LIRC-0.9.1: Remote not working, scancodes, config issues

Hi,
I'm using arch (kernel 3.16.0-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux), a TechnoTrend USB IR Receiver and my custom remote (not covered by existing configs). I installed lirc and lirc-utils via testing repo (lirc-0.9.1). My problem is that I can access my device, but irw gives me no output at all.
At first some outputs:
ir-keytable:

I start lirc manually with
lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-TechnoTrend_AG_TT-USB_Infrared_Device-event-ir BlackFlatOne -n
After starting lirc, I start irw, but I get no response at all when pressing buttons on my remote.
I already tried a
cat /dev/input/by-id/usb-TechnoTrend_AG_TT-USB_Infrared_Device-event-ir
(lirc and irw not running, of course) and this gives me cryptic symbols when pressing buttons on my remote, so the IR receiver doesn't seem to be the problem.
I'm wondering if the scancodes in my config are ok for a devinput-device, because the latest "official" lircd.conf.devinput looks like that:

So I'm wondering about the different lengths of the keycodes (e.g. 0x0d vs 0x1ad -> 2 vs 3 digits).
Can anyone help me out with this issue ?
Am I missing something ?
How do I have to format the scancodes/keycodes the correct way for version 0.9.1 ?

Apple remote not working

My Apple remote is not working with my MacBook. The Mac OS X 10.5 Help Knowledge Base says to go to Security > Systems > and Disable remote control infrared receiver. I don't have a systems button or box nor the checkbox to Disable remote control infrared receiver. And, my MacBook has an infrared receiver.

Hi Focus,
I have the same problem. When I update from TIger to Leopard the front row apple remote still working. But is been a long time the last time i used and now on 10.5.2 osx the apple remote not working as I imagine.
I read some answers that help me understand better the problem. My check box of "disable remote.."is unchecked and I saw a "pair" button and try to pair with my apple remote. The tips told me to HOLD "menu" and "next" buttons of apple remote to pair him with computer. And Works fine. So I try to push only Menu button (as I've done so many times on tiger) but still does not working. So I realize the command to "start front row from apple remote" now on Leopard 10.5.2 is MENU+NEXT buttons and does not anymore only menu button. For me works like this.
While I write this answer I try again push and hold only MENU button and after almost 2 or 3 seconds holding button appears on screen an virtual image of my apple remote signaling to replace the battery, may be now will be works only on push menu, but I need to change the battery first.
I hope help somebody.

Apple infrared remote not working

Just a few days ago I updated Keynote, my time scale is a little hazy but I know recently, like last week, I used my appl infrared remote to control Keynote. I was able to press play and advance slides. This was a great thing, I remember doing and thinking wow apple is great. Now it doesn't work. I can turn the volume up but playing or advancing the slides does nothing. It sure seems like the last update removed this feature.
Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,
If you are having an issue with your Apple Remote not working with your Keynote presentations, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Troubleshooting the Apple Remote - Apple Support
Start with the section titled If you're using the remote with a computer.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

Creative Entertainment Center in windows 7.the remote not working

how i can activate the remote from x-fi fatality champion series.after i change my system form vista to 7 my remote not working.can i install the software from vista?

B? You have Creative Console Launcher, I believe and that is the program you can use to change between audio creation, entertainment and gaming mode. Each mode highlights the card's specialities in that area. You have a vitural multi-track mixer in audio creation mode. You have Dolby and DTS encoder/decoder options in entertainment mode, and you have a generic access to the cards other features in gaming mode.

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Remote not working properly with Apple's iPod to TV dock/system

Everything appears to be set up right and the remote is communicating with the ipod base, which in turn is connected to the TV... But the Menu feature doesn't seem to work at all or defaults to the music library (no menu, just starts playing)... All the settings appear correct and if I manually select a TV show on the iPOD and can control the position and volume with the remote, but hitting the menu button as one would on the ipod to get the full list of shows either does notthing or starts the music... UG!!! Just bought this today and very diappointed that it seems buggy, not working...
I know this is probably not a high volume issue, but can someone please help???
Thanks!

Don't feel alone. I have the 80GB and my AV kit remote is doing the same thing. Start playing the video, pressing menu doesn't cause a response at all. However, if you hit the "go back" you end up back at the video menu. When you hit play it starts playing 1 of how many songs you have loaded in your ipod.
This has had to be known as an issue by now.
Cheers!

Remote not working on dvr but works on other boxes

I have a Dvr box in the back of the house, It was working fine today earlier. I went back in the room and poof the remote dosent work on the box. It still works the tv. So I took it out to the other boxes in the house and it works fine on the other boxes.So I took both remotes from the other boxes and tried to use them on my dvr box. Again no response. the remote lights up when I press the button. Soooooo, I had recently switched the dvr box out for a new one. I have not sent it back yet so I have 2 working boxes. The issue I had last week was not box related so both boxes work fine. I tried swapping out the current box for the old box. Same thing,the remote will not work on it.Other remotes will not work on it yet this remote to the dvr box works every other box in the house. What happened? Did I lock the box somehow? or what can I do? The remote is working , just nt on the box in my room.Could it have to to with the signal being sent ot the box? I dont know its a mystery.

My guess would be IR interference from the TV.
Trying moving the STB away from the TV as far as you can, off the the side. Or if the STB is below the TV, try putting some kind of shield between the bottom of the TV and the STB. The objective here is to try to shield the IR sensor in the STB from any IR emitted from the TV.
IR interference from the TV is a known problem, there are lots of threads here on the Forums about this. Frequently this will occur if the TV is set to a very vivid video setting. But then again this issue frequently disappears after the TV has been on for some minutes.
Another possibility is IR interference from some other device in close proximity to the STB. So what other electronic devices are nearby?
Just a guess, but try moving or shielding the STB and see if there is a difference.

Remote not working cable box

I just picked up a new remote control for Comcast yesterday. I was able to program the remote for the TV after several trys but the cable is not working. The cable light comes on but nothing else. I am able to adjust the volume but no other buttons work. The instructions claim that the remote is preprogrammed. I have a Sharp Tv and Scientific Atlantic converter box. I also unplugged the dta box and let it reset and still no results thanks

I googled and I found this. Worked like a charm. ETA: the website: http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/whichremote/thread.cgi?398 Try assigning device code 1376 to the CBL device key:
1. Press CBL key
2. Press and hold SETUP until CBL blinks twice
3. Type 1376
It should blink twice. If it blinks long once, it could be one of two problems. One could be that CBL device is locked. To unlock it:
1. Press CBL key
2. Press and hold SETUP unit CBL binks twice
3. Type 982
If it blinks four times, now it's unlocked and you can do the above step to set to it to 1376. If it blinks twice, that means it was unlocked and now is locked, and you need to do the step above again to unlock it again. It also means that 1376 code is not present for some reason (possibly it was completely reset).
You could use device code CBL/0476, which is built in, but it will not have the DVR commands and you would have to use advanced codes to program that in manually. I would just get a new one (that's has the correct code), but if you want to program them in instead of bothering to go back to the cable company, I can give you the list of codes for the missing commands and how to program them in.

Remote not working right

I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right. Some things work fine. Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit). What's wrong?
My second TV set-up is OK.
Solved!

Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?
If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.
You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.
Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

Remote not working. network set up problem

okay... The remote app is not working.
I have installed it on my phone and successfully made it work both on my computer and on the computer in the mac store. So i know the iphone is not the problem. The problem is I had to set up a temporary network on my computer. I want to get the current network configured correctly to work with the iphone remote app.
Here is what is happening:
i open up remote, choose my library, the code comes up for me to enter. but itunes does not find my iphone.
Both the phone and the comp are using a wi-fi network from my router. It is password protected, both have the password installed in them. When i check system prefs on both they are using the same network.
When i went into the apple store, it instantly recognized my iphone and was able to set up the remote there.
On my own computer I can set up a secondary network and it works there. To so that I went to the airport icon on the top right, the pull down menu has "create network" as an option. I created a new network and THAT network used the remote app. But when i restart the computer that network is deleted.
What is configured incorrectly in my main wi-fi network that is not allowing the remote the be recognized?
I know the questions are going to come up:
i have itunes 8
iphone firmware is updated.
both have been reinstalled.
in itunes i do have the "accept remote" button clicked. i tried resetting it but it said it could not remove remotes since none were recognized yet.
I think that covers all the info i have on the problem. I really appreciate everyone's help on here. thanks!

I'm having this problem also and I'm in the process of reseting everything. I have tried turning iPod touch on/off, reinstalling the remote app and closing/opening iTunes.
Two things to check:
1. Go to View, Preferences, Sharing and make sure iTunes is set to share your library. Sometimes turning this on for the first time you connect the remote solves the problem and you can then turn it off again once it's working.
2. Make sure your wireless devices (everything connected to your wireless router) are on the same network as the computer you are trying to connect to. I have a main wired router going into my PC and use Airport Express as a wireless extender (basically plugging it into the router to beam the internet access out to wifi devices) and originally the main router put my PC on one network (172.x.x.x) whilst my wireless devices were on a different one (255.x.x.x), so the two devices couldn't see eachother. The way to solve this problem is to tell your wireless router to act as a 'bridge' under the wireless router's settings, which will extend the network of your wired router, rather than create a whole new one.
I'm not sure either of those will help but it's worth a go. I'll let you know if I solve the problem at my end and how I did it.

Remote not working after Leopard update

I've read about, and have the problems reported with Front Row when it comes to viewing content on another (TV) screen, but does anyone share my problem about the remote control not working at all?
This morning before I upgraded to Leopard it worked fine, but since then, no matter which button I press, nothing happens at all.
I've to launch Front Row manually, either by launching the new app, or the CMD Esc command, but the 'Menu' button on the remote doesn't do anything.
It certainly isn't an issue with the remote as my iPod still responds to the commands when it is sat in the iPod Dock that has the remote receiver on it.

To provide closure on this thread, I now have it working!
Got all the ideas from the iSight thread listed above, here's what I did.
Firstly, shut down the computer, disconnected everything from the back of it, gave it a dust around the back of the iMac, blew out the cobwebs so to speak.
Left it ten minutes, made myself a drink.
Returned and restarted the computer, but applying the reset PRAM command, which is after switching on immediately hold down the Command, Option, P and R keys.
You'll hear a second chime, release the keyboard and the computer will boot up.
Once everything had loaded, I launched iSight and lo and behold, there was my ugly mug staring back at me, iSight was once again working.
I then proceeded to the System Preferences to see if I could get the remote working. There was the IR instructions at last including details on how to pair the remote.
Pointing my remote to the screen I held down the Menu and Next/FFWD button until a chain and the remote symbol appeared on the screen.
With my remote paired with my iMac, everything was finally working again after two days of installing Leopard, Tiger and the Leopard again!
Now Apple, how about sorting out Front Row working properly when pictures are DV'd out to a TV!??

Remote not working properly with one TV

For one of my TV's the remote is not working as it should. Just today - the operating distance from my couch, which is about 8 ft got reduced to about 3 ft. I don't have this problem with my TV in the bed room. I changed the batteries and they are fully charged. Tried calling Verizon - don't get to speak to a human anymore. They prompt me to buy a new remote. Can someone help me.

It's been about an hour since I posted my issue and got your reply. All of sudden everything started working again. All we did was turned off and turned on everythng. Thank you for your help. I never got to try your solution - but will keep that as a possible solution in case it happens again.

Remote not working on iPhone 4S

I just got the message "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account *************@****.com."
The problem is home sharing is turned on on both the Apple TV and in iTunes in my computer. Before I got this message, the remote app was timing out when trying to connect to the Apple TV. What can I do to make the remote app on my iPhone 4S see this? FYI I also hava an iPod Touch (2nd Gen) on which the remote app is working properly.
I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on a Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz Intel Core Duo, an iPhone 4S, and an Apple TV (1st Gen) running OS 3.0.2.
Thank you

I just selected "Forget all remotes" from the "Devices" tab in "Preferences." I then repaired the remote app on the iPhone with iTunes on my computer. It worked to pair the remote app with iTunes on the computer, but I'm still not paired with the Apple TV. On the iPod, when I select the source list in preferences in the remote app, it brings me to a screen that has an icon for the Apple TV and and an icon for the iTunes library on my computer. But on the iPhone, there is only the icon for the iTunes library on my computer listed.
On the iPod, Home Sharing was turned off, yet it controls the Apple TV perfectly.
When I go to the General tab under settings on the Apple TV, and go into the "Remotes" section, it brings me to a screen with 3 choices:
1. Unpair/Pair Apple Remote (iPhone & iPod touch Remotes)
2. My iPod (Other Remotes) with the linked symbol next to it
3. Learn Remote
1.     When I select Unpair/pair Apple Remote, a picture of a transmitting Apple TV remote appears-I assume this is just for Apple TV style remotes, not iPods or iPhones simce this doesn't effect the iPhone when I select it.
2.     When I select "My iPod," it brings me to a screen that syas "Remove My iPod: Removing this remote prevents it from controlling your Apple TV." I don't remember having to go through the Apple TV to synce the iPod with it, but here it is, listed in the remotes section of the Apple TV, while my iPhone is not listed.
3.     When I select Learn Remote, a screen pops up that says: "Before you start, choose an unused device setting on your other remote. Then select Start using your Apple TV remote." I assume this is to train a learning remote to function with the Apple TV.
I just want to make sure, is more than 1 iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc allowed to control a single Apple TV?
Does anyone have any ideas why the iPhone would be able to control iTunes on my computer, but not be able to control the Apple TV? Again, everything is on the same network and operating in the same location.
Is there a compatibility issue between Apple TV (1st gen) running ios 3.0.2 (the most recent update) and an iPhone 4S running the most recent version of Remote App?
