[Bug 459021] Re: Remote control commands not processed

 

I use the same remote control, i.e. "VLSystem_MPlay_Blast", for XBMC on
Ubuntu 10.10. It stopped working about half a year ago (I was on 10.04
then). I had almost given up on this one but tonight I thought I should
give it another go.

Just now I tried irrecord and got the same message as Mricka above,
i.e.:

"irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(lirc@xxxxxxxxxxxx)

irrecord: could not get hardware features
irrecord: this device driver does not support the LIRC ioctl interface
irrecord: major number of /dev/ttyUSB0 is 188
irrecord: LIRC major number is 61
irrecord: check if /dev/ttyUSB0 is a LIRC device
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions)"

What really surprised me though was that after that XBMC started working
with the remote. Anyone with an idea about why that is? It's a bit late
but I will try tomorrow again and see if I can repeat this.
