Have not tried out your suggestion yet, as I am not in front of a pc, but my receiver is plugged into the pc via usb and gets recognised as /dev/hiddev0.

Will this require me to change your set serial scripts? (do I need them at all) and also how would I find the irq and io information?

So I tried setting a serial port by editing the receiver and adding #64 Serial port(string) and I added a default value of 0

In regards to the receiver I added a new receiver as default was not starting up and my receiver needs the dvico driver to work.

I have already created a template for the remote and added #59 Configuration(string) with default value the whole lirc file that works for me at the shell prompt.

Any direction on what to do next or what log files I can look at. I tried having a look at some log files, but it says that they do not exist.

nope... still can't get that to work

- in the web admin select the infrared receiver for your md (i use default for my serial dongle)

problem is my receiver won't start up with this option

also where do I find

DEVICE_NUMBER_of_ the_receiver

to try the manual commands. Also it seems that the dvico driver is not in the drop down in the admin page, but is in the lircd list of supported drivers

any ideas???

I have a dvico lite DVB digital tuner card, which I have set up with mythtv and seems to operate fine. I am having lots of trouble with the remote though and I have read various posts to try and get it to work with linuxmce.

I really like linuxmce, but would love to get something as simple as remote control working.

I have edited the /etc/lircd.conf and /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and now can get all of the correct buttons working in a shell prompt if I go to KDE desktop and type "irw" in a shell.

adam@dcerouter:~$ irw
0001004600000af9 00 power DVICO
00010046000011f9 00 1 DVICO
00010046000019f9 00 9 DVICO
0001004600001bf9 00 record DVICO
00010046000002f9 00 volup DVICO
0001004600001ff9 00 playpause DVICO
0001004600001ef9 00 stop DVICO
0001004600001ef9 01 stop DVICO
0001004600001df9 00 ff DVICO
0001004600001cf9 00 rew DVICO

My problem is that the control has no response at all in the linux mce interface. Is there a manual file that I need to edit. I have followed the guides that I can find on the wiki, but maybe I missed something.

guides I have (tried to...) followed;

http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Add_support_for_new_remote_controls
http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Control_LinuxMCE_using_an_Infrared_remote
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/#remote
Although I haven't patched anything at all default lirc as intalled from linuxmce cds



Any help much appreciated.
