Hi,
I've recently decided to try xineliboutput over my usual choice of xine plugin.
So far I've pretty happy with it but can't for the life of me get the lirc forwarding to work.
Lirc is installed, the controller is setup and tested to work (it's an mceusb2).
Vdr is compiled with lirc support, when I start it the lircd reports that a client connected to the device.
I copied the example remote.conf from xineliboutput to vdr's config directory.
When I start vdr-sxfe with --lirc and --verbose it starts and shows me the tv.
When I click 'up' on the remote (which is one of the buttons configured in the example remote.conf) VDR does nothing, a look at the console shows that vdr-sxfe caught the lirc call and dealt with it. It seems it's not getting to vdr. It's the same with any button I press, whether it's in remote.conf or not.
The keyboard (also configured in the remote.conf example) works fine and I can control VDR perfectly with it.
Have I missed a step? The instructions regarding the use of lirc with xineliboutput were pretty short.
Any help greatfully appreciated. Let me know if you need me to provide any config files, etc.
Cheers,
Alex
err yeah, I'm an idiot.
I got the two columns the wrong way around in the remote.conf. Had the lirc remote calls in the left hand one and the vdr commands to call in the left.
Once I sorted that out I got confused that for every key press I made it did two. That I realised was because whilst vdr-sxfe was passing the lirc command, vdr was also capturing it from /dev/lircd itself.
I solved this by starting vdr with --lirc=/dev/null if anyone knows a better way let me know but it works so I'm happy.
Cheers,
Alex

still an idiot, that should have read:
