Hi When running lircd from the current lirc-0.6.5.ebuild, the daemon stop when starting xmms with the lirc support enabled, or when enabling the plugin from XMMS. I get the followig error in my lircd log file: Dec 15 18:55:37 nexus6.musikcheck.dk lircd-0.6.5: lircd(any) ready Dec 15 18:55:40 nexus6.musikcheck.dk lircd-0.6.5: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Dec 15 18:55:40 nexus6.musikcheck.dk lircd-0.6.5: could not get hardware features Dec 15 18:55:40 nexus6.musikcheck.dk lircd-0.6.5: this device driver does not support the new LIRC interface Dec 15 18:55:40 nexus6.musikcheck.dk lircd-0.6.5: make sure you use a current version of the driver Dec 15 18:55:40 nexus6.musikcheck.dk lircd-0.6.5: caught signal I have compiled the lirc0.6.6 from the source on the lirc site and it works fine with the XMMS plugin. I have made the severity major because think it is one of the main usages for lirc. I am sorry if it is not right. Best Regards Hasse
I'm running lirc with libirman. lircd stops for me when i run irw or irexec. I see the same error messages in my log. I'm not 100 per cent sure its not a config problem on my part but on the face of it its very similar to Hasse's problem Hasse are you using an irman? Mark
I can confirm Hasse's comments. Installing from source went fine. I guess its just passing the correct configure options for particular hardware. Mark
