[pvrusb2] remote, radio and other issues

[leonardo]

I have not seen that problem.  However (and I imagine this doesn't help 
much) the only involvement of the pvrusb2 driver in IR is at the very 
lowest level: The pvrusb2 driver just provides an I2C control path to 
the IR receiver chip; the actual driver for the IR receiver comes from 
elsewhere (the lirc package or V4L itself depending on how you have 
things set up).  For 24xxx devices, the pvrusb2 driver also emulates 
the presence of the IR receiver chip but the outward result is the 
same.

ok, I noticed that if I fire up irw I see the right code of the last botton pushed, 
so I'm starting to think it's related to irexec. but can't figure it out now.
Somebody has an .irexec file to share?

So the short summary is that the pvrusb2 driver will work on xbox, but 
it takes some tweaking of a few xbox I2C drivers first.

this seems enough for wasting 80€ for an old xbox, see what happens and
then come to knock again... :-)
One more thing.. how does the driver work with an usb 1.1 port as the xbox has?

You will not be able to play the audio through kradio.  However you 
should be able to use kradio to tune the device and then another app 
(like mplayer) to play the audio.  Also realize that the PVR USB2 

ah.. I was missing that part. 

hardware uses a separate F-connector for FM radio reception.  If you 
still have the coax connected to the TV input F-connector, then the 
radio won't receive much :-)

I didn't quite get this, there are two separate connectos so why should 
one interfere with the other?  anyway, mplayer works..
The fact that kradio doesn't work is due to what? that it cannot read from an 
mpeg stream? it should produce some pcm or mp3 code?
 
thanks again Mike, 
leonardo.
