Re: Can't transmit bad version??

[Paul S. <ps...@ad...>]

As a follow up, I worked carefully the device assignment for /dev/lirc 
and /dev/lircd and now I get something about the hardware not supporing 
sending.  I have removed any stale irc modules that I found.

This has got me stumped:

 >>>rc SEND_START PHILIPS_TV "POWER"
buffer: -BEGIN-
buffer: -SEND_START PHILIPS_TV POWER-
buffer: -ERROR-
rc: command failed: SEND_START PHILIPS_TV POWER
buffer: -DATA-
buffer: -1-
buffer: -hardware does not support sending-
rc: hardware does not support sending
buffer: -END-

Thanks,
