I want to configure it to work <br>with the rest of the buttons.<br><br>Problems:<br><br>1) >irrecord /dev/lircd /home/mythtv/myfile (running as root), I got:<br><br>irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)<br><br>>ls /dev/lirc* <br><br>lircd<br><br>2) I can't stop the lircd:<br><br>/etc/init.d/lircd stop<br><br>I got a failed message. Also failed when shutting down the computer.<br><br>killproc
lircd fails. Could be killproc is not available? (man killproc not found)<br><br>I write a little C program, and all it does is read in a character, and then prints<br>out the ASCII in hex. I was able to read a majority of the buttons. Strange that some<br>buttons give me a same code. Some buttons give me a bunch of characters (such as up button<br>would give me 1B 5B 41). The fast forward and fast reverse give me 2 and 6 which is the<br>same as next, previous button respectively.<br><br>Anyway, it's best if I can get these two problem resolved. It appears that it's almost there<br>, just something a bit off.<br><br><br><br><br><br></pre><div> </div></div><br>
