Setup trouble on Fedora23 [mceusb]

[Wade B. <wbe...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have a working setup using centos7 (and other ubuntu distros
previously) but when using this hardware with fedora 23 I can't get it
working.

Here's my hardware:

lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1784:0006 TopSeed Technology Corp. eHome Infrared Transceiver
remote: directv tivo (http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/tivo/DTV36)

Software:

kernel version: 4.4.7-300.fc23.x86_64

lirc:

Version     : 0.9.3a
Release     : 3.fc23

dmesg output:

I've followed the guide at
http://www.lirc.org/html/configuration-guide.html

It doesn't look like I should be using devinput...

I run:

mode2 --driver default --device /dev/lirc0

and I get a bunch of stuff:

pulse 6350
space 3650
pulse 550
space 550
pulse 600
space 550
pulse 550
space 1650
...

when pressing buttons.

but when I run lircd:

lircd --nodaemon --device /dev/lirc0 --driver default

lircd-0.9.3a[3192]: Warning: Running as root
lircd-0.9.3a[3192]: Info: Using remote: TIVA_DirecTV_DTV36.
lircd-0.9.3a[3192]: Warning: /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/DTV36.lircd.conf: TIVA_DirecTV_DTV36: Duplicate codes: KEY_MUTE

lircd-0.9.3a[3192]: Notice: 'lirc' written to protocols file /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols

and then irw:

I get nothing.

When I do irrecord to generate a config, usually it will say "gap not
found, can't continue".  Sometimes if I do get past that, each button
on the remote shows a keycode of (0x0).

I tried compiling 0.9.0 from source with the same results.

I am seeing something similar here:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2014-December/456196.html

but there wasn't any resolve posted.

I'm really not sure where to go next to debug this... like I said, I
had previously working setups with this hardware, and it works on my
centos7 setup.

Has anyone run into this before?  Any ideas of where to go next?  Any
tips or help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Wade
