All, Thanks for all the replies. I am experiencing exactly the same problem, it works sometimes and I am using the blatter.com driver. I have mailed Martin Blatter for some help, here is his response. I tried what he suggested but no joy my end. I hope he doesn't mind being pasted here but I thought it might give someone ideas on how to fix it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Hi Cenk I have a similar problem in 1 out of 20 cases with my Shuttle XPC. The only thing that helps is switching off the PC, turning off power completely by unplugging the power and then turning everything on again. The USB device is just not recognized by the hardware or the operating system therefore the driver is not even loaded at all. Try to issue a "lsmod" if it happens again and check if lirc_dev and lirc_mceusb are loaded. Check if the Transciever shows up with "lsusb -v". If it doesn't show up I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done in the driver - newer kernel version *might* fix this but it could also be a hardware issue. If lirc_mceusb shows up in lsmod's output, check /var/log/messages. Try to turn debugging on in /etc/modprobe.conf to get more ouptout. regards Martin ============================================================================ ========================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Limonciello Sent: 31 May 2005 18:07 To: Discussion about mythtv Cc: James Oltman Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Re: New MCE 2005 Remote haha, cowards way out..... Well, I also have an audigy2, with a remote which works too. The only problem with it is that there is a delay from button press to being recognized which I'm pretty sure is a hardware limitation of the receiver. Do you by some chance have access to a machine with Media Center 2005 on it? Apparantly, the drivers are only included in MCE2005, but I would gander if you copy the files over to another XP machine - you could probably force the driver to work on a different machine. If so, I'd love to grab a copy of the drivers used for this remote in windows, to compare USB output and see what I can do to help the developer of this MCE2005 driver to fjix this issue.
