Have a look at the FAQ (bottom) http://www.lirc.org/faq.html To configure mplayer you also need to know what commands it accept, see mplayer docs for that... /linus On Sat, 08 Feb 2003 10:09:11 -0500 Karl vom Dorff <kvd...@ms...> wrote: > Hi: > > Thanks for your reply. > I tried irw, and it works using the config file I made... > > I start Mplayer and I get this: > Setting up LIRC support... > mplayer: could not connect to socket > mplayer: No such file or directory > Failed to open LIRC support. > You will not be able to use your remote control. > > I just read somewhere today about how to setup the remote to use > programs...apparantly you have to make a .lircrc file and put the > commands > in there.

Well, I am using the right applications. What I am having here is this: I write an .lircrc file, such that I for example can start xterm but also the tv-application. I think I know also how to edit the lircrc such that I can control for example xawtv along with it. However, although in the beginning I can use the remote and open for example a terminal with it, at the point when I start my tv application the remote stops working. Then I have to unload the modules manually and reload them again. Note, that I load lirc_gpio along with parameters (gpio_mask, gpio_lock_mask). It seems as the tv-aplications overwrites these parameters but in fact I just don't know. Lucas _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
