lx_cool_j Wrote:thank you @TheHeadGear,
there was a copy/paste error in my tutorial... i changed the lines regarding lircstart.sh in my post to the code i use. hope, it works now.

this could also be the solution for @anton610

lx_cool_j Wrote:add the following code (IMPORTANT: the entry has to be written before "exit 0") to
/etc/rc.local

Code:

./home/[xbmc-user]/lircstart.sh

read out the event numbers for your hid:

Code:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

you get something like this (i only copied the important entries containing Name="HID...):

Code:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=05a4 Product=9881 Version=0110
N: Name="HID 05a4:9881"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:04.0-3/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/input/input3
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd [b]event3[/b]
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=e080ffdf 1cfffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=05a4 Product=9881 Version=0110
N: Name="HID 05a4:9881"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:04.0-3/input1
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.1/input/input4

B: KEY=1f0000 0 2020000 3878 d801d001 1e0000 0 0 0
B: REL=103
B: MSC=10

event3 and event4 are the two important entries from the cat we made before that we need in the next step. they could be different on your system.

create a file
/home/[xbmc-user]/lircstart.sh

please note that the code change from dec 17, 2009. the old code contained a copy/paste error...

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/etc/init.d/lirc stop
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/event3 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc1.pid --listen=9988;
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/event4 --pidfile=/var/run/lirc2.pid --connect=localhost:9988;

be careful to change event3 and event4 to the event numbers you got for your system.
