[Please test] MCEUSB Remote not working #71

Closed c0rnflake closed 11 years ago

c0rnflake commented 11 years ago

OOTB my mceusb remote is not working as it should. The direction keys work, along with the enter key, but they are the only keys on the remote that work.

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Can you run the command

irw

and push buttons (including the direction buttons), are they recognized?

c0rnflake commented 11 years ago

yes, they are recognised. although I had to start lircd manually

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Then enable debugging in XBMC. Push the different buttons (that work and don't work) and watch at the log file*:

tail /home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

Can you post a few outputs (of working and non-working keys).

*Run this command a few times

the direction keys output this info in the debug log, the non working keys output nothing.

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Was lirc running again?

c0rnflake commented 11 years ago

It wasn't, I started it manually, the ouput doesn't change from above

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Does it still say Failed to connect to LIRC?

c0rnflake commented 11 years ago

No, no debug info saying unable to connect to lirc

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Does this work?

irw /dev/lircd

How did you start Lirc? Manually of through:

/etc/init.d/lirc start

If manually, can you start lirc with the above command?

c0rnflake commented 11 years ago

yes, once I run lircd manually

pkill lircd
/etc/init.d/lirc restart

Does it start normally?

done, rc_core is in use by mceusb

Try to restart lirc again. If it doesn't start replace

LOAD_MODULES=true

with

LOAD_MODULES=false

and try again.

The wierd thing is that when i use:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="-u"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
#START_IREXEC=true

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_dev mceusb"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""

Outputs:

/etc/init.d/lirc restart
[ ok ] Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC:.
[ ok ] Loading LIRC modules:.
[ ok ] Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC :.

So are you sure you used the exact same config?

Can you try again with this config and give the relevant part of dmesg.

c0rnflake commented 11 years ago

I've just copied and pasted the above config to hardware.conf and restarted lirc, this is the output and any lirc relevant dmesg output

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Also, can you post a full xbmc debug log on pastebin.

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

I don't get it why is fails at you're install but works with mine. Whats the current output of lsmod?

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Helpdesk is closing :p.

One last thing for now

/etc/init.d/lirc stop
mode2

While running press some buttons on you're remote and check if there is any output.

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

I also want to suggest to try some of these steps again with a clean install to make sure nothing else is causing these problems. It should just start with my suggested hardware.conf. Then we can focus on XBMC that's not able to open the LIRC socket.

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

What the status on this issue?

In case the issue is still open, did you guys try this: http://xbian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=928&start=10#p1421

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

This issue is fixed by using this hardware.conf:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS="-u"

#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD=false

#Don't start irexec, even if a good config file seems to exist.
#START_IREXEC=true

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="default"
# usually /dev/lirc0 is the correct setting for systems using udev
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_dev mceusb"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""

and then running this command (this will overwrite any custom configuration):

wget -O - https://raw.github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/xbian-alpha4/etc/lirc/lircd.conf > /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

then restarting lirc:

/etc/init.d/lirc restart

Check with irw if everything is working.

Can someone with a MCE remote provide me with a 'dmesg' output. I want to add auto-detection support in Lirc, but need to know what the dmesg is for this IR receiver.

@DraZtiK, can you test #170?

CurlyMoo commented 11 years ago

Can people with an mce usb remote test the latest config*:

sudo su
cd /home/xbian/
wget http://205.196.122.16/84it2oy6ylxg/vp94n8fnncv5nim/mceusb.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mceusb.tar.gz
reboot

_This will overwrite existing config. *_This also includes the testing of #170

for some reason using 

wget http://205.196.122.16/84it2oy6ylxg/vp94n8fnncv5nim/mceusb.tar.gz

doesn't work. But when I follow the link in a browser and copy the link and try using wget again it works.

wget http://205.196.122.16/84it2oy6ylxg/vp94n8fnncv5nim/mceusb.tar.gz

anyway...testing now.
