So I'm inching closer to a viable mceusb driver submission -- both a first-gen and a third-gen transceiver are now working perfectly with multiple different mce remotes. However, that's only when I make sure the mceusb driver is loaded w/only the rc6 decoder loaded. When ir-core comes up, it requests all decoders to load, starting with the nec decoder, followed by the rc5 decoder, then the rc6 decoder and so on (init_decoders() in ir-raw-event.c). When I call ir_raw_event_handle, all decoders get run on the ir data buffer, starting with nec. Well, the nec decoder doesn't like the rc6 data, so it pukes. The RUN_DECODER macro break's out of the routine when that happens, and the rc6 decoder never gets a chance to run. (Similarly, if only ir-nec-decoder has been removed, the rc5 decoder pukes on the rc6 data, same problem). If I'm thinking clearly, rather than breaking out of the loop in RUN_DECODER, we really ought to be issuing a continue to go on to the next decoder, and possibly be accumulating failures, though I don't know that _sumrc actually matters other than "greater than zero" (i.e., at least one decoder was successfully able to decode the signal). If I'm not thinking clearly, a pointer to what I'm missing would be appreciated. :) The next fun thing I'm starting to look at is this MCE IR keyboard/mouse combo device I've got here[1]... It uses a Philips RC variant (I suspect RC-MM at first glance[2]) for the mouse functionality and most of the keyboard keys (except many of the multimedia keys, which are RC6 like their matching counterparts on the MCE remotes). There's a hack atop an old version of lirc_mceusb out there that supports this thing[3], which actually has some pretty decent looking documentation on its site (though the code itself is... well, its hacked in atop an old lirc driver...). Support for the keyboard can wait though. I think the issue w/RUN_DECODER is really all that still needs to be resolved for an initial submission.
