Run irw to see if the buttons are recognized by your lirc
configuration. If so, make sure the button names they trigger exactly
match the names in ~/.lirc/mythtv

Hi all,

I did a clean install of Mythbuntu; and selected the Hauppauge Nova T-500
remote control during the setup. However, only the direction buttons work
(Up, Down, Left, Right). I did a comparison of the lircd.conf file with the
one from the recommended site:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI

I don't know what else to do. Anyone have the same problem? How do I make
the other button works? Any help or suggestion would be greatly
appreciated.

Run irw to see if the buttons are recognized by your lirc configuration. If
so, make sure the button names they trigger exactly match the names in
~/.lirc/mythtv

Running irw gave me connection refused, and returned to command prompt.

If you get this and only the arrow buttons are working, it can mean only
one thing: your LIRC setup is not running.

For my HD Home Run I put the following in /etc/rc.local:
lircd -H udp -d 5000

Your parameters will be different.

Thank you everyone for the suggestion. This is a clean installation of
MythBuntu, so sometime the device event# is different from machine to
machine. I noticed that in the hardware.conf file and changed it to the
correct event#, reboot the machine, and it finally work XD

ah !

The official reference for all stuff concerning the card is here:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500

I try to keep it as up-to-date as possible, with help.

For the event number, you may be interested in thin paragraphs in
particular:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500#Genral_LIRC_settings

As you are using Mythbuntu, once you have the proper rule to generate a
fixed name, you may not want to edit the LIRC conf file directly, but
use the GUI and point it to the proper device name.

I may have Mythbuntu/Nova-t-500 tips and trick that could be of interest
on my web page too. See sig.

Just a friendly warning before someone bites your head off :-)

Please don't keep replying to existing threads with new titles. It
screws people up who use a threaded mail reader. I can let you off once
but twice in the same thread is unforgivable ;-). Basically don't reply
to an existing email then edit the title always create a new email if
it's a fresh subject. Thank you.

Paul H.
