't work. I see this in the
console->
mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: Connection refused
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
I've got no idea why mythfrontend would not be able to to access lirc.
Here's a side note- it seems myth tries to access /dev/lircd, because
initially, the lirc driver only created a /dev/lirc0, and mythfrontend
would throw the same error as above, except saying "file not found"
instead of "connection refused". After I added a symbolic link
(/dev/lircd) to point to /dev/lirc0, I started getting my current error.
Anyone have any idea?

<pre wrap="">Could you try downgrading to 0.7.0pre7? I had two reports that pre8
broke lirc setups, while pre7 was doing fine.

<pre wrap="">Ok, I downloaded, compiled, and installed pre7, and when I modprobe
lirc_i2c I get the following in my /dev -->
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 61, 0 Oct 15 12:12 /dev/lirc
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 15 12:13 /dev/lircd|
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 15 12:13 /dev/lircm|

<pre wrap="">That sounds like you have udev or devfs. Are you sure these came up
with the modprobe? What distribution/kernel is this?

Same old "connection refused" error!

<pre wrap="">Sorry, thought I had a clue. If you are using udev/devfs, then check
with the lirc list, support for them is quite new.

<pre wrap="">I don't have to recompile mythtv since moving down to pre7, do I?
Also, doesn't it not matter if I'm using udev/devfs, because lircd
stands "in between" my device and mythfrontend?

<pre wrap="">Well, maybe I am stuck with irxevent for now, until this gets addressed.
Does anyone have a good irxevent conf for the grey hauppauge remote that
come with the pvr250?

Ok, firstly, I'm and idiot. I was running- lircd. That was picking up
lircd in /usr/bin, which was 0.6.6. That's why it couldn't connect. My
new compiled lircd was in /usr/local/sbin.

similar problem. irw works outside, and it shows all of the

But, irxevent doesn't help. I run <br>
<br>
# irxevent &<br>

then startup myth<br>

# mythfrontend <br>

If I start it up as another user I see something like:<br>

irxevent: could not open config files <user>/.lircrc and

Don't know why it reports "/etc/lircrc"<br>
