Ubuntu Multimedia :: LIRC: Doesn't Report Activity, But Irrecord Does?

Feb 13, 2011

I've got an Antec Fusion V2 chassis with a built in ir receiver.I've setup lirc on my system, and I can get irrecord to see my remote input and build a config file.I cannot get irw to work, and subsequently no activity on my HTPC.I'm running XBMC Live Further Reading:I've asked two questions on the Live community forum, however it's a slow process and the helpful responses have only taken me so far. These threads include some debug logs and troubleshooting steps.Question 1Question 2I'm wondering if this is something really basic that might simply be missing. The biggest problem here is that Linux changes so fast that information that was valid a year ago is completely obsolete now.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Set Console Resolution - Vbeinfo In Grub2 Doesn't Report All Resolutions

I have a Asus EEE PC 1005P which I installed a Command-line system on using the Alternate Installer CD of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I do not have (or want) the X Window System installed.

I want to change my console screen resolution (not inside X) to 1024x600. But it isn't reported when I use vbeinfo inside grub2:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.10 And Lirc Remote Not Working?

Feb 1, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and am trying to get lirc to recognize my pcusa mce remote control. I have been working on this for a week and have not had any success. Please note that I am very new to Linux. I am comfortable moving around in the terminal but most of anything else that I do in the terminal is just following instructions.

This is the remote that I am using:

[URL]

When I run

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I do not see anything that could be the remote. I have tried plugging the USB receiver into my Ubuntu 10.10 net book but it doesn't see the receiver either. I do not have a windows machine that I can test the remote on but I plugged the receiver into my iMac and I did get a red LED lit that I haven't seen on the Ubuntu machines.

When I run irw and press buttons on the remote I see nothing on the terminal.

When I run:

sudo mode2

I get:

mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory

I have tried mode2 both with lirc running and stopped and I get the same response either way.

I have confirmed that there is no /dev/lirc but there is a lircd in /dev (it's not a directory). Also I had read somewhere that lirc doesn't work under Ubuntu 10.10. Is that the case?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: LIRC IRSEND Not Working In 10.10

Feb 19, 2011

I have recently built a new Ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) and installed MythTV and LIRC.I have correctly (?) configured LIRC for my specific IR Blaster on the serial port. Using the test send (see below), nothing happens - ie none of the pins on the serial port change state, and hence my IR Blaster hardware does nothing.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cannot Get MPlayer To Work With Lirc On Non GUI System

Mar 26, 2010

I'm setting up a gui-less music server so there's no login, and I've tried using mplayer's lirc interface as well as irexec (sending mplayer slave commands to a fifo). But I can't get mplayer to work unless I start either irexec or mplayer from a logged in session. So my S99test is something like:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#irexec -d
#OR
#mplayer myfile.mp3

If I use the "mplayer" line, I do hear music at startup, but no lirc control. Yet if I log in and kill the mplayer and rerun S99test as root, all works fine.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Pulseaudio Lirc Plugin Broken In 10.04?

May 1, 2010

The only thing I have found so far which does not work for me after upgrading to 10.04 is the ability to change the master volume via LIRC and the pulseaudio lirc plugin.LIRC itself is working, I can verify it recognizes my remote control input by using irw, and all other portions of my lircrc file are executed correctly, such as my On Screen Display. However, no changes are made to the system volume.

I have already reinstalled the lirc pulseaudio plugin to no avail.Can anyone else confirm if this does/doesn't work on their own system?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lirc/irw: IMON Pad Registers Some Events Twice

May 6, 2010

I use Mythbuntu 9.10 with an IMON PAD IR/VFD. Everything is fine except that two buttons (MyDVD and menu) fire their event twice. In that case, I'm not talking about a normal repetition in case of a long button press but they fire their initial events twice.

Here is what irw shows:
0000000029a3d5b7 00 MyDVD iMON-PAD
0000000029a3d5b7 00 MyDVD iMON-PAD
000000002ba385b7 00 Menu iMON-PAD
000000002ba385b7 00 Menu iMON-PAD

I pressed the buttons only once each - and not long enough for a repetition. For all other buttons it's fine. As far as I understand, using the .lirrc file to cope with repetitions is no valid approach (at least it didn't work for me) because the events are all numbered with "00", and not with "00", "01",... - so .lircrc is out of this, right?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lirc Stopped Working After Reboot?

I have a bare Ubuntu install that I use to run Xbmc. It has been working perfect for a month. I reboot it every few days.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lirc: No /dev/lirc0 - Actual Device Number Changes On Restart

May 30, 2010

My only issue that I can't figure out thus far is the remote. I'm using a Hauppauge Nova-T USB Stick, and generally the setup for the Nova-T 500 is good. No problem with lircd.conf, .lircrc etc. My problem is that the remote doesn't work on startup. Looked in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and it says, as expected: REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"

Which doesn't work because I have no /dev/lirc0 (I do have a /dev/lircd). However, running /proc/bus/input/devices, I discover that my IR receiver is event5, so if I change the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to: REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event5"

And restart lirc, it works fine. Unfortunately, upon restarting the PC, the IR receiver doesn't always have the same path - eg it could be event6 or event8 etc - so then I need to fix the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf again.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Use Plug'n'play Mouse / Keyboard Remote As Lirc Device?

Mar 16, 2010

I've bought this remote control that sais it works in Vista, XP etc. without any driver. Basically it has a bunch of buttons that replace the mouse and a bunch of others that replace basic keyboard functions (arrows, enter, escape). It has a USB IR receiver so I thought I could simply use it as a lirc remote in Ubuntu.

However, it sais absolutely nothing on it except for "PCremote" so during lirc installation I have no idea what to choose. And, interestingly, I accidentally discovered that it works in Ubuntu, too, out of the box. Controlling the mouse and acting like a keyboard. Is there a way I can forfeit current functionality and just get it to work as a customizable lirc remote? Or even better, keep current functionality but change it only for certain apps (xbmc, vlc etc)?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: MPlayer Crashes - Failed To Open LIRC Support

Jan 20, 2011

I am not able to play certain movie files with MPlayer since a few days:
Code:

Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.

Playing somefile.wmv.
ASF file format detected.
[asfheader] Audio stream found, -aid 1
[asfheader] Video stream found, -vid 2
VIDEO: [WMV3] 640x480 24bpp 1000.000 fps 1500.0 kbps (183.1 kbyte/s)
Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs
DMO dll supports VO Optimizations 0 1
DMO dll might use previous sample when requested
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_video_codec

I am not sure which filetypes are affected by this bug, but I can play *some* files. The specific file here used to work a few days ago.
Code:
kalle@hoppers:~> file somefile.wmv
somefile.wmv: Microsoft ASF
The only major thing referring to multimedia in the past few days I remember is installing 'h264enc' from Packman, however, meanwhile I uninstalled this package, yet the problem persists.

Code:
kalle@hoppers:~> grep h264enc /var/log/zypp/history
2011-01-15 20:11:53|install|h264enc|9.2.4-0.pm.1.1|noarch|root@hoppers|Packman|c5bd1d534726472929134e5acc8f66492c52c51b
2011-01-20 22:06:20|remove |h264enc|9.2.4-0.pm.1.1|noarch|root@hoppers
The only way of solving this was moving MPlayers config, but that did not help either.

Xine also is not able to play this video:
Code:
kalle@hoppers:~> xine somefile.wmv

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Mp3s Report Incorrect Length To Amarok

Jun 9, 2010

Some (very few) mp3 files on my hard drive seem to self-report incorrect (much too long) lengths to audio players. I mostly use Amarok, but I've verified that the problem also occurs with other audio players. The files play just fine, but it's annoying that they're listed with incorrect length. Most of my mp3s are encoded using VBR, but I can't imagine that that's a problem ... and if it were, it would be occurring with a lot more files, I'd think.I'm guessing there's a problem with the file header itself on these files. Is there some way I can check this and correct it, if that is the problem? A quick check through Synaptic didn't turn anything useful-looking up, and neither did a search through these forums.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on an HP Pavilion dv 6000 with a Centrino Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. I have the Universe, Multiverse, and Medibuntu repositories enabled.

Debian Multimedia :: Unable To Get 'report-bug' To Run Without Crashing

Ubuntu :: Can't Get LIRC Working

Jan 12, 2011

I home-made the exact configuration detailed on the lirc.org webpage for making your own IR receiver. It's all wired correctly, I'm just not sure that the serial port is working like it should. I've used a voltmeter to determine that the voltage regulator is working and all.....

I've got LIRC configured with the home-brew IR receiver, and a Haupauge remote. I run irw and NOTHING happens no matter what remote I point at it. I've used test leads to see the effect using a remote on the unit has, and it seems to be working correctly, so either a driver or config file isn't working correctly. I've read a BUNCH of pages but simply don't know enough to troubleshoot any further on my own.

Ubuntu :: Control Desktop With LIRC?

May 3, 2010

Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It's running as a media center box (Boxee amd mythtv), and also as a Asterisk PBX box. I have the box directly connected to my TV without a keyboard or mouse connected.

Is there a way to setup LIRC to flip through the icons on the desktop (similar to using the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard), and initiate a program with the remote? Would prevent the option of using remote desktop to open up or close a program

Ubuntu :: Ir-keytable OrI Learned To Stop Worrying About The LIRC Kernel?

May 10, 2011

Cross posted from the XBMC Forums. I know there's a whole lot of WTF surrounding the new IR setup and not a whole lot of documentation. This is what got it working for me. This is for kernel's 2.6.35+ and LIRC 0.9.0 and above.

Foreword: I've put off upgrading from Lucid because of the cluster that was LIRC in Kernel (and have not been shy about it). After Natty... I'm not happy about Natty, I'm going back to what every thing else in my house runs. A good proper Debian system. I've finally bit the bullet and started to figure out how to deal with LIRC in the Kernel, because it's not going away. Turns out, its just a little bit of awesome (and a whole lot of work.)

First you're going to need ir-keytable. It's available in natty (not maverick) and Sid & Testing. apt-get install ir-keytable. ir-keytable turns ... I'm not really sure what ir-keytable really does. But it turns remote presses into LIRC stuff.

This is the flow chart of fun. I'll try and work on this in order. lirc kernel -> ir-keytable mapping -> LIRC devinput -> lircmap.xml -> remote.xml. Do not install LIRC yet. Un-install it if you have it. Right now we're going to be futzing without it. Running ir-keytable by itself will dump out what IR receiver it recognizes in addition to what protocols it supports. I have a real HP receiver & Remote (ID 045e:006d Microsoft Corp. eHome Remote Control Keyboard keys)
