[Deprecated} Using the Flirc USB for remote control with mOde 5.4+

[rh2018]

Hi Kent,

It seems the problem was the Flirc USB dongle sharing the powered USB hub with the external USB optical drive.


Moving Flirc to the RPi, after three days testing with a fresh moode 6.4.2 install, Triggerhappy IR and CDPlay no glitches have occurred.

In explanation of a comment in my earlier post http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.p...0#pid16600  - "I had to power down via script KEY P: power.sh"

Code:

#!/bin/bash
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

Triggerhappy works fine with all mpc or commands that don't require root privileges but THD executes commands like "sudo shutdown -h now" as User "nobody" and the command fails.

A little Googling found the solution:

Hope this helps.
