Worked fine for me but now it stopped working with no reason, it seems that the IR LED of the N900 doesn't works sometimes. Anyone got a idea how to enable it again?
I have that problem from the beginning.. I dont get the IR LED working at all.. With another N900 works fine. I have tried to reinstall qtirreco but that didnt help.. What should I try next?
Is there some specific file that I could copy from working phone to faulty one?? File that controls/configures IR LED?
please anyone have a clue how to help me on the below post ..... i'm desperate to be able to show the power of the n900 to friends and family in a way that will make them sit up and pay attention.
i have even took a pic of the remote and included it in this post for you to see if that helps!
also i have checked with a digital camera that the ir is flashing when im trying to use qtirreco!
please please help ...... anyone ... please!
i have now spent over 2 hours trying to get this working.
*all installed ok
*i have learnt how to load a remote
*i want to control my uk sky+ box which is made by amstrad
i have looked inside the remote and the code i see in the remote is SKY REV.8 ...... nearest match on qtirreco download list is sky/Sky_Rev_6
i have tried this one many times and i have also tried the other 5 that are in the Sky list but to no avail

i just donwloaded qtirreco and managed to get it to work with my SKY+ box easily. Just downloaded the SKY+ DVS one, added a few buttons, works a treat. Just need to have a wee play and configure the exact buttons i will need as a back up remote (and winding up the missus!)
however, it only works from within 2 metres of my SKY+ box.
First thing to check is if lirc is running by typing ps in terminal.
Then check the file under /opt/qtirreco/Remotes/<remotename.conf> whats the device in line:
command: <device> <command>
Then check if that device actually is the same under /opt/qtirreco/Devices/<device>. There check the line after begin remote.
name <device>
Then under /etc/lircd.conf you should have proper device path included.
If those devices in lines match and lirc runs the IR signal should be sent. Some codes doesn't work but still the signal is emitted.
Thank you alot.. I got it finally working.
Problem where at lircd.conf file. It didnt have device path for remote. It would be good idea to make documentation from these questions and answers. FAQ file etc... Makes some work but I'm sure it will pay of in future.
