[mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 Remote not working

[Geoff]

Whoops forgot to say check your firmware is loading ok..

Power down, and power backup, and check what firmware you get on a cold boot

dmesg | grep -i dvb

Make sure you are using dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw
/lib/firmware

If you've got 1.20.fw in there, rename and create a symlink to .1.10.fw so you know that the only fw is the .1.10.

For the Nova T-500

Create a rule in udev

su gedit  /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver", SYMLINK+="input/irremote"

Reboot  I coulnd't get "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart"
Try replacing the event* with KERNEL=="input*" if event doesn't work.

Reboot and CHECK the var/log/syslog and make sure that lirc can get access to the /dev/input/eventxx

If this is in your syslog then shutdown.
[6589]: can't get exclusive access to events coming from `/dev/input/eventxx' interface

Power up and test the remote works via irw 
 irw
000000000001006c 00 ArrowDown NOVA-T500


If you're on ubuntu/mythbuntu running 8.10 then you'll need to edit the lirc.fi,  9.04 has the lirc.fdi masks already there.

Check the Info.product matches your ncase  settings in /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi

Edit your lirc.fdi file to match

/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/lirc.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
     <match key="info.product" contains_ncase="IR-Receiver inside an USB DVB receiver">
        <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
     </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
Restart lirc

Regards
Geoff

Hi all,

I am trying to get my new mythbox working and am stuck on the remote.

The IR-reciever doesnt seem to be present at all. It has no entries  
in /proc/bus/input/devices or dmesg as far as I can see.
Also, no LIRC modules appear to be loaded.

Its a brand new nova-t 500 with a black remote.
I have tried the LIRC repeated configs on mythkiwi.com to no avail

On the plus side, freeview is all going :p.

Any help world be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark
