Trying to get the CommandIR Mini working. Running a fresh install of 10.21.
I'm using a Zenith 901 STB (there were no 900's available when I purchased my STB). I selected both the CommandIR Mini and the Zenith 900 STB (figuring I could later replace remote specific info) during install.
Do I need to do anything else? It doesn't work out of the box but I'm not sure if that's because there are a few more things to do...?
G
Slow but Sure
d00d... I'm doing well. Way too busy, but such is life. I'm running into serious WAF issues with the MythBox not working. She's getting... anxious.
Well, some progress, here are my notes.
I looked at that channel change script you linked to Dennis. I'm not sure how MythTV is supposed to use it though. The usage of the script is as follows:
/usr/bin/chchange-device-lock.sh REMOTE_NAME TRANSMITTER_NUM (CHANNEL_NUMBER | IR_COMMAND) [DELAY]
As you can see, the first argument passed to the script is REMOTE_NAME. It's my understanding that MythTV expects the fist argument to be the channel number. I thought I could just edit the script and hard code in everything but the CHANNEL_NUMBER.
When I run the script manually and supply the right arguments, I see the correct red light blink for the transmitter I want send commands on. It won't change the STB channel, which I wasn't surprised to see.
So I thought I would run irrecord for my remote. I had to feed it the driver to use like this:
irrecord --driver=commandir remote_file.txt
I ended up with a file that had raw codes. I'm not sure where to go from here with regard to the lircd.conf files. It's my understanding that I can't use files with raw codes...?
Btw, this was an improvement over the original script. With the original script, any IR command would fire off all four red lights. So at least now we can select which transmitter to shoot the command on.
Geoff
Sumfin is wokin...
So I just appended the existing lircd.conf file with the lircd.conf I just generated with irrecord (raw codes). I can successfully change channels from the command line now.
Just need to edit the channel change script now I'm guessing.
Geoff
Hey Geoff. How the hell are
Hey Geoff. How the hell are ya? Sorry things aren't working for you. First off do you see any lights on the command IR blink when you press any buttons? The second thing is I'm not sure if the 901 will need to use a different lird.conf or not. That wasn't available when we put this together. There is also a chance the channel change script may need to be changed using this script. It comes from the CommandIR Mini author.

G once you get it working,
G once you get it working, can you post the steps or changes you had to make so we can try to include it in the next release?
Working Now
Ok, I have MythTV changing channels with the CommandIR and the Zenith 901 STB. I just had to modify the script a little. I'll post the script later as I don't have the machine up and running right now.
Until I get the files posted, if you want the modified script or the new lircd.conf file, just shoot me a PM and I'll be sure to get them to you.
