hifi-remote.com/[forums,wiki] is up again, and the said help manu entries are working agaain! Ticket can be closed.

If I read the original message correctly, RMIR is supposed to throw an error upon loading the attached file. For me, using version 3.2.15, this does not happen; it loads without problems. The Special Function tab however shows the entry in purple, so there appears to be something fishy; probably it is considered invalid for some reason. It might be better to ask in the forum.

The man page lircd.conf(5) says: LIRC was designed to collect IR data and save it in a private, compact, yet human readable format with the purpose of being able to re-transmit (or re-recognize) these signals. It was not designed with the goal of providing a well documented and tested configuration file format that could be used e.g., to generate arbitrary IR signals or to convert them to other formats. The configuration file should thus not be considered a public interface to LIRC. So if you are...

This is not a ticket in the formal sense -- it does not describe a bug/misbehavior nor a suggested improvement -- so it can be just closed. Rather it is an attempt to understand. I will try to give some (hopefully) helpful suggestions next. Trying to use Lirc to understand IR protocols is not a good idea. May I suggest that you try IrScrutinizer instead? You probably already have a /dev/lirc* device, so in IrScrutinizer select that device as "hardware". Thus you can capture and decode IR signal from...

Given the not very active state of the project, and the lack of planned future developments, the smartest thing may be to just keep it as it is. Think of how many links on the Internet that will break. For example lirc.org... But in the end, I think that the ones who are active (Sean?) should decide.

Some Help menu entries dead since the demise of hifi-remote.com/forums

I do not care for Lirc anymore, but I do have extensive experience with parallel make. I have learned that "parallel make fails" always (?) means that the dependencies are incomplete. Complete the dependencies and parallel make will succed.
