Hi,


What packages should I install to see my remote Medion X10 in the MLD-6.5 x86_64?
I use Reycom REC 100S2/CI.

[Marcin]

After installing vdr-plugin-remote VDR shows errors:

Code: [Select]

Hi,

all my external X10 USB receivers are working fine with MLD 6.5.
For a X10 receiver no extra packages are needed.
Remote controls can be configured in the MLD - WebIF under "Settings" - "Remote"
You should find your X10 Receiver there as "X10 WTI RF receiver"
With the button "Edit Keymap" you can map the Remote keys to the VDR functions.

[clausmuus]

Du you use a remote control receiver, that need the remote plugin? This plugin is only for such a special receiver.

[Marcin]

On my MLDHD I see only this:

[Marcin]

It's like that MLDHD doesn't see this remote.

[cs-7]

As far as I know, this remote is not an IR-remote, it's a RF-remote.There should bei a matching USB receiver, otherwise the PC can't listen to this remote.

Addition:
Oh, just looked up the Reycom REC 100S2/CI, looks like the RF receiver is build in.

[Marcin]

MLDHD 5.3 – recognizes the remote control, see below. I have now checked that the remote control is working.

[cs-7]

According to the MLD 5.3 output, there should be a usb device. In MLD 6.5 is "lsub" showing the device? You have to install usbutils to have text output, without usbutils you get only a numerical output.

[Marcin]

I have this:

[cs-7]

Just a guess, can you try loading the kernel module ati_remote  (modprobe ati_remote) and check the output of dmesg.

[Marcin]

Code: [Select]

usbcore: registered new interface driver ati_remote 


[cs-7]

I'm sorry, this was maybe misleading. My system also loads the diver and there is no rf device.
Is the X10 device listed in "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"?

There is no remote here?

[cs-7]

I'm not an expert but I think no the remote ist not listed in the input devices and this is maybe the reason why the remote is not recognized by the MLD interface. On the other hand the device is recognized by the usb subsystem and listed in the lsusb output.
