How to troubleshoot IR blaster
|

Hi there.
I've been trying for some time to control a set-top box. Unsuccessfully.
Please could anyone tell me how to troubleshoot this?
The STB is a Telenet Digibox HD, type DB-AD210, manufactured by Advanced
Digital Broadcast. I'm using an MCE IR transceiver:
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 1934:5168 Feature Integration Technology Inc.
(Fintek) F71610A or F71612A Consumer Infrared Receiver/Transceiver
I generated a config file using the following irrecord command:
# irrecord -f -n -d /dev/lirc0 digibox
As you can see I needed to force raw mode because (as reported by others
over the years) otherwise irrecord thinks it's an RC6 remote but then
doesn't find a toggle bit.
The red light in the blaster flashes when I issue the appropriate irsend
command, but the STB does not seem to accept it. I've held the blaster
just about everywhere on the front panel, no joy.
How can I troubleshoot this? Have I generated the config file correctly?
Have I incorporated it correctly in lirc's overall configuration?
I don't mind doing (lots of) work to figure this out, and I've already
googled quite a lot. I'd be very grateful for any hints.
Detailed info below.
Many thanks, Jan
