Hi all!
I have an old Pace MSS series remote laying around from the days when analog satellite receivers and videocrypt were young and beautiful.
The remote has quite many nice buttons, and I thought that it would be really nice to use it for VDR. My problem is that VDR (through lirc) does not recognise any of the buttons when I want to learn VDR this remote. When using the commandline tool that displays the key codes (don't remember the name of it, maybe mm-something??), I'll get an output on all keys.
Is there something special with these remotes that makes VDR incapable of recognizing this remote, or has maybe to do with my lirc-setup?
My current remote from an sony television works perfectly with VDR
Regards,
René

You mean irrecord, right? Or is there some other program with which you can test unconfigured remotes?

irw (for configured/partially configured remote) ?

Yes, i think that was the name of the program.. I can't check it until tomorrow evening...
My main concern was that VDR does not accept any button from the Pace remote when in learning-mode... All other remotes do work (Denon, Sony, Salora, Panasonic..)..
Could it be some kind of sequences that get stuck?

Hmm, that's interesting. Does the VDR accept unconfigured (lircd.conf) remotes in the learning mode? I thought it doesn't and you'd need to run irrecord first. Correct me if I'm wrong.
