xine --keymap=lirc
Is a useful command to run. I redirected it to a file and appended an edited copy to my existing lircrc for mythtv.
I used to run irxevent, but am now using mythtv’s builtin support. I had to symlink ~/.lircrc to ~/.mythtv/lircrc
I have a Winfast TV Deluxe 2000 (or some such thing). The lircrc file I’m using now is lircrc
