IR remote hvr1270

  • I have a Hauppauge HVR1250 PCIe with a built-in IR receiver with the correct cable. No response from ir-keytable -t.

    Tvheadend works for OTA live TV.

    dmesg says it sees the card and the IR. I have tried installing lirc. I have done

    Code
    modprobe cx23885 enable_885_ir=1


    no joy.

    Installed and setup lirc like I had on my RPi; no help.

    I found this solution that sounds like it will work for my particular card; HVR1250 that the computer sees as a HVR1270 with a CX23885 chip. cx23885: Add IR Rx support for HVR-1270 boards - Patchwork

    The only problem for me is I have absolutely no idea how to go about using the patch. The author says it's a "simple cut and paste", to what where? It may not even apply to kernel 4.9. Any help appreciated.

    The patch is all the way at the end.

    dmesg
