| [01:37:33] | justinh: | wowwww long time no see folks! Hope somebody can come up with an idea. Just updated to v35 from v34 on Ubuntu 24.04 using the mythbuntu PPA. Everything works fine except during any video playback mythfrontend is ignoring lirc button presses. irw is showing them as detected but they're not getting to the player. Anyone any ideas? I thought at first Wayland might be interfering but it's not that |
| [01:39:06] | justinh: | trying to build from source like in the old days but despite having build deps installed ./configure is complaining it can't find opengl etc grr. Not sure a source build would solve the problem of lirc presses not working during playback anyhow |

| [02:26:23] | Sabotender: | Wow, that's an interesting remote control method. I had considered that before in the past, when I assembled the components for my mythbox, but I believe Mack talked me down. 😛 do you happen to have a USB infrared receiver, or something? |
| [02:27:36] | mack: | I didn't think I talked you down from a remote. I assumed you were using one still. I might have mentioned I typically use another client so *that* handles the remote. |
| [02:29:31] | mack: | lirc was black magic — the kind that demands a terrible price to pay — when I first got started :-) |
| [02:29:33] | Sabotender: | also, Mack, what do you reckon about Kodi? is it worth installing, and giving it a go? I'm just trying to find a better de interlacing option. I want to thank you for your guidance on resolving the very poor quality video playback. The resolution needed to be correctly set. |
| [02:31:28] | Sabotender: | Oh, so that's what it was, then. The remote is decent, but, the build quality is not the best. I may upgrade very, very quick. |
| [02:33:15] | mack: | I switched to kodi for my primary TV clients because I liked how it handles the video library more than myth's Videos section. I know work has been done on Videos, so it might be a little different now. |
| [02:34:45] | Sabotender: | Ah, have you had a chance to test the video playback quality between that, and the stock frontend? |
| [02:37:58] | mack: | not in a long time. Waaaayy back when some people didn't like the myth playback and would use alternate players. That setting to change the player is still there. |
| [02:39:46] | mack: | not sure if that's only for Videos playback or for live tv playback, too |
| [02:40:35] | Sabotender: | Damnit, Now I wanna fiddle with Lirc |
| [02:41:50] | Sabotender: | sorry about that. My brain is every which way. I may give Kodi a go. I just hope it's fairly simple to set up. |

| [02:42:39] | mack: | there are some wiki pages for lirc |
| [02:43:36] | mack: | It might just work these days — the linux kernel has been updated many times since those articles were written. |
| [02:44:39] | Sabotender: | Aye to that. I'm mostly concerned about selecting a reparable IR receiver. |
| [02:45:48] | mack: | oof, yeah, I'm praying my Harmony remotes never die. One has buttons starting to fail now, though :-( |
| [02:48:47] | Sabotender: | lol wow, have your fingers rubbed off the screen printed letters on the membrane switches from overuse? |
| [02:52:16] | mack: | the button contacts just aren't... contacting. It might just need cleaning, but that one doesn't have screws and I don't want to risk snapping the plastic clips trying to get it apart to clean the contacts. |
| [02:52:29] | mack: | It's also pretty old, so more than the clips might snap, lol. |
| [02:56:02] | Sabotender: | lol,it sure sounds like it could use a pick me up. use a guitar pic to prise it open. |
| [02:58:47] | Sabotender: | Z0mg, I found a miniature flirc usb dongle, and I'm gonna get it 😛 |
