Hi,
I had Windows Mediacenter remote up and running, but all of the sudden it stopped working.
After some research this is the case:
In LMCE admin I have added 2 remotes, even defined a new remote with pasted config in config parameter, which generates the correct remote config in /etc/lircd.conf:

However, LMCE starts lircd with device paramter /dev/lirc0:
"lircd -H default -d /dev/lirc0 /etc/lircd.conf"
I have following lirc modules loaded:
lirc_mod_mce 17540 0
lirc_mceusb2 11908 0
lirc_imon 15236 1
lirc_dev 15988 3 lirc_mod_mce,lirc_mceusb2,lirc_imon
usbcore 134280 7 lirc_mod_mce,lirc_mceusb2,usbhid,lirc_imon,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
The thing is, /dev/lirc0 is the Ante Fusion Wheel / iMon Knob, Microsoft MCE Remote IR Reicever is at /dev/lirc1
I have created aliases /dev/lirc_mce and /dev/lirc_imon using udev config, and this works. I have tested starting a second LIRCD manually with device param /dev/lirc_mce and tested using "irw" which then prints the actions defined for MCE remote in lircd.conf correctly. However, while running a second LIRCD this does not make my MCE remote function in LMCE.
How do I make this work? How do I tell LMCE / Pluto LIRC which devices I have and what mappings should be done for each of them. And how do I make sure LMCE receives the LIRC signals from a possibly second LIRCD ?
How do I make LMCE start LIRCD with other device paramteres? It seems to ignore my settings made in
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="--device=/dev/lirc_mce"
#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER=""
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/lirc_mce"
MODULES=""
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lircd.conf"
LIRCMD_CONF=""
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any tips is appreciated. I have found lots of howtos on how to make this work if I run /etc/init.d/lircd daemon, but this does not help for LMCE / Pluto.
Please advice, appreciate it!
