Bug Description
Hello,
I just filed https:/
I will attach a photo of the remote, so you can see all of the buttons.
Pressing each of these buttons into irw, I get the following:

I tried to generate my own irrecord file (which I will attach), but the codes that irrecord received from dev/input were wrong in the same way as above (e.g. TimeShifting gave the same code 0x0002 as key number 1).
This person has generated an irrecord file that seems to have different (correct?) frequencies for each of the above:

http://
Putting this file in the place of the /usr/share/
It would clearly be great if all the buttons worked, as then the MythTV config could include those extra buttons. See my MythTV lirc config here:
http://
to see the missing/not-working buttons in amongst the settings for the working ones.
I've already put a lot of time into debuging what is wrong with this and writing the above-linked guides, so I would be happy to do some debugging etc. to finally get support for this report over the line.
I have filed this against Mythbuntu as I just do not know whether this is a bug in LIRC or the kernel driver for the bttv.
Note that I have just found a conf file for my remote added to the shared remotes (added in 2009): lirc.sourceforg e.net/remotes/ leadtek/ Y0400046 lirc.sourceforg e.net/remotes/ leadtek/ lircd.conf. RM-0010

However, as far as I can see, all of the buttons/frequencies in the Y0400046-specific conf file are also in the generic:

already. If that is the case, the Y0400046-specific one should probably be deleted (it is already confusing enough).
Regardless, neither of these files will help me, as the problem seems at a lower level than the configuration file -- irrecord (and presumably lirc) is "hearing" the same command for multiple buttons.
