I've been searching around the net, and there are threads about Streamzaps, but all of them mention having to apply patches to the kernel or to the lirc source. Versions mentioned to which patches actually apply are much older than what I have. I've got kernel 2.6.12-1.1376_FC3 and lirc 0.7.2 sources (which come with a lirc_streamzap module). Is it possible to get the Streamzap to work with this software or should I just give up and buy something else? Right now this is the ONLY thing stopping me from deploying an otherwise well- working front end in the TV room which might get the WAF above 0. Without a working remote, it's useless in the TV room, and she hates watching TV in the computer room on the monitor (no comfy couches in here :-)
I can get the lirc_streamzap module loaded, I have a lircd.conf file that supposedly works with this thing: # this config file was automatically generated # using lirc-0.7.1-CVS(serial) on Fri Feb 4 23:20:56 2005 # # contributed by Christoph Bartelmus # # brand: Streamzap # model no. of remote control: PC Remote # devices being controlled by this remote: USB receiver # I can start up lircd, and connect to it with irw, and when I press buttons, I see the red light on the receiver blinking, but irw has no output at all. If it's too much trouble to get the Streamzap to work, what other kind of IR receiver and remote would be better for Myth with the lirc and kernel versions that I have? I could use a USB, serial, or parallel device as long as it will work with Linux/Myth without a lot of time and frustration. Thanks, --Greg
