So you do " sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start" and " sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop" on launch/quit of the application?
(It's a daemon, so it shouldn't use up that many resources when not running, or not?)
Question after question
Thanks!

"I think that nobody is anymore developing Irreco. QtIrreco is Qt version of Irreco."
IMHO, Irreco is the past and QTirreco the future

just been playing with this was working perfectly with my topfeild 5800 PVR using the topfield pvr 5000 from the database
so i was trying to get my sony tv to work i decided to try a random sony remote kdl-40L4000, installed fine but didnt work with my tv, so i selected the remote and selected delete remote.
then i selected another topfield remote i had been playing with to delete that as i had two for the same device. however this didnt delete properly the buttons dissapeared, the background went black but it was still listed, most of the things i try to do now result in this application has crashed messages. if i click no the task will eventually complete and i can use the remote but there is a gap of 3 - 4 mins before any of the menu commands work
any idea what this could be / a way to solve it? ive tried rebooting the phone to no affect loads up in the same state
thanks

Type in terminal:
1. sudo gainroot (rootsh needs to be installed)
2. cd /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Remotes
3. rm <remote file name>
4. vi remotes.conf
5. press a for example in vi editor, select the line which contains that remote name and press d to delete that line, then set current remote in line one existing remote. Press ESC and type :wq to save changes.
Please ask if u need more help there. Hope u get it working again,.

hi nirpe, in order to do the 1.1 update yesterday i uninstalled this app, not that i needed too but people were saying to remove apps from devel to make sure there were no issues with the update. i will reinstall it agian in a few days. it might be that the uninstall will cure the issue, if not i will run through the steps above.
thanks
thanks

I don't know what's going on...after i updated the latest firmware...this damm Qtrecco is not working again. It used to work all the time. I don't know what do do. I don't know how to tell if my IR is working or not. I don't know if lirc is running or not....all i know is that it used to work before.
I been doing a lot of uninstall and intall and nothing work.

Irreco didn't seem to want to work properly, so I switched to qtirreco and I've just got this working nicely this evening - had to record my own signals too since my tv and dvd player weren't in the remote database.
Had a few problems at first where the signals weren't being sent at all - I was able to check because the IR receiver I have flashes a light whilst it's receiving, but I could've done the view-through-a-digital-camera solution to see if it was transmitting otherwise.
Also, the files in the remote config files needed to be included in /etc/lircd.conf file and because I was transferring them in manually they weren't automatically being added.
