More weirdness with the IR extender and LIRC

[Lance T. <la...@un...>]

Has anyone seen strange behavior like this?

I have two remotes, the "cheap-o" packard bell (config file exists for 
this) and a remote from my Panasonic home theater system (model number on 
the remote is EUR7623X60).  I trained lirc with irrecord for this remote 
and it works fine when pointing directly to my IR receiver.

However, when I send the signal through my IR extender, the cheap-o 
packard bell remote still works but the Panasonic remote does not.  Why 
would one work and one not while they both work without the IR extender?

Also, I see plenty of noise via mode2 from the IR extender.  This noise 
doesn't seem to affect the packard bell remote though.

I've also tried retraining lirc via the IR extender but this doesn't work 
presumably because of the noise.  I just keep getting "Something went 
wrong".  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
