Configuring the Hauppauge Silver Remote

The following steps should get your Hauppauge working with lirc. If you run into problems, try searching the lirc mailing list archives for clues.

We first remove the liblirc files that were installed by mythtv-suite to avoid conflict:

|
| # rpm -e --nodeps liblirc0
| # rpm -e --nodeps liblirc0-devel
|

Download the most recent lirc source from http://www.lirc.org, then unpack and configure:

|
| $ cd /home/mythtv
| $ tar -zxvf ./lirc-0.7.0.tar.gz
| $ cd lirc-0.7.0
| $ ./setup.sh
|

In the setup app, select item 1, then item 5 'TV Card', then item f, 'Hauppauge TV card'.
Next select item 3, 'Save configuration & run configure'.

Build and install lirc. Link the new library files:

|
| $ make
| # make install
| # ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblirc_client.so.0 /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0
|

Edit '/etc/ld.so.conf', adding the following line:

--------------------------------------------------------
/usr/local/lib
--------------------------------------------------------

Then run ldconfig:

|
| # ldconfig
|

Copy the lircrc file for the Hauppauge remote from the MythTV installation and add a necessary link:

|
| $ cd /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.16/configfiles
| $ cp hauppauge-lircrc-nativelirc /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
| $ ln -s /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc /home/mythtv/.lircrc
|

Copy the lircd.conf sample from the lirc source directory, then reboot once more for luck:

|
| $ cd /home/mythtv/lirc-0.7.0/remotes/hauppauge
| # cp ./lircd.conf.hauppauge /etc/lircd.conf
| # /sbin/reboot
|
