imon IR reciever, MCE (RC6) remote and irrecord???

[ryan c. <rco...@ya...>]

Hello all,

I'm new to the mail group. I've searched high and low for the
answers to my problem.

I have an imon LCD display w/built-in IR receiver. The remote that
came with it, the imon-pad, pretty much sucks, so I would like to
use the MCE remote that came with my Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500 MCE-
Kit instead. I would prefer to keep using the built-in IR receiver,
rather than the usb receiver that came with the 500. I can't seem
to do this yet.

What I've done so far:

I've set the alias in modprobe.conf to 'alias char-major-61 lirc-
imon'.
I've tried to use the lircd.conf file and lircrc file that came
with the latest MythDora for mceusb2.

I have been unable to determine why this doesn't work. My hunch is
that a particular lircd.conf file must be based on a particular IR
receiver.

So next I tried to use the irrecord utility. Everything seems to go
okay with the actual recording until the end when I'm told that I
have an 'Invalid toggle bit.' I don't know what that means.

In looking at the resulting file, there are only a few codes and
they are repeated for several buttons each. Running irw confirms
this as pressing a single button multiple times results in
different names being shown.

So I'm wondering what the problem(s) may be and how to overcome
them.

Thanks.
