Re: lirc_mceusb2 not transmitting

[Matt N. <ma...@fr...>]

This is what I have used and it works great for me:

 irsend SET_TRANSMITTERS 2
 irsend --count=4 SEND_ONCE YAMAHA_RECEIVER POWER_ON

I don't know if you found out yet or not, but the set transmitters does the
following:

1 - use transmitter 1
2 - use transmitter 2
1 2 - use transmitter 1 and 2

the "--count" tells the transmitter how many times to send the signal.  I
found that my yamaha receiver had about a 50/50 chance of turning on unless
I turned this to about 4.  Set it to high and it will turn your device on,
and then off again, but to low and some devices are stupid and need to be
slapped in the face to actually wake up and recognize the signal.

Hope this helps.
