Hi,
I would like to know which kind of infrared receiver driver I have to choose in "media director" wizard.
I've check driver on system logs and used ifconfig to check dongle. Everything seems ok:
irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 00:00:00:00
UP RUNNING NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1
RX packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:46 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:8
RX bytes:990 (990.0 b) TX bytes:326 (326.0 b)
Regards
I don't think the SigmaTel stir4200 dongle can receive remote control signals (RC4/RC5). It uses the irda-protocol to exchange data with a pda or mobile phone...or am I wrong?
Carsten
effectively,
It runs well with my pda. So do you know what is the right one ?
I saw the IRTrans USB Module ou GC-100 and they seem to be well managed by pluto. Do you know if there are other devices ?
Regards,
Antoine
irtrans and tira are directly supported and work perfectly. gc100 is only for sending--not receiving i/r codes. a user 'john' as i recall also makes a u.s. product (usb-irt or similar) and said he's doing an interface (he posted about it in the forums).
any lirc-compatible one will also work, although we found the quality of recognition varies a lot which is why we built direct support for irtrans and tira.
