LIRC Problem

[Paddy_B]

Hi Patrick ,  and kosto-stavr

I tried installing Lirc today for the latest Kernel and moOde version...Buster....

It does my head in that EVERY time there is a version change in Debian/Raspbian that Lirc is completely unusable...

The config file locations change... the links change... everything that worked for the last iteration now somehow doesn't...

It so predictable you would think that the Lirc and Debin/Raspbian Devs would flag it early....

But no.... it's left to the users to try and nut it out...playing with this and that scrap found here and there...

Like you, I tried the patch you linked and following that thread found that additional packages were needed for Buster Lite.... arrgh !

Still no joy....might have to wait until the dust settles and Lirc catches up...

Meanwhile, for working IR use an older version of moOde ....Stretch based... and check back often...

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

It was my failure, I'm using moode 5.3.1, Raspian 9.9, kernel 4.19.57-v7+

My files are still there after a reboot but when I try the command irw nothing happens.

Best regards,

I finally found out what's the solution for my problem and want to let know everybody who has the same problem.

Don't install the patch I've shared above on Raspbian Stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The patch is already included in the version 5.3.1 of Moode and it works without to do anything in additon.
When you install the patch irw will not work!!!!

All you have to do is to follow these instruction:

The command to start irrecord is      sudo irrecord -n -d /dev/lirc0    and you have to start it at the pi direction.

It took me some time but I hope I am able to help anybody how struggles with this.

Best regards from Austria,
