Re: Configuring remote and lircd.conf for Hauppauge PVR-150 and Xawtv

[Dave M G <ma...@au...>]

Doctor,

Thank you for replying.

This situation is still going over my head. I think the stumbling block 
is that I don't understand how to create a proper lircrc file.

I have a file in my home directory called .lircrc. Inside it, I tried to 
set up the configuration for the remote to change channels and volume 
within xawtv.

First, I confirmed with irw what the button names are:
00000000000017a0 00 Ch+ Hauppauge_350
00000000000017a1 00 Ch- Hauppauge_350
000000000000178f 00 Mute Hauppauge_350
0000000000001790 00 Vol+ Hauppauge_350
0000000000001791 00 Vol- Hauppauge_350

Then I got xawtv commands from this web page:
http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_xawtv-remote.htm

So this is what I put in the .lircrc file:
begin
prog = xawtv
button = Ch+
repeat = 3
config = setstation next
end

begin
prog = xawtv
button = Ch-
repeat = 3
config = setstation prev
end

begin
prog = xawtv
button = Mute
repeat = 3
config = volume mute on | off
end

begin
prog = xawtv
button = Vol+
repeat = 3
config = volume +=10%
end

begin
prog = xawtv
button = Vol-
repeat = 3
config = volume +=10%
end


I rebooted, just to be sure that the appropriate services were restarted.

But within Xawtv, pressing buttons on the remote does nothing.

Is my syntax wrong?

Is .lircrc in the wrong place or being ignored?

Is there some extra setting I need to make this work?
