Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Yeah I have been thinking little section in the application where is FAQ and latest upgrades as well. But for now I'm trying to make the debian package proper. At now all files are under /opt with wrong permissions so unfortunately I'm most likely going have the change all file directories again to under /user. Just waiting experts to confirm my solution that I don't make wrong kind of package again :D

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

i have a question guys, how do you know w/c remote code to use? like on one brand there's lots to choose and too time consuming to test every one of those...

sorry if it's been discussed but the thread is too long to read...

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Is it safe to uninstall the LIRC server v 0.8.0b-1fremantle30? Tested qtirreco some weeks back and it didn't work; I wasn't sure if lirc was installed along with it.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

I guess they just to try pick the closest one to their original remote.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

I look at the remote or the TV to find the model number of the remote or device. Then Google it to see if I can find the remote, then I look in the database. If there isn't one, I try the next appropriate model.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

-------------IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT---------------

The next release of this software will clear all your previous remotes,lirc devices and themes you have downloaded or created. Unfortunate, but has to be done to get file priviledges correct. So if you have recorded your own remotes or just want to save some old remotes you will have to move them before installing new version. And for almost sure I will have to clear user remote database once again. Let's hope this will be the last time for this issues. I'm not sure when im going to push the new package but lets say in one week.

All the files in current version are found in /opt/qtirreco

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

I dont think that it comes with qtirreco.. atleast with latest version. Anyway I have had it too and removed it. If you need it you find it in app manager and can istall it back.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Hi there,

maybe im blind or dumb but I can't find a way to scoll the remote when there are more buttons than there's room for them on the screen. I'd like to use the loewe TV 150 for my TV and can use only the most bosic funktions ATM. Am I missing something? If not consider this a feature request *grin*

Regards,
Glasswalker

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Yes good point, first I thought about sizing the buttons, but for finger they are good size now, so let's hope I can make some sweet solution to have several layouts for remote to have more buttons in use that way.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

it worker for me before but with last uptate it doent work for me,

hi im tryin to go to /opt/qtirreco/Remotes/ but in that directory is only themes directory i intalled package othe time but dont have Remotes directory any sugestion...

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Changelog

qtirreco (0.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Select buttons for remote dialog now has option to select all the buttons.
* Fixed optify once again. Default theme goes under /opt/qtirreco/themes/
* Executable goes in /opt/maemo/usr/bin/
* All the other files are found under /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/
* Fixed some memory leaks.
* User remote database cleared.
* Fixed some streaming when downloading remote.

So those files are under /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/

Please inform me if you find out what was wrong with the files.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

A resize of the buttons seems not neccesary from my point of view, "just" make the remote scrollable if there are more buttons selectet for the remote than there is space on the screen. I'm no programmer but i suppose this should be the easyest way to handle large remotes, please correct me if I'm wrong :-)

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Yes I am already into that solution, coming out soon ;)

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Big thanks from Germany :-)

Now I need to find a preset for my multimedia HDD wich uses a no-name remote. Can't do this myself as I don't have an IR-receiver... oh well, wait and see...

Thanks again,
Glasswalker

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

ups socket error!!

i deleted etc/init.d/lirc

now obiusly it doesnt work, how can i get the files allocated there?

well is an script can anyone postme the script, tnx.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Can u get lirc back with apt-get install lirc in X-terminal ? If it says lirc is installed try dpkg -r lirc before that.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

qtirreco is still a nonworking application with lirc.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

when i try apt-get install lirc it says you have the last version and when i try dpkg -r lirc it says dependenci error because i have installed qtirreco so i unistalled qtirreco and aldo did dpkg --purge lirc and then apt-get install lirc
and now i have lirc but whe i go to /etc/init.d/ and i do lirc start it says -sh: lirc: not fount.

i do a find / -iname lirc and i have now

/etc/lirc
/etc/init.d/lirc
/usr/include/lirc
/home/opt/maemo/usr/include/lirc

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

well now is installed because qtirreco dondt say socket error, but still doesnt work.

-update my etc/lircd.conf is empty

i checked Remotes and Devices and it sems ok what i have to write in lircd.conf can you write me an example?

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

i cant download a remote with my 3g (three uk) but it works fine on wifi, making it useless when im out. anyone else having this problem?

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

You should have all Devices included there like this:

include "/home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/<devicename>"

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

tnx for your help now it works again....:)
but i have to fill the lirc.conf manually i checket permisions of that file and have all permisions, when i create new remote on qtirreco it doest write to lircd.conf like before, it fills remotes and devices but not lircd.conf...

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Application is supposed to write those include lines there when downloading new remotes. My lircd.conf file has these rights:

-rw-rw-rw- user root

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

well it works perfect now.. i tell what i did:
1. i unistalled qtirreco by command dpkg --purge qtirreco
2. i removed all directory in /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco with command rm -r qtirreco (some files still there)
3.i removed all directory in /home/user/MyDocs/irreco with command rm -r irreco
(was unistalled before but files still there so i deleted)
4.i did an init 6 to reload
5.i did an apt-get install qtirreco. (when i did this command at the end displays changing paths in lircd.conf to proper one)

and now works like before.tnx to nirpe for your help.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Well.. took me awhile to get it working but I am pleased to say I can now control both my tv and xbox via the n900 thanks to all the helpful people in this thread!

However, I still have an Audio Research amp that I'd love to control with the n900 (not gonna happen methinks) and an Oppo SACD/dvd player.

Ive managed to find IR Remote codes for the Oppo player on their site: http://www.oppodigital.com/dv980h/do...e%20dv980h.xls

Is it possible to use those codes to create a remote that would work in Qtirreco? It'd be mega awesome if that was possible, though I most likely lack the expertise to do it - I was wondering if anyone could help out?

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

You can try if it works. Some instructions:

1. Make file Oppo to /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/
2. Copy some other device content to that file and change lines to proper one. Important lines are after begin remote. Insert name Oppo in next line. Then after begin codes try first one command like: Power 0x1A
3. Then add include in /etc/lircd.conf like other ones are for that Oppo
4. Finally try if it works. And if so you can send me that Device file so I upload it to database so other users can have that too if needed.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Does anyone know if I can control my gate with qtirreco ? It obviously has some simple code but I am not sure how to set this up.........:o

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Are you sure it uses infra red? I thought most gate/garage controls used RF.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

No I'm not sure that it uses IR ( I was under the impression that it used IR because it has a code)....I will find out today! Many thanks for your reply :)

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Hi, I can't seem to get QtIrecco to play nice with the Shutter desktop widget. It doesn't seem to matter what order I install things, with both apps installed, Shutter always says "IRSend failed".

I tried the following steps:

• aptg-get remove --purge lirc
• reboot
• install Shutter 1.0.0-2 (+ lirc)
• reboot
• all is well and Shutter does it's thing
• install QtIrreco (0.3.0-1)
• reboot
• QtIrreco is ok but Shutter starts to fail

Switching which one I install first makes no difference and whenever I install QtIrecco the command

throws up tons of warning about not being able to load the camera config files, but it works just fine if I only install Shutter.

Removing just QtIrecco once installed does not fix the problem and I have to "purge" lirc again.

Any ideas?

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

OK, call me thick, but exactly what files do i need to install on my N900 to use this app?

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Does anybody have workong lirc configs files for me?
(/etc/lirc/lircd.conf & /etc/lirc/hardware.conf)

thx busa

Qtirecco Problems???
 

Hi guys!
I know there's other topics on here to do with the same thing but i'm quite new to testing stuff and don't really wanna screw my phone up, so i'm afraid i need more child like advice in step by step form on how to sort my problem out.

I installed qtirecco a few days ago n it worked a real treat untill i tried it yesterday n it stopped working for no reason. i've done nothing to my phone to cause this? checked with a camera n no light emitted from the ir port. I uninstalled n reinstalled but still doesn't work.
I know others have managed to fix theres by messing around with x terminal but i'm not as brainy :(
One procedure was to check if lirc is running by typing ps in terminal and it doesnt appear to be but there was nothing in the topic on how to get it running?? Like i said, i'm a newb n i don't fully understand certain stuff so if someone could spare 5 or 10 mins on how to fix this i would be very greatfull.
Nath.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Could the developer/developers consider adding learning capabilities via the camera/cameras?

Please see the thread below:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...334#post584334

Re: Qtirecco Problems???
 

Start QtIrreco and then type ps in terminal to see if lircd is running. If not then apt-get install lirc. But if you have downloaded QtIrreco with apt-get or manager lirc should be installed and running properly with QtIrreco.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Very interesting idea, but if I got it right pretty impossible to get it work :)

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Enable extras-devel repository and then install QtIrreco, all other packages comes along.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

I put new release with bug fixes and it seems that autobuilder automatically added qt 4.6.2 libs to dependency so package cannot be installed without them. And since those libs aren't yet in normal repositorys and Qt support for maemo5 isn't perfect I recommend you not to install that new upgrade yet.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

not like we can anyways.....im not able too..... i cant install the new psx4all or tuner updates either cuz its saying im missing some stuff

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Hi, I have v.0.3.0 and when I click download remote, I don't see the list!

I only see:
(Header) "Download remote"
then "Manufacturers" and "Remotes"

but there isn't any list.
I am on wifi, it's connected, no proxy. What's wrong?

Thank you.
