Yet Another IR Remote problem - jkister - 25th Sep, 2013 03:29 PM

I followed the Configuring a remote Tutorial closely. I am getting stuck on 3b.

When I run irrecord, it continuously asks me for "next":

Code:

Please enter the name for the next button (press <ENTER> to finish recording)

KEY_NEXT

Now hold down button "KEY_NEXT".

Please enter the name for the next button (press <ENTER> to finish recording)

KEY_NEXT

Now hold down button "KEY_NEXT".

If i do press <ENTER> to finish recording, irrecord does not ask about any other buttons and only KEY_NEXT is listed in ~pi/lircd.conf.

FYI:

Code:

root@rpi1:/etc/lirc# irrecord -version

irrecord $Revision: 5.101 $

I am using a the DVR button on the Philips RC1445302 (for Verizon FiOS). I don't care what code I use, but it's currently configured for RCA DVD code 0549.

Can someone give me any ideas on how to proceed ?

When it asks Please enter the name for the next button, it means the next button you want to record. So:
- KEY_NEXT
Please enter the name for the next button
- KEY_1
Please enter the name for the next button
- KEY_2
Please enter the name for the next button
- KEY_3
Please enter the name for the next button

Until you're done with all of them.

Reminds me of:
Please press any key to continue
Where is the any key?

Is it worth updating the tutorial to mention this fact. I'm sure others will come across this issue.

and .... of course a photo of the "any" key Big Grin
