New HTPC, Ubuntu 11.10 - Can't Send

[fergusf]

I am struggling greatly with IRTrans on linux. Here's where I am at the moment.

I have irserver64 running. I have created my own remote control using irclient for my denon receiver. The definition for that remote is attached. When I run a command like "/usr/local/irtrans/irclient 127.0.0.1 DENON_AVR_1909 OFF" it reaches the server (standard out is attached for the irserver). The single LED on the top of the unit blinks red once, but it does not affect the receiver. I have it 30 centimeters from the remote. The IR emitters do not produce any signal.

Here's the log for irserver

[IRTrans]

Hi,
in general there are two possible problems:

1. The Remote control has not been learned correctly. - The remote definition you have attached is not the one for your receiver. The name of your file should be denon_avr_1909.rem.
2. The settings of the IRTrans USB are incorrect. Please do not use the irclient for the device settings. Only use the GUI Client (with Mono on LINUX).

oops, here's my remote def - does the casing matter? I've used camel casing Denon_AVR verses denon_avr?

Hi,
upper/lower case does not matter.

The file itself looks good. I suppose a configuration problem - e.g. internal transmitters disabled.

I would suggest checking the settings using the GUI Client (NOT irremote!).

I plugged the IRTrans unit into a WinDoze box, installed the software, re-created the remote, copied it over to my linux computer and it worked. Thanks for the help,
