Re: [misterhouse-users] IR commander........anyone got it working?

[Chris H. <chr...@ea...>]

Im trying to get it working on my linux box............disabled the CM11 temporarily and
am just running the FireCracker right now, but everytime MH tries to send a command, I
end up getting "db set=12,RECORD pass=4494
Sending IR_Item command VCR 0,1,2,RECORD,RECORD
db set=12 pass=4494
Sending IR_Item command TV 1,2
normal: (mh_problem)
05/21/01 05:54:00 PM mh paused for 22 seconds (v=73)"

I don't know why its pausing, nor do I know why the command isnt actually received at
the IR commander (the red LED doesnt flash).

Any ideas?
