Hello,
first of all, this forum helped me a lot to set up my XBMC, but now I got stocked with Lirc. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and installed XBMC with the XBMCbuntu tutorial.
I'm using a Silverstone LC20M with the SoundGraph 15c2:0036 and compiled the latest CVS version of Lirc. At the moment Lirc is running fine and I have the follwing devices:
/dev/lirc0
/dev/lcd0
The lirc.conf and hardware.conf are the default ones.
lirc.conf includes only the settings for the Imon pad remote. Anyway, irw is working fine, as listed below, also for xbmc user:
Also mode2 --raw /dev/lirc0 received the information from the remote, but it's not possible to get it work in XBMC.
In the xbmc logfile I saw the following entry after the software started:
INFO: LIRC Initialize: connect failed: no such file (or similar)
Therefore I tried to create a symbolic link /dev/lircd to /dev/lirc0 and this changed the log entry to the following:
INFO: LIRC Initialize: connect failed: Permission denied
So I changed the permission for /dev/lirc0 and tried to access lirc0 and lircd with mode2 as user xbmc, which works fine. But now when I start XBMC I get the following info:
INFO: LIRC Initialize: connect failed: Connection refused
And now I'm clueless. Would be great if someone could give me a hint.
Thanks in advance.
