LIRCHowToUSBMCE2004Remote

April 5, 2006, using R5B7. The below instructions didn't work for me, though these did: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote --Dan Wolfgang

R5A22

The USB MCE 2004 remote is (almost) automatically installed R5A22. During the install, it will ask you if you have a MCE remote, at this point DO NOT pick the correct option, just select quit.

The correct executables has already been installed.

Now onto the problem, while the correct executables have already been installed, the correct config files have not (it's installed the Hauppauge PVR-350 remote config files by mistake).

MORE SOON...

R5A15 / R5A16

To install LIRC on KnoppMyth R5A15/R5A16 for the USB MCE 2004 remote (and possibly 2005) -

1. Login as root.

2. Locate any existing instances of lirc_dev.ko or lirc_mceusb.ko on

your system and remove them. Very Important.

locate lirc_dev.ko

locate lirc_mceusb.ko

3. cd /usr/src/linux

make cloneconfig (this seemed to fail on my box??)

make prepare-all

4. Download lirc 0.7.1 from www.lirc.org and Untar it -

wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lirc/lirc-0.7.1.tar.gz

tar -zxvf lirc-0.7.1.tar.gz

5. CD into the new dir

cd lirc-0.7.1

6. Enter ./setup.sh

Choose "Driver configuration", "USB devices" and "Windows Media Center Remotes". Then select "Save configuration & run configure". Configure should complete without errors.

7. Back in the shell enter "make".

8. If compilation was successful, enter "make install".

9. Add the following to your /etc/modprobe.d/aliases

alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb

options lirc_mceusb debug=1

Remove any other entries referring to char-major-61

10. Enter "depmod -a"

11. Enter "tail -f /var/log/messages"

12. Plug in the usb transciever. If initialization was successful the

something like the following output will appear:

Jul 14 20:36:48 mythtv kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd address 2

Jul 14 20:36:48 mythtv kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61

Jul 14 20:36:48 mythtv kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 80

Jul 14 20:36:49 mythtv usb.agent : lirc_mceusb: loaded successfully

Jul 14 20:36:49 mythtv kernel: usbcore: registered new driver lirc_mceusb Jul 14 20:36:49 mythtv kernel: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.11.9-chw-2/ lirc-0.7.1/drivers/lirc_mceusb/ lirc_mceusb.c: USB Microsoft IR Transceiver Driver v0.2

and so on... Use CTRL+Z to get out of tail. Negative status or res values indicate errors.

14. Copy the remote config file over

cp /usr/src/linux/lirc-0.7.1/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb /etc/lircd.conf

15. Download this example lircrc file to these two places

cd /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc

wget http://geekstuff.no-ip.com/mythtv/lircrc

cd /home/mythtv/.lircrc

wget http://geekstuff.no-ip.com/mythtv/lircrc

16. chmod 666 /dev/lircd

18. Edit the /etc/init.d/lirc and replace all instances of

/usr/sbin/lircd with /usr/local/sbin/lircd

and

/usr/sbin/lircmd with /usr/local/sbin/lircmd

19. Type

/usr/sbin/update-rc.d lircd defaults to make lirc autostart on boot

19. If you didn't install MythTV using i686 support, you'll need to

install-i686-l this will re-install mythtv with native LIRC support built in.

20. Now restart the mythtvfrontend (or reboot), the MCE remote should work (hopefully!).
