[mythtvnz] Myth not responding to remote

[James Booth]

The remote is working fine - running irw gives correct output. It seems
either the output from lircd is not getting to Myth, or Myth is not
responding to the input. I do not currently use the remote to control any
other apps (eg mplayer) so will try that when I get home to see if the issue
is specific to MythTV or a general problem.

 

Cheers.

Hmm,

I have a similar problem with another remote, the theme seems to be that I
have problems with the USB receiver no longer working.  I recall there is
something about them going to sleep or being disconnected after long periods
of inactivity?

if you go 

dmesg | grep disconnect

what do you get?

This could be an avenue to explore.

Cheers

Quoting Daniel Giddens <daniel at acsdata.co.nz>:

Make sure you have a .lircrc file in your home directory that myth runs
under.

It should have 

cat .lircrc
#Custom lircrc generated via mythbuntu-lirc-generator
#All application specific lircrc files are within ~/.lirc
include ~/.lirc/mythtv 
include ~/.lirc/mplayer 
include ~/.lirc/xine 
include ~/.lirc/vlc 
include ~/.lirc/xmame 
include ~/.lirc/xmess 
include ~/.lirc/totem 
include ~/.lirc/elisa

in it

Daniel

Nope, it's all good, and has not changed.
 
I should of mentioned that I am using JYA's repos.
