lirc, mceusb and generic HP USB IR receiver
ok, i am at wits end with this... i have tried everything i know (and i am not new to this) and cannot get my remote to work consistently. it works most of the time in rc1, but occasionally does not - either only a few buttons work or it doesn't work at all, usually a reboot or 2 will fix it. but in staging i cannot get it to work at all. i have been through everything in THIS THREAD, as well as dozens of xbmc, openelec and lirc forums and nothing gets a response from irw or mode2.
dmesg Code: [ 22.543228] Registered IR keymap rc-rc6-mce cat /var/log/lircd Code: Apr 7 19:54:18 xbian-testing lircd: caught signal Code: xbian@xbian-testing ~ $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices Code: xbian@xbian-testing ~ $ lsusb Code: xbian@xbian-testing ~ $ lsmod i am now at the point that i am shopping for a flirc or a gpio receiver, but they are not easy to find in this part of the world, plus i know it CAN work and would like to figure it out as it may help others if we can get to the bottom of it. i suspect a conflict with ir-keytables, but documentation on the relationship between that and lirc is spotty at best. @CurlyMo, can we use this as a scenario to put together a step-by-step troubleshooting procedure that is worth adding to the wiki? after all, it ain't rocket science (or is it?). ***please click 'thanks' if I helped!*** |

Can you unload all rc modules and just load lirc_dev and mceusb. Then restart lirc.

RE: lirc, mceusb and generic HP USB IR receiver
fyi, i checked my working rc1 build and irw returns mceusb as input device. i still suspect ir-keytables as the culprit here, but without irw working i cannot verify if devinput is taking over. any ideas?
