IR on my n900 doesn't work
 

hi all,

i've got a n900 for a month now and it's the best mobile i ever got.
Only i have a problem right now and i hope that you guys can help me with it:

My IR beam is not working... It always worked in combination with IRreco and i wanted yesterday to turn my tv off and it doesnt worked ( before it always worked!). I recorded my phone's IR beam and it doesn't show up.. What can i do??

thnx,

Martijn (Holland)

Last time I tried irreco, lirc needed to be started manually. If that's the case, maybe you need to check it's running, and start it if not?

Re: IR on my n900 doesn't work
 

when i try to start it, i get this error:

starting lirc daemon: lircdlircd: error in configfile line 89:
lircd: bad signal length
lircd: reading of file '/home/user/MyDocs/irreco/InternalLircDevices/97P04701' failed
lircd: reading of config file failed

somebody know what the problem is??

Re: IR on my n900 doesn't work
 

The device file in question (97P04701) is raw_coded. Irreco doesn't support raw coded devices, AFAIK. You could try QtIrreco, raw coded stuff should work, I've heard.

Re: IR on my n900 doesn't work
 

I've used qtirreco recently, and it does support raw-coded stuff quite well - I've had to record my own.

As for the errors you're getting: have a look in /etc/lircd.conf to see what it's including - it sounds like you've deleted some remotes / devices and lirc doesn't know yet.

You could install my "shutter" widget and see if that works.

Re: IR on my n900 doesn't work
 

Yes i've accidently deleted the irreco map on my memory....
But after that i reflashed my device..
How can i edit the lircd.conf that way it works?
And do i need to ssh in my n900?

Re: IR on my n900 doesn't work
 

so it doesn't work anymore after i deleted the irreco files from my n900 memory... How can i edit the lirc.conf file and what do i need to change?????
