Hi.
I’ve been trying to configure lirc and lirc support for vlc, without success so far.
Here’s what I’ve got:
OS: openSuSE 11.1
lirc: 0.8.4-1.18
vlc: 0.9.9a
My /etc/lirc/lircd.conf (copied from /usr/share/lirc/remotes/streamzap/lircd.conf.streamzap):
#

My ~/.lircrc:
begin
prog = vlc
button = play
config = key-play-pause
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = pause
config = key-play-pause
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = stop
config = key-stop
end
begin
prog = vlc

config = key-jump+medium
end
begin

button = replay
config = key-jump-short
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = forward

end
begin
prog = vlc
button = rewind

end
begin
prog = vlc

config = key-nav-up
end
begin
prog = vlc

config = key-crop
end
I know my remote is being recognized by lirc, because if I cat /dev/lirc, I see that my button presses in the remote are being recognized, and if I do “dmesg |grep lirc”, the output is:
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
lirc_streamzap-1]: Streamzap, Inc. Streamzap Remote Control on usb2:2 attached
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_streamzap
lirc_streamzap $Revision: 1.29 $ registered
I start lircd in no-daemon mode, and after starting vlc (with lirc control enabled), I see the lirc daemon output:
lircd-0.8.4[7601]: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
But pressing the buttons on the remote don’t do anything.
What am I doing wrong?? :?
