LIRC for Anyware GP-IR02BK Remote Transmitter

[Gelli]

Binary package hint: mythbuntu-lirc-generator

Release: Mythbuntu 8.04
I just got a Anyware GP-IR02BK MCE Remote with IR transmitter. Remote seems to work great, but has a few key mapping issues. I used MCEUSB2 from the MCC panel for the remote. I used the MCEUSB2 to Scientific Atlanta Cable Box from the MCC panel for the IR Transmitter. I am unable to get the transmitter to work and have tried several other MCC IR transmitter selections. I am not clear on where to go next to start debugging this!!! I dont even know if I am listing this in the right place!! Cheers for help!!

Hey,

I just thought I would add in here that I can confirm the same issue in ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 with this mce remote tranceiver. Mine is actually called a mediagate mce remote but is the same one, GP-IR02BK. The Ir reciever works perfectly out of the box but cannot seem to transmit anything. I get no errors doing irsend from command line but the ir emitter led doesn't flash at all. I have tried on lirc 0.8.3 and 0.8.4a (which should have the correct hardware and manufacturer codes fro this remote from what I gather).

Anywho, I don't know if this is the right place for this either, i just came across this post and though i would add my experience with this remote in here.

Cheers,
-Sean

MLG is only used for button mapping in apps. Assigning to LIRC package. So first things first, try to get it working command line. You might need to give it a few extra flags that are normally implied, like the LIRC device.
