HP USB IR + Veriozon/Motorola/Sony not working 7.95.3

  • My Lirc setup has stopped working, after upgrading from LE 7.0.3 to 7.95.2/3.
    I'm running a widely used HP OVU400102/71 USB Infrared Receiver + Veriozon/Motorola/Sony remote.
    (Sony RM-VLZ620)

    I have a custom lircd.conf. It has been working perfectly before, on Rasp1, Rasp2, and still working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

    Before I had in autostart.sh:

    killall lircd
    ir-keytable -p lirc
    lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 /storage/.config/lircd.conf.motorola

    Not working now, so I tried:
    Uncommented it, and renamed lircd.conf.motorola to lircd.conf - reboot.

    Same same.

    I've noticed that, when I press a button twice quickly, it "wakes up something", and most buttons work.
    If I don't do anything, for a minut or so, I have to press the same button (f.ex up/down) twice, to "wake it up".
    Still, the f.ex "Guide" button don't work as it used to. (no reponse)

    $irw - do not show a thing, when it should be active, but don't respond in remote keypresses.
    $irw - shows most, if it's "awake". Still no "Guide" button.

    Everything works with Yatse android remote. But...

    Here's some logs.

    I do not have another SD-Card to test on, sorry.

    And "mceusb 1-1.3:1.0: Error: urb status = -71" from dmesg, are on both Rasp1 + Rasp2 now.
    I don't know if it was there before, since I never noticed a problem.


    dmesg: ATNH
    lircd.conf: hPVO
    lsusb: WHUW


    Hope this helps another than me also.

  • remove your autostart.sh

    name your config lircd.conf
    and put it in /storage/.config/lircd.conf

    reboot.

    then see if it's working, if not try using irrecord to make a new lircd.conf
