Infrared Remote Control / lirc / Please help...

[Pflaume]

Hy,
I am trying to get the lirc (--extraintf lirc) to work with VLC.
I could't find any HowTo's or an documantation for that.

In the Moment I have the following Setup:

Lirc is working on my Mandrake (2005) VLC 0.8.2

I have a .lircrc like the one in /doc/vlc/lirc...

When I startup vlc I get the message:
lirc interface error: lirc_init failed

As a nice "Thank you" I will post a complete "Howto lirc VLC" in the Wiki after soving this Problem...

Also, it would be interisting with wich kind of RC Software other VLC users trying to control VLC.


Thanks for your Help!
