Leadtek DTV2000DS remote

Leadtek DTV2000DS remote

[Gregory Orange]

Hi all, first post.

I have a newly purchased Leadtek DTV2000DS dual tuner card in my
machine, configured and running in Mythbuntu 10.04 (after installing
latest v4l-dvb from source). I am having a bit of trouble getting the
supplied remote control working. Is anyone here able to assist? I
asked on the LIRC sf.net list and after a bit of back and forth I was
directed to see if you guys can help me. In particular I wonder if the
author of dvb_usb_af9015 and af9013 is around - hmm, seems to be Antti
Palosaari, who seems to be a fairly recent poster. Don't get me wrong
though - anyone who can assist would be great (:

I have confirmed that the hardware works - I installed the drivers in
a Windows boot, and the remote works.

In terms of driver support I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for,
but there is this line in dmesg:
[   22.263721] input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0e.0/0000:02:0a.2/usb2/2-1/input/input5

cat /proc/bus/input/devices yields
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0413 Product=6a04 Version=0200
N: Name="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:02:0a.2-1/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0e.0/0000:02:0a.2/usb2/2-1/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event5
B: EV=3
B: KEY=108fc310 2802891 0 0 0 0 118000 200180 4803 e1680 0 100000 ffe

So I've been using /dev/input/event5 in my tests. I have tried using
evtest, mode2, and irw to no avail. I get no indication of any signal
coming from the remote. Am I missing a kernel driver module? Any
further advice or specific experience with this device would be
gratefully welcomed.

Cheers,
Greg.

Shall I assume that noone has had any experience with one of these
devices? From some input from other sources, I'm now not sure if I
lack a kernel module, or perhaps the firmware for this device isn't
supported (or somesuch - a bit confused on that).

In any case, pretty well everything is now working including EIT at
last. The remote is all I lack. I have no idea who else to ask or what
to try, so I may try borrowing a different remote. I'm all Googled out
(:

Regards,
Greg.

Leadtek WinFast DTV2000DS remote is not supported at all. Leadtek 
WinFast DTV Dongle Gold remote is. If you can compile and install latest 
drivers from http://git.linuxtv.org/anttip/media_tree.git af9015 tree I 
can add support for that remote rather easily.

Re: Leadtek DTV2000DS remote

[Gregory Orange]

Thank you for the response. I'm not entirely clear on what you're
suggesting, but I'll try to clarify.

I can and will compile and install the af9015 tree when I get a chance
- I've been sick all weekend and now it's time to head back to work.
What do you intend for me to do once I've achieved that? Or were you
simply checking that I could before going ahead and adding support?

Are you saying you can add support for Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle Gold
remote, or my Leadtek WinFast DTV20000DS? I'm slightly confused by
your mention of the Gold - was that just for comparison's sake?

Cheers,
Greg.
