Could the problem be that it is also two remotes in the file? Do I have to split that into two files?
Do you have any other suggestion?
Thanks!

Not sure why it's not working but lets try and isolate the problem.
First make sure it's not QtIrreco

in xterm try

Code:

irsend SEND_ONCE  RemoteName Button

where RemoteName is the exact remote name given in your remote file and button is one of the buttons defined in the remote file. Try to use the power button and see if the device turns off. Stay about 1 meter away from the device and make sure you point the IR port directly at the receiver.

EDIT: some more info. you need to start lircd before you can use irsend. The easiest way to do this is to just start qtirreco.
Then try

irsend LIST "" ""

this will list the remotes. Then do

irsend LIST remotename ""

where "remotename" is one of the listed remote name from the previous command. this will list the buttons. then

irsend SEND_ONCE remotename buttonname

will send the signal. here is an example for a samsung remote

irsend SEND_ONCE BN59-00516A POWER
