hvr-1100 is not configured properly

I've managed to get a prober hardware.conf file by changing a line in lirc.hwdb

I replaced the line 79

Hauppauge HVR-1100;hauppauge;lirc_dev lirc_i2c;hw_default;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge;

with

Hauppauge HVR-1100;devinput;none;hw_devinput;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge;

bzr #19

I tried Lucas solution, replacing line 79 in lirc.hwdb: result, the remote does not work anymore.

If I use the Nova T500 or 1100, the remote act the same: only very few keys are recognized by lirc

Mario says: the bug it is fixed - does not seems so...
My installed version is 0.8.3-0ubuntu7.1 (latest), on mythbuntu 8.04 with latest weekly patch

Davias:

The bug is fixed in Intrepid. The hardy packages are still affected by
this.

It should work doing that :

Replacing line 79
Hauppauge HVR-1100;hauppauge;lirc_dev lirc_i2c;hw_default;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge;
with
Hauppauge HVR-1100;devinput;none;hw_devinput;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge;

When asked:

 Many remotes that were previously supported by the lirc_gpio interface │
  │ now need to be set up via the dev/input interface. You will need to │
  │ custom select your remote's event character device. This can be │
  │ determined by 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'. │
  │ │
  │ Select your custom event interface for your dev/input device: │
  │ │
  │ /dev/lirc0 ↑ │
  │ /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:04:01.2--event-ir ▮ │
  │ /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd ▒ │
  │ /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse ▒ │
  │ /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-mouse ▒ │
  │ /dev/input/by-path/platform-pcspkr-event-spkr ▒ │
  │ /dev/input/event0

You have to choose :

  /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:04:01.2--event-ir

Thanks Lucas, but it does exactly the same as Nova500 settings: it works, but only some buttons. The strange is that if you try from the lirc console text mode, every key works ok. It is mythbuntu specific.

Guess I will wait for Intrepid - hopefully tuning the HVR1100 will work better too in that release...

It's strange, are you sure you have a .lircrc file properly configured ?

I've just installed Intrepid alpha 6 and the remote control is still not working.
The line in lirc.hwdb is :

Hauppauge HVR-1100;hauppauge;devinput;hw_devinput;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge;

And it should be:

Hauppauge HVR-1100;devinput;none;hw_devinput;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge;

But it looks the devinput driver is not working properly in intrepid.

To update this:

The remote control works with this line :

"Hauppauge HVR-1100;devinput;none;hw_devinput;hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge" in lirc.hwdb
but it now also works using the "Linux input layer (/dev/input/eventX) " remote control.

But it looks there 's a problem when X is launch. See my other bug report. Thanks

No, it still does not work on Mythbuntu 8.10 - I've tried all Hauppage settings and above modification to lirc.hwdb
lircd version is still 0.8.3
 What can I try?

Go see this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/164627

I've replaced "IR-Receiver" by "cx88 IR" in the lirc.fdi file the are talking about.

Hope that will help you.

This bug is 8 years old, The primary culprits hald and hardware.conf are gone and this bugf shouldI MHO be closed.

closing then
