I've just updated to 1.0a4 but I'm having problems with my lirc, I will submit my conf for the Samsung-BN59-00516A to avoid problems in the future but my current problem isn't down to the conf. If I try my remote after reboot I get nothing from irw, if I run

Code:

sudo modprobe lirc_rpi

then irw, I can see the inputs in terminal and the remote controls XBMC again.

How can I get it so my remote works on boot?

Thanks for any input

Lircd.conf and Lircmap.xml tend to get overwritten when updating Xbian.
Did you check them?

I suspect Lircmap.xml is reverted to default config,that's why irw shows the incomming commands but XBMC doesn't respond.
Or am i misunderstanding your issue?

Code:

echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules

Can you post the output of 'dmesg', 'lsusb', and 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'

No, they don't

Lirc never works after i update,not until i restore Lircmap.xml,i always assumed it had something to do with updating.

Anyway,to get my lirc working on boot i've added sudo modprobe lirc_rpi to /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 string and this works.

CurlyMo · 11th Jan, 2013, 08:55 AM

Did you ever share your config with us? We don't overwrite lircmap.xml

Also this fix will also work for you:

Code:

echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules

For some reason sudo echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules gave me a permission denied. Not sure if it's relevant, anyways got the following as root.

for the record my lircd.conf did get overwritten with a file that contained 4 include statements pointing to the remotes folder, I checked this aginst the GitHub code and it matches the lircd.conf on there too.

lircd.conf

Code:

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/devinput.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/xbox.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/smt1000t.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/srm7500.conf"

I have overwritten this with my lircd.conf, I initially tried to rename my conf file and move it to the remotes folder but that didn't work, although that was before I found the 'sudo modprobe lirc_rpi' trick.

Then do:

Code:

sudo su

echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules

Also, does remote fully work after adding lirc_rpi?

Code:

sudo su

echo "lirc_rpi" >> /etc/modules

Returns no ouput

The remote does appear to be fully working once lirc_rpi is run

Did you also make a custom lirc map that you can share with us, or did it just work after loading the module.

@CurlyMo: It doesn't get overwritten,it gets renamed to Lircd.conf.xbian and a new default lircd.conf takes it's place,this happens when updating using xbian-config.
I did report it earlier on in this thread.
Since ilike1664 experiences the same problem there must be some truth in my statement.
I'm using a custom lircd.conf file,i can't share it now cause i'm at work and don't have access to my pi.

@ilike1664: just put the modeprobe command in rc.local so it runs at boot,that's how i "fixed" it.
It's probably not the best fix but it works.

I have included a modular lirc solution that will allow custom lirc maps. Just add your lircmap to:
'/etc/lirc/remotes/[name].conf'

and include that map by adding:

Code:

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/devinput.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/xbox.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/smt1000t.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/srm7500.conf"

include "/etc/lirc/remotes/[name].conf"

This way it will never get overwriten. For custom hardware.conf files, edit '/etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf'.

In any of these cases, share the files with us so remote support will be default in next versions.

Thanks will try it out.
As for my config,it won't be usefull to many people since i'm using an old vcr-remote at the moment.
I'm planning on using a spare Telenet hd-digicorder remote in the near future but this config will also only be usefull for the Belgian Xbian users since it is a proprietary remote only used by Telenet.

I have attached the lircmap.xml for the Samsung-BN59-00516A STB mode on the remote.

I'll be adopting the modular approach once I have things working again.

CurlyMo · 12th Jan, 2013, 02:56 AM

Do you also have the lircd.conf for me?

ilike1664 · 12th Jan, 2013, 05:51 AM

Here you go Lircd.conf. It still needs some refining but it's a solid base.
