Re: QtIrreco for N900
 
@Romanianusa - Do you get any error messages when starting lirc or qtirreco from the terminal?
If you look through a digital camera and send an IR signal into the lens from the n900 is it definitely sending a signal? (You should be able to see if through the digital viewfinder)

I don't get error message when i start qtirreco. I don't know if lirc is starting..how do u tell? Also how do you send IR signal into lens from n900?? I don't get it.

Re: QtIrreco for N900
 
Here's the output I get in the terminal.
Code:
~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
Starting lirc daemon: lircd.
~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop
Stopping lirc daemon: irexec lircmd lircd.
~ $
To see if the ir is transmitting grab a digital camera.
Code:
    ____
    |___|  <--- camera; lens pointing toward n900
      ^
      |
      |
      ^
      |
    __|__    ir transmitter pointing toward camera
    |___|  <--- n900
And when you press buttons in qtirreco to send an ir signal you should see a flashing light in the digital camera lcd viewfinder.

I don't have a digital camera.

I've just tested with the n800 web-cam and this works too - you should be able to get the same result from any other form of digital camera device.
Probably even a mobile phone camera if you have an old one, or you know anyone that has a mobile.

I tested withe a phone and i don't see IR signal. So what do i do now?

You says "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."

Maybe i have to move my files in REMOTES to /etc/lircd.conf? Is that what you mean? If so, how?

It would be nice to record Remote signals on the N900.... none of the commands work for me. LircDB was missing one config file but I manually imported it and that didn't work either.

Seems pretty neat anyways. If this could work with my cable box it would be amazing... :)

Yes, record signals would be really nice!

I have irreco and I can turn my tv ON and OFF.

if I try with Vol+ the N900 go off :-)

then go back on, back off again and back on...after that is fine :-)

You may as well keep your remotes where they are in the /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/ folder.
You just need to make sure you add the same of the remotes to the /etc/lircd.conf file.
E.g. open up /etc/lircd.conf with a text editor and add the path to the file in there.

My file says:
Quote:
include "/home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/CME"
include "/home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/vistron.conf"
include "/home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/sumvision.conf"
I manually added the last two lines.

I wrote a quick post on using a text editor here, if you're not sure about that.

hmm, my stuff works fine with a single remote in lircd.conf.. as soon as i add an include line, nothing works.. app loads, just no IR signal anymore :(
