Weird.

You went through all this, I guess:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500#Remote_control

And you are running a recent v4l-dvb tree, I assume.

I was never too lucky with irrecord on my system, IIRC.

Ok - just thought I'd try the patch on the latest tree and see what happens... as expected, it put an end to the syslog flooding - but nothing really has improved... I still see a single error line in the syslog every time I press a key - so obviously the kernel is seeing something happen, but deciding it's unknown and not taking it any further. Something must be wrong with some mappings somewhere.. :S Here's the syslog output anyway - there is one line for every key press:

This is very annoying because it seems that polling the syslog every 150ms might even give you something if you could work it out ;) Anyway.. any ideas where to now...?

Cheers,

Matt
