lirc

[Philip]

I have installed vlc on slackware 10.1 and am trying to get lirc to work with vlc.
Well, lirc actually works fine, stop, start and everything works.
Except for the dvd navigation buttons (LEFT,RIGHT,UP,DOWN and ACTIVATE).
I'm using native lirc support, no irxevent or something.
If I press one of the dvd navigation buttons I get:
[00000198] lirc interface warning: key-press failed
if I start vlc with -v

Anybody has a clue ?

You are correct, i just looked at this module and it seems it hasn't been updated in a while. It uses several quite outdated techniques.

I have changed the current code. A new syntax should now be used, which allows us 1:1 mapping of lirc events to VLC hotkeys.

Nice, thank you.
I'll try to test it tonight.

Please look at the new config file. (btw. the code is untested. i don't even know if it compiles)

Did a svn checkout and indeed it wouldn't compile.
There is a ')' missing at the end of line 145
After adding that and updated my .lircrc for the new names it seems to work great !

Thanks !
