[linux-dvb] Re: Idea how to get Aver dvb-t 771 Remote Control to work?

[Andreaz@t-online.de (Andreas Witte)]

hello List, hello Matt.

Ive got some time and tried again to get this to work. I changed
the files as you wrote. But i think it won't work. I can load
the ir-kbd-gpio module... should dmesg show up any message if
it find the averdvb771 remote? The other thing is, how can i
readout any keypressings? This all is really dark and cryptic
to me.. sorry!

Ive loaded down the latest snapshot of video4linux, change
bttv-cards (iirc) and ir-kbd-gpio, compile and install it.

Loaded down input, compile and install it.

ir-kbd-gpio is loading, but without any message and i dunno
how i can test any keypressings on remote.

A little help here would be nice.

(I think it's somewhat ot here?)

Regards,
Andreas

Try getting the latest V4L from bytesex.org.

I made some changes there a while back but have been waiting for
someone with the 771 card to ask. I've got the 761 card and that code
works great for me. It doesn't require the lirc driver. Although some
tweaking is still be required to map keys to those expected by Myth.

If you look at ir-kbd-gpio.c. At line 326, there is a case statement.
Try uncommenting the
/* case BTTV_AVDVBT_771: */
also in bttv-cards.c line 2078, the '#if 0' needs to be set to '1'.
Rebuild and install.

The mask seen there is correct for the 761 card, but I haven't been
able to test the 771 version. Now, with a bit of luck, once the modules
are running (remembering to run the ir-kbd-gpio module) you should get
key events when you press keys on the remote.

If you don't, double check that everything is running by looking at
/proc/bus/input/devices. If everything is fine you'll need to work out
the correct values for 'ir->mask_keycode' and 'ir->mask_keydown'. Not
rocket science, adding a printk did the job for me.

I'd also be interested to find out whether the remote control key codes
are listed correctly in the ir-kbd-gpio.c KEY_ table (line 78).

I hope this helps.

Matt
