Hi guys, this is my very first post here. I got some problems with qtirreco. The application seems not to send any IR signal at all as i could see pointing the IR port to a camera. At first i thought the lircd daemon wasn't started, so i started it manually and after i entered
Code:
ps auwx | grep lirc
i could see the entry
Code:
/usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 --listen=8765
, so the daemon is running. Also my lircd.conf file is written properly, but when i select a command with qtirreco no signal seems to be emitted. When i run
Code:
irsend SEND_START X3 1
i can see the trasmitter is working. So, in your opinion, what should be the problem with Qtirreco?
- qtirreco starts/stops lirc correctly
- qtirreco does not add confs to /etc/lircd.conf
- manual adding confs and "irsend START_SEND" works
- qtirreco still not working (no signals sending)
Is there another qtirreco related conf file we must add the remote manually?

Okay I tested adding remote manually. First I copied the remote config file which has all the IR codes for remote. I copied the file to /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/
Then added this line to /etc/lircd.conf:
include "/home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/Devices/15PF4121"
Then I added a button and tested. Didn't work but after booting software it worked. Ive noticed this before, but still hasn't figured it out why you need to boot after that operation. If youre going to add your own remote and then uploading the software, you will also need to add line to /home/user/MyDocs/qtirreco/lircpaths.conf file like following line here:
15PF4121 p-r/philips/15PF4121
So in this case my remote config file is named 15PF4121.
Then I added a button and tested. Didn't work but after booting software it worked. Ive noticed this before, but still hasn't figured it out why you need to boot after that operation.
It would probably be enough to just restart the lircd:
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
Check out the LIRC section of the Irreco docs for some interesting reads.

Do you mean rebooting the device? Did not help. Also, as qtirreco starts and stops lircd, there should be no need to manually restart it. I don't know what's wrong with my qtirreco, somehow it does not interact with lircd correctly. As I said, I can send commands manually to lircd and the transmitter works, but no signals from qtirreco. Is it normal that you cannot configure lirc form inside qtirreco? In irreco you could configure port an host.

Lirc listens messages sent to localhost using port 8765 and QtIrreco uses socket to send messages to that port. With version 2.2 I fixed that problem where i needed to reboot software, not device.
