I somehow always procrastinated the installation of my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 IR remote because it somehow didn’t work out of the box, but today I took another shot at it and was surprised how easy it all turned out to be!<\/p>\n
The first thing you need to realize, is that you need to install a kernel module: lirc_i2c. Unfortunately, due to a string length being shortened<\/a> in recent kernel, the suse provided kernel module does not work! Instead, grab a freshly compiled one from here<\/a>. After having this installed, you should already have a working remote! (you might want to tweak your \/etc\/sysconfig\/lirc : choose the hauppauge driver and the lirc_i2c module, but the defaults seemed to work too). You can test your remote by doing a cat \/dev\/lirc and pressing some remote buttons.<\/p>\n Easy, no? \ud83d\ude42 The rest is application specific configuration \ud83d\ude09 Be sure to have a look at KDE’s infra-red app, IRKick, which does a great job at binding through DCOP!<\/p>\n One thing to note though, is that the default lirc config is supposed to create a device \/dev\/lircd from \/dev\/lirc when starting lircd, but in my case, it wouldn’t do that until I specifically told it to create that one through the –output param (only had to do this once).<\/p>\n I was greatly helped by the following sources: mythtv 1<\/a>, 2<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I somehow always procrastinated the installation of my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 IR remote because it somehow didn’t work out of the box, but today I took another shot at it and was surprised how easy it all turned out to be!
