Title:
  lircd doesn't find dvico usb IR remote device correctly (expects
  /dev/lirc)

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Expired
Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  A while back my DVICO usb (sometime during gutsy) remote stopped
  working, and I have only got around to fixing it on my upgraded hardy
  system.

  It appears that the dvico usb remote creates a device on
  /dev/usb/hiddev1, but lircd expects the remote to be on /dev/lirc ,
  and as a result I could no longer control my mythbuntu installation
  with the remote control.

  After a bit of googling ( http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_LIRC
  #DVICO_FusionHDTV_DVB-T_Plus_IR_Remote ) and 'cat /dev/usb/hiddev1'
  revealed the real address of the remote. In order to work around this
  problem I edited /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and replaced REMOTE_DEVICE=""
  with REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev1".

  I've only got irw to work at this stage, but getting the media centre
  control back shouldn't be too hard from here in.

  I'm not sure what files may be useful in diagnosing this problem, so
  please let me know what would help and I can add it here.
