Hi Matt, You led me right to the solution! I had a folder ~/mythtv/lircrc. When I went to rename my .lircrc file to make it no longer hidden, I got an error message saying that "lircrc" already existed in this location. Of course! Once I deleted the folder, the remote was working. It works with the lircrc file hidden or shown, either way. Thanks for the response, I really do appreciate the help.

Ss Aug17 0:10 lircd Also you will need to make sure that your lircrc is in the correct home directory depending on what user mythfrontend is running as. If I run: # ps aux | grep mythfrontend root 524 0.0 0.0 61172 712 pts/3 S+ 06:58 0:00 grep mythfrontend mythfe 18391 12.9 36.3 881436 373092 ? SLl Aug23 1010:30 mythfrontend you can see the first field on the second line shows that it is running as the mythfe user. This means that mythfrontend is going to look, ON STARTUP ONLY, for /home/mythfe/.mythtv/lircrc # ls -la /home/mythfe/.mythtv/ | grep lirc -rw-r--r-- 1 mythfe mythfe 28570 Aug 3 10:38 lircrc I also put this in the directory /home/mythfe, since this is where mplayer looks for it: # ls -la /home/mythfe/ | grep lirc lrwxrwxrwx 1 mythfe mythfe 14 May 8 21:27 .lircrc -> .mythtv/lircrc |
