Something truly strange is the probable reason!
I know that I could work my remote on both Windows with a HVR-3000/4000 card and, simultaneously (well surely in periods consecutive, to be precise, not simultaneous, but consecutive, within seconds time periods), on my Genroo Linux with a Windows HVR-3000/4000 card.
So, the same (I looked up how Hauppage call it), "remote control transmitter with 2 AAA batteries" could well work on two different "remote control receiver" ("with velcro dot fastener" for those with an eye for details  ), which, the latter, is the wire attached to the card.
Same remote transmitter on two different cards on two different machines, for short.
Now, listen to this.
I take out the working transmitter, out there stretched out and sticking unused for probably one year (could go and see when the Ms LIRC and Mr Kernel didn't speak inteligible to each other, wait... I might find it... Here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6689175-highlight-.html#6689175)...
I attach instead another transmitter that I stowed away long time ago, and hardly ever used.
And you know what?
The nearly untouched one transmitter, opposite to this one that I just detached, and which was working, was dead for that card.
And it's the same model!
I don't usually stamp on my hardware pieces, no, I almost only have old well preserved hardware...
What could it be?
It wasn't exposed, at least not any more than the other one, to any radio signals, or magnetic fields or whatnot!
I have still quite a few remote transmitters left (five I thnik, and a corresponding number of remote receivers (the wires for short description)...
I will surely learn which ones and in which pairs (if that turns out to be the case), still work with one another on a particular of my three working cards.
Cheers! |

Hmmmm ... I suspect this has to do with the scan-code used. Just check the /etc/rc_maps.cfg ...
1334381092.328821: event MSC: scancode = 1e17
1334381092.328830: event key down: KEY_RIGHT (0x006a)
If your remote doesn't give the scancode as configured in the rc_maps, nothing will happen ... (not detected etc) |

I sure will bear that in mind when I start configuring IR for real.
At this time, the remote has sufficient control on mplayer, play files, stop playing, rewind, fast forward and maybe more, for my convenience when in bed tired or before going to sleep.
Thanks! |
