Nick, The link that Christoph provided actually contains 3 (THREE!) different configs for DViCO slimline/MCE remotes. scroll-down. :-) The first "begin remote" stanza (labeled 'DVICO") is for the slimline/original remote, and was created by a guy called Chris Pascoe who lives just across town from me. The second and third "begin remote" stanza's are for the "chunky" MCE remote. The second is a very "raw" config for MCE who's origin i'm not aware of, and may/may not work - YMMV. The third "begin remote" stanza was created by me and my MCE remote (with christoph's and others help to get a patch into irrecord so that it would create it properly) , and has been used on at least 3 different MCE remotes that I'm personally aware of, and it works perfectly. Try taking that file/link and removing the first two 'begin remote" sections entirely and try it then. ( http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lirc/lirc/remotes/dvico/lircd.conf.fus ionHDTV?view=markup ) Just to make sure we are on the same page..... my DViCO "Fusion MCE" Remote and USB dongle look like the ones in these pictures - here's hoping yours does too!: http://www.pcalchemy.com/images/dvico/fusionhdtv5-gold/fusionhdtv5-gold.jpg http://www.eyo.com.au/img/ups%2Ckvm%2Cusb/hdtv5remote.jpg <http://www.pcalchemy.com/images/dvico/fusionhdtv5-gold/fusionhdtv5-gold-144 x108.jpg> David B. _____ From: lir...@li...

Subject: Re: Unable to get UltraView (Dvico ) remote working Thanks for the response Christoph. The config you note is included with the source for lirc and is what I tried as a first step to get going. It is definately the config for the slimline remote, which I do not have (and does not work with the remote I do have) I have enabled debug during configuration and get what looks like useful data being dumped with each button push, however, I dont know how to turn that into a useful configuration file manually. (Should I be concerned about a message that is also being dumped as part of the debug output indicating something like 'Decoding of all remotes failed' - even though there are also unique debug values corresponding with different buttons being pushed being displayed.)

I am led to believe that the Ultraview / Dvico cards are/were offered with two remotes. A slimish one, and a 'chunky' one. I have the chunky one. I have read (perhaps erroneously) that this is an 'MCE' remote. They appear to use the same USB receiver. [...] Sorry for the long post, but better too much info than too little I spose... Can anyone help me here? Does it sound like just a wrong lirc.conf file or something strange my remote is doing? Try this config file: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/lirc/lirc/remotes/dvico/ lircd.conf.fusionHDTV?rev=1.3&view=markup If this does not help, you will have to create a config file manually by compiling lircd with debug code and looking through the log files.
