How to access DVB-onboard RC? (Technisat)

How to access DVB-onboard RC? (Technisat)

[JPT]

Hi,

I currently try to make my Technisat IR-RC work.
But nothing happens when I press a key.
What's wrong?

I checked the RC using a photo camera: at least it emits IR.


triggerhappy config:

DAEMON_OPTS="--triggers /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/ /dev/input/event0
/dev/input/event1"

KEY_1           1       logger thd recieved KEY_1 from Technisat RC
KEY_2           1       logger thd recieved KEY_2 from Technisat RC
KEY_3           1       logger thd recieved KEY_3 from Technisat RC
...
(keys from rc-technisat-usb2.c see syslog below)

Triggerhappy works fine with events from event0
but not from event1

$ inputeventdaemon -l
/dev/input/event0:
  name     : gpio-keys
  phys     : gpio-keys/input0
  features : syn keys

/dev/input/event1:
  name     : IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver
  phys     : usb-0000:01:00.0-1/ir0
  features : syn keys reserved repeat

/dev/input/event2:
  name     : MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (technisat-usb2)
  phys     : /input0
  features : syn keys relative reserved repeat


$ lsusb -t
...

do I need those protocol handlers?

do I need lirc?


thanks,

It depends on what you expect to happen when you press a key on the
remote control. The kernel's and driver's job is primarily to deliver
the events to the userspace where they can be handled by a tool or a daemon.

Never heared of a software with such a name.

As you can see, the input event devices are created and you should find
the device nodes somewhere at /dev/input/... You can try to use cat on
them and see if something happens when you press a button on the remote
control.

Again, depends on what you want to happen on a key-press.
