Looks like you need to power down for a little longer to get a COLD state,
that way you'll get the .10.fw loaded.

>[   10.340033] dvb-usb: found a 'Hauppauge Nova-TD-500 (84xxx)' in warm
state.

 

You should have an entry the syslog [   24.787147] input: IR-receiver inside
an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input8

 

Post the output of an ls -l /dev/input and /dev/input/by-path

That will check the udev is working, and that you actually have the device
showing up

If it's not showing up in the by-path and I'd try switching the card to
another PCI slot. maybe a interrupt conflict?

Thanks for the help, unfortunately no improvement.
I fixed the firmware. No change.
Tried your suggested udev rules however no nodes turned up in /dev/input/.
I am on ubuntu/mythbuntu 9.04 so shouldn't need the hal fix but tried it
anyway. No luck.

Here are the outputs from some relivant commands:

My dmesg | grep -i dvb is

Any other suggestions?

Again, thanks for your help.

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

Subject: [mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 Remote not working

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
