irsend: busy: repeating

Once in awhile I see this error from irexec when executing irsend commands:

irsend: command failed: send_once denon-avr3805 Vol-
irsend: busy: repeating

Any idea why this is happening and how to stop it from happening?

I am using lircd 0.9.0 with commandIR.

This is because the audio hardware samples the demodulated IR signal;
Sample period at 48kHz is 20.8us, 479 - 458 = 21.
The audio driver transfers the data which is buffered by the hardware so 
interrupt response time does not effect the timing measurements.

Trouble with PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver Spinel plusf0r ASUS

Hi!
I try to configure lirc to works with a PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver-
Spinel plusf0r ASUS (from an EEE Box B206).

The box is a Debian wheezy:
Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP i686 GNU/Linux

I tried deb package (0.9.0 pre 1-1) and lirc-0.9.0.tar.bz2 one from
lirc site, too:
I don't know which configuration to use (lircd.conf and hardware.conf)
to make lirc functional; every time I started lirc I got:

# /etc/init.d/lirc start
Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC : failed!

I also tried notes in this link:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_Ubuntu_and_XBMC_on_Asus_EeeBox_PC_EB1501

but seems too old for my OS version (there's no lirc-modules-source
package, for example).
Which driver from http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html have I to use?
Is there any recent guide to configure my device?

Let me know if futher information are required.
BR,

LIRC and ShuttlePro V2?

I have a Contour Designs ShuttlePro V2 (usb jog wheel / dial with several buttons, see
http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/23) that I'd like to use with MythTV.  I'm thinking about
doing it via LIRC based on the thread here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/272528 

I've generated a LIRC config file for it, but looking at it, I don't see much difference between buttons. 
Before I go much further with this, is this an appropriate use for LIRC?  The device isn't connected via IR at
all, and it has a wheel and a dial.  Can LIRC provide support for both the wheel and the dial?

I've attached the LIRC config file I generated.  i've also attached the output from evtest
(http://people.freedesktop.org/~whot/evtest/) to show what the kernel sees from the device.

HDPVR Blaster and Serial Blaster Configuration

Hi Guys

I'm having to resort to asking for help on the mailing after Googling and
studying for hours trying to find information on getting an HDPVR blaster
and a serial blaster to work together.

I have two Motorolla satellite receivers. One is used for live TV and the
other is connected to MythTV so I need two different devices controlling
each box.

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 to take advantage of the HDPVR plug and
play in the newer kernel, which was nice.

root <at> Misterhouse:~# uname -r
2.6.38-12-generic-pae

I can configure lirc easily to control one or the other devices separately
but I'm at a loss as to how to configure lirc to work with both of them.
Right now I have the HDPVR blasting from Mythtv and that's working fine.

Here's my current hardware.conf:

REMOTE="None"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE=""
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
TRANSMITTER="HD PVR"

RE: HDPVR Blaster and Serial Blaster Configuration

After a bit more digging I finally got it. I indeed had to set up another
instance of lircd. I got it going based loosely on this guide.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki?title=Multiple_LIRC_Drivers&redirect=no

Here's my new hardware.conf

REMOTE="None"
REMOTE_MODULES=""
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE=""
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
TRANSMITTER="HD PVR"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_zilog"
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET="/var/run/lirc/lircd"
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

TRANSMITTER2="Serial"
TRANSMITTER2_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_serial"
TRANSMITTER2_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER2_DEVICE="/dev/lirc1"
TRANSMITTER2_SOCKET="/var/run/lirc/lircd1"
TRANSMITTER2_LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
TRANSMITTER2_LIRCD_ARGS=""

[PATCH] Dynamic uinput keys mapping based on config

Hello,

Current uinput code creates event device with static event list
KEY_RESERVED...KEY_UNKNOWN so codes >KEY_UNKNOWN can't be used. I
suggest populating evdev with events mentioned in config file.
Attached patch against lirc-0.9.0.

Best regards,
Eugene.
