Can I use /dev/input/event2 with LIRC?
If so, can I use irexec (with lirc) to macro some system calls while the remote plugin (under VDR) is already running?
I guess I'm asking, can LIRC and the remote plugin work simultaneously?
I have a Happauge Nova-T with the card-connected IR receiver...
Thanks

I demand that Simon Baxter may or may not have written...

Yes. In /etc/lirc/hardware.conf: DRIVER="dev/input" DEVICE="dev/input/event2" MODULES=""

Potentially, yes, but there appears to be some O_EXCL usage going on. (And you'd need to be careful of them both doing something with any given keypress.)

You should not use the Remote plugin and LIRC with the same input device. (Of course, there is no problem if you have two different devices.)
So if you are running LIRC on /dev/input/event2, you should use LIRC to control vdr.
