Mythbuntu MythTV and transmitting and receiving IR


Turns out that the remote worked like a dream, but once the remote was operating smoothly the IR Blaster stopped working. After further testing it appeared that I could only get ONE device to work at a time- whichever device was operating on /dev/lircd.

BAH.

After much research, turns out there is an issue in the script that resides at /etc/init.d/lirc. Who knew?.

Fixed that one line by hand, restarted lirc, and BOOM- remote is working like a champ.

He has totally geeked-out with MythTV via Mythbuntu, a flavor of Ubuntu with MythTV built into it. His Myth setup is an Intel Pentium D running at 2.8ghz with 2TBs of storage for music and tv/movies and 3 capture cards: 1 Hauppauge HVR-1250 for HD broadcasts, 1 PVR-150 for cable direct, and 1 PVR-150 from a Set-top-box. NERD!
