Hi again,

Now armed with the info above we can add the Vendor/Product ID to the mce_usb device template on your Core and after a reload router it should be detected properly;

Got to Web Admin -> Advanced -> Configuration -> Device Templates

In the ID field to the left of the 'Go' button type the ID of the mce_usb2 template - 1862 and then click the 'Go' button. A new window will open to display the parameters of the Device Template. Scroll down to the section called 'Plug-n-Play' and find the last empty entry in that section - this where you will add the details of your MCE Transceiver. Add the following values to the fields for your MCE Transceiver;

From = 0
T0 = 0
PnP Protocol = Xap
Parms = 175|pci

Now add the Vendor/Prod ID data from the output of your lsusb command for the Pinnacle to the 'Vendor Model ID' field;

Vendor Model ID = 23040225 (**Notice you do not need the colon**)

Then in the 'Comment' field enter some text to identify the Transceiver;

Comment = MCE I/R receiver (Pinnacle)

Now lastly click save at the bottom of the page and then do a reload router. Now plug your Pinnacle transceiver into a usb port and it should get detected (you will see the detection and setup scripts run and be announced in the top left hand corner of the Orbiters screen... when everything has been setup you will see a message on screen confirming this and asking if you want to reload the router. Please click the reload button... and your Pinnacle transceiver should be working fine.

You can also see a short Wiki page I have added on doing the above here http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Adding_a_New_MCE_Compatible_Transceiver

All the best

Andrew

Ok, I saw the receiver become detected!  thank you!  how do I configure the buttons on the remote?

I would have responded sooner, but didn't notice that there was two pages to the post.  :)

Firstly in the Orbiter you should now have control... please test each button on the remote in the Orbiter to make sure it functions correctlt ie select Media -> Videos and choose a ripped DVD and play it etc etc.

List all buttons that do not respond here... and then we can see what to do about them (you should have all buttons working)

No buttons work...  All I seen was that the IR receiver was detected.  When I rebooted the machine later last night I saw that it had a progress bar starting the IR device, then it came to a black window with white lettering saying that the device did not start correctly and then clicked ok.  So I'm assuming the IR receiver didn't start correctly.

But following the directions you gave me did produce the little blue windows in the upper left saying it was detected earlier.

I have extended the wiki article to include a partially complete section on how to resolve Transceivers that still do not respond;

ps url above fixed now ;-)

When I clicked your link, it brought me to a page in the wiki that said "(There is currently no text in this page)"

not that obscure! just the 'r' missing off the end, a quick search would have found it easily enough :)

Yes, I found it.  been working on what you put in there. 

I wasn't getting a return from the command
Code: [Select]
modinfo lirc_mceusb2 | grep 2304
So I listed everything with the command:
Code: [Select]
modinfo lirc_mceusb2
Here is the output I get:

Sorry, just re-read your post on the Wiki and I guess I will have to recompile and add that vendor code in there.  Am I correct?

Correct. If the product or vendor ID you got from lsusb was "2304" as you mentioned in your post, then what modinfo is telling you is that that module (lirc_mceusb2), which is the driver, does not recognise that USB device as a device that it is able to drive, thus it doesn't load up to drive it and nothing will happen.

You can download the source code, edit the appropriate file to add a new "alias" line that has that product/vendor ID, then recompile and copy the new binary over the old (after backing it up of course!). Then modprobe it into the kernel (ie load the module).

You can find similar instructions on doing this for a PCI device here ... http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/R8168

Obviously, you can't follow that article precisely, nor use that patch. You will have to infer from it, and manually edit the .c file using nano or joe, as a text file to add the new alias line.

Ok, understood.  I did a little digging and found this...  do you think it would work for the version of Kubuntu that LinuxMCE 710 DVD loads?

Its a patch to that module, but there's nothing inside that patch that implies it will do anything helpful in your case. It only appears to be adding the Pinacle vendor and product IDs, not yours. But the principle is the same.

I'm still looking for the correct procedure to modifying the source and rebuilding the project of LIRC for this version of Kubuntu.  If anyone has suggestions on how to do this, I'm all ears (or eyes)...

Ok, so I have followed your instructions and I have modified the .c file to include the line for my remote.  I am looking at the INSTALL file for instructions on how to build and install the modified code.  it runs the configure routine and brings me to an ASCII style screen and asks me to select a driver.  I scroll down to USB and then inside there I don't have an option for my remote or the mceusb2 driver.  What selection should I choose?
