Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

You should have all Devices included there like this:

include "/home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/<devicename>"

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

tnx for your help now it works again....:)
but i have to fill the lirc.conf manually i checket permisions of that file and have all permisions, when i create new remote on qtirreco it doest write to lircd.conf like before, it fills remotes and devices but not lircd.conf...

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Application is supposed to write those include lines there when downloading new remotes. My lircd.conf file has these rights:

-rw-rw-rw- user root

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

well it works perfect now.. i tell what i did:
1. i unistalled qtirreco by command dpkg --purge qtirreco
2. i removed all directory in /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco with command rm -r qtirreco (some files still there)
3.i removed all directory in /home/user/MyDocs/irreco with command rm -r irreco
(was unistalled before but files still there so i deleted)
4.i did an init 6 to reload
5.i did an apt-get install qtirreco. (when i did this command at the end displays changing paths in lircd.conf to proper one)

and now works like before.tnx to nirpe for your help.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Well.. took me awhile to get it working but I am pleased to say I can now control both my tv and xbox via the n900 thanks to all the helpful people in this thread!

However, I still have an Audio Research amp that I'd love to control with the n900 (not gonna happen methinks) and an Oppo SACD/dvd player.

Ive managed to find IR Remote codes for the Oppo player on their site: http://www.oppodigital.com/dv980h/do...e%20dv980h.xls

Is it possible to use those codes to create a remote that would work in Qtirreco? It'd be mega awesome if that was possible, though I most likely lack the expertise to do it - I was wondering if anyone could help out?

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

You can try if it works. Some instructions:

1. Make file Oppo to /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/
2. Copy some other device content to that file and change lines to proper one. Important lines are after begin remote. Insert name Oppo in next line. Then after begin codes try first one command like: Power 0x1A
3. Then add include in /etc/lircd.conf like other ones are for that Oppo
4. Finally try if it works. And if so you can send me that Device file so I upload it to database so other users can have that too if needed.

Does anyone know if I can control my gate with qtirreco ? It obviously has some simple code but I am not sure how to set this up.........:o

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Are you sure it uses infra red? I thought most gate/garage controls used RF.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

No I'm not sure that it uses IR ( I was under the impression that it used IR because it has a code)....I will find out today! Many thanks for your reply :)

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 

Hi, I can't seem to get QtIrecco to play nice with the Shutter desktop widget. It doesn't seem to matter what order I install things, with both apps installed, Shutter always says "IRSend failed".

I tried the following steps:

• aptg-get remove --purge lirc
• reboot
• install Shutter 1.0.0-2 (+ lirc)
• reboot
• all is well and Shutter does it's thing
• install QtIrreco (0.3.0-1)
• reboot
• QtIrreco is ok but Shutter starts to fail

Switching which one I install first makes no difference and whenever I install QtIrecco the command

throws up tons of warning about not being able to load the camera config files, but it works just fine if I only install Shutter.

Removing just QtIrecco once installed does not fix the problem and I have to "purge" lirc again.

Any ideas?
