[mythtvnz] Strange Lirc or remotes problem on two different machines running same software and serial receiver

[Tim Wiel]

*Introduction:* We have two different machines running Mythbuntu 8.04 
and all are running the same lirc version (Version: 
0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7.1) and exactly the same mythtv frontend version 
(Version: 0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3.1).

*Details: *The two use both use /lirc_dev lirc_serial/ modules and a 
technisat serial receiver as the receiving hardware.

The working one with serial - is running as just a frontend and the 
other one is running both frontend and backends. However I don't believe 
this is the problem. In my experience serial hardware lirc is completely 
seperate from the what mythtv cards, backend or frontend are installed, 
etc. But for the record the non working box has two Hauppauge Nova-T 
cards in it but is using the serial port receiver from a technisat as we 
have had no problems with this receiver up til now (in 6 or more boxes 
it has worked straight up using the hardware.conf and lircd.conf I have 
created).

The remotes being used are all the new black Hauppauge remotes and 
running irw from commandline on both the boxes results in commands being 
sent from the remote to commandline ( ie the remote commands are all 
being received).

*Problem: *The box not working properly has the playback control keys at 
the top of remote (ie play, pause, fast forward, rewind, etc) not being 
recognised in mythtv however they appear in the irw with the correct 
codes for .lircrc file. All the other buttons work fine. Remembering the 
lircd.conf and .lircrc are both the same on the machines and exist in 
all the right places.


Any ideas where I should look for problems next.

I have attached the lircd.conf and the lircrc file.
