I'm using a lirc setup with inputlircd daemon with a hauppauge remote on a dvb card. Everything works with the remote plugins using /dev/ input/eventX, but I'm trying to share the remote with several applications.
For some reason when trying to learn keys with LIRC, when I'm running the inputlircd daemon, VDR refuses to react to them. I can see the keys being interpreted properly with irw. Does anyone know why this can be?

I use a small self build IR receiver which works perfectly. See: http://lirc.org/receivers.html http://lirc.org/images/schematics.gif
Best regards, Matthias

Have you tried inputlirc? It's a LIRC emulator for input devices so you can use it with any LIRC client without having to patch and configure lircd.

Inputlirc and inputlircd are the same? I'm using inputlircd at the moment.

Oops, I didn't let your message filter into my brain properly. I just assumed you wouldn't be using that because it seems quite obscure unless you're using Debian.

The keycodes that vdr doesn't recognize (as output by irw) are:
2 0 KEY_1 event1 3 0 KEY_2 event1 4 0 KEY_3 event1 5 0 KEY_4 event1 6 0 KEY_5 event1 6 0 KEY_5 event1 7 0 KEY_6 event1 8 0 KEY_7 event1 9 0 KEY_8 event1 a 0 KEY_9 event1 a 0 KEY_9 event1 b 0 KEY_0 event1 8b 0 KEY_MENU event1 ae 0 KEY_EXIT event1 18e 0 KEY_RED event1 71 0 KEY_MUTE event1 cf 0 KEY_PLAY event1 80 0 KEY_STOP event1
Any idea? Is there any mask of some sort in VDR that prevents certain keycodes to be recognized?
(I'm using inputlircd daemon).

I know my last reply was completely useless, but...
With LIRC clients don't you have to provide a lircrc with entries to map each key to a command for each application? Have you checked your lircrc is OK? Or should the keycodes get passed straight on to the client (VDR) if you don't provide lircrc entries for it?
