SnapStream RF USB and Firefly Remote

[TechBill]

Binary package hint: lirc

superm1 request that I submit a bug report containing the lirc files for the SnapStream RF USB and Firefly Remote http://www.snapstream.com/products/firefly/ so it can be added to the next Mythbuntu release remote control centre

The hardware selection that was selected and works for SnapStream RF USB is ATI/NVidia/X10 I & II RF Remote which is currently avaiable in the remote control centre.

Included is 3 files

Firefly Remote - lircd.conf
MythTV lircrc for Firefly Remote
hardware.conf (Selected ATI/NVidia/X10 I & II RF Remote in control centre)

This actually is only patching the userspace driver. It needs to be applied against the config's for both.

[TechBill (zesuit)]

Mario is correct it only patched the userspace driver and not the kernel.

SnapStream Firefly need the kernel module to be loaded and it will not work on userspace.

I have done some testing with the SnapStream Firefly configs in ATI/NVidia X10 RF kernel and determine that the other remote configs seem to overides the Snapstream Firefly config so I strongly recommends that the SnapStream Firefly configs to be removed from the ATI/NVidia X10 RF alltogether and have it own selection with the same hardware.conf as the ATI/NVidia X10 RF (kernel) but with it own lirc.conf which I have attached to this earlier report.

Also I would like to submit a bug report on the ATI/Nivida X10 RF (userspace) selection when selected it create a string in the hardware.conf MODULES="none" which should actually be just MODULES="", it may not break anything but it will generate a warnings when lirc is started.
It is recommend to remove the text "none" to preventing lirc from generating any warnings when it is starts.
