Note, using the configuration settings that I give with these instructions, require that you slightly change your ~/.lirc/mythtv file that we edited above.
Here are instructions on how to get a Harmony One Universal Remote control working with your MythTV box. Make sure you have already rebooted your computer to get the remote working right. To do this, go to Utilities/Setup -> Edit Keys and find the following keys under JumpPoints and set a new binding by pressing the corresponding button on the remote. The last step is to make sure the coloured buttons on the remote work. Note that if you have a strange setup and your main DVD drive is not /dev/sr0, you will need to change this accordingly.Īfter you have completed all of the above, restart your computer (this is very important, otherwise your remote control buttons might not actually work). These need to go in ~/Scripts and you need to chmod +x them. We need to setup two irexec scripts for use with irexec. They were adapted from a conversation on : Step 3 - irexec Files Make sure to replace 'user' with your username (not mythtv).Ī few notes about the above keys. Now make a new file (or edit the old one) ~/.lirc/irexec with the following contents. Here is what my button configuration looks like, this should work for you as well: To do this, go ahead and edit this file: ~/.lirc/mythtvTo edit, go to a terminal window and type 'gedit ~/.lirc/mythtv' (without quotes), or if you use vim 'vim ~/.lirc/mythtv' Under the 'Remote Control' screen, change the LIRC daemon socket to '/dev/lircd' Step 2 - Button ConfigurationĪfter you have performed the above, you'll have to configure your buttons to work properly with MythTV. MythTV Frontend -> Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> General If all goes well, you should be seeing key presses output. Now that we have finished the configuration for LIRC, type in 'irw' (without the quotes) in the terminal, press the mouse/keyboard toggle button on your controller (mine was right below the stop button), and start pressing buttons on your remote. Mine was 'event4,' so I selected that on the last screen. Here is the information I got from running that (note the 'event4' which is what I selected then): Now, in a separate terminal window (Open a new one by clicking on 'File,' 'Open Terminal'), perform the following command to find out which event your remote is on: If you have an IR transmitter (I didn't), go ahead and select that on the next screen You'll get a configuration window within your terminal window. In the same terminal window, perform the following::
Then you want to reinstall LIRC so that we can have the configuration settings come up and we can configure lIRC. Open up a terminal, and type the following in:
Un-install LIRC so that any errors that were going on before won't come up. The volume knob on the Antec Case should work right out of the box. So just follow the below directions to get you up and running.
If you're doing a fresh install of Mythbuntu 10.10, there is no configuration to set what /dev/input/eventX device you want to utilize. It also includes instructions to get the LCD up and running. Note that I used Mythbuntu 10.10, but any type of Ubuntu 10.10 should also work with this setup instructions. There is also a section describing how to setup a Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Controller that works with this setup.
This page contains all of the files and information I needed to get my Antec Fusion Case (Black finish, uses the newer iMon LCD 15c2:0038) and it's included Veris RM200 remote working. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Imon.
