[linux-dvb] Re: Avermedia DVB-T Remote Control

[Matt Jesson <dvb@jesson.eclipse.co.uk>]

Yes, I have.

Try the latest video4linux snapshot from bytesex.org. I've been 
fiddling with my Avermedia DVB-T (the 761 version).

If you have the 761 card you should be up and running right away, 771 
users will need to uncomment a line in 'ir-kbd-gpio.c'
"case BTTV_AVDVBT_771:". This hasn't been tested as far as I'm aware, 
so I'd be very interested to hear of any results from 771 users. At 
worst I suspect you'll need to sprinkle a few printk's to tell you what 
mask values are needed. Again, I'd be very interested in hearing the 
results.

Once the driver is going and device nodes are created, input from the 
remote will appear as keyboard input. Have a look at 
/proc/bus/input/devices

I've put in what I think are sensible defaults. But there wasn't always 
a sensible mapping between Avermedia remote and an equivalent 'KEY_'. 
But every key should produce something. You will still need some 
fiddling to map these key values to something that Myth will 
understand. The latest LIRC may be one possibility (I haven't tried 
this yet).
