Hi,

I have a fairly old dvico dual digital 4 tuner and remote.
There seem to be some issues with support for it, can I help fix them?

I am using ir-keytable 1.10.0-1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
with kernel 4.4.0-47-generic (package version 4.4.0-47-generic)

The remote's keymapping is the one in /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/dvico_mce;
kernel support for the device is in media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c.

Mostly it works, in that I get correct keycodes back from evtest
and ir-keytable -t. But I want to change some of the keycode mappings
and that is not working.

  # cat >testfile
  0xfe47 KEY_PAUSE
  ^D
  
  # ir-keytable -v -d /dev/input/event15 -w testfile
  Parsing testfile keycode file
  parsing 0xfe47=KEY_PAUSE:   value=119
  Opening /dev/input/event15
  Input Protocol version: 0x00010001
      fe47=0077
  Wrote 1 keycode(s) to driver

So far so good, yes? But evtest still reports the same keycode
for the key I tried to modify.

  # evtest
  <select device 15>
  <press PLAYPAUSE key on remote>
  Event: time 1479206112.262746, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 164 (KEY_PLAYPAUSE), value 1
  Event: time 1479206112.262746, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
  Event: time 1479206112.262760, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 164 (KEY_PLAYPAUSE), value 0
  Event: time 1479206112.262760, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
 
  # irkeytable -r -d /dev/input/event15 |grep PAUSE
  Enabled protocols: unknown rc-5 sony nec sanyo mce-kbd rc-6 sharp xmp 
  scancode 0xfe02 = KEY_PAUSE (0x77)
  scancode 0xfe47 = KEY_PLAYPAUSE (0xa4)

I thought that I might need to clear and replace the entire table
to get things working. This is where the problems really start.

First trying to clear the table causes an infinite loop.

  # ir-keytable -d /dev/input/event15 -c
  Opening /dev/input/event15
  Input Protocol version: 0x00010001
  Deleting entry 1
  Deleting entry 2
  Deleting entry 3
  Deleting entry 4
  ....
  Deleting entry 2114689
  Deleting entry 2114690
  ^C

Then I tried to load a modified version of dvico_mce
The whole file was there, with just this change:

The program seems to parse the modified file ok but then
segaults while reading from the input device.

I suspect the problem here is rc-core is not used and 
legacy_dvb_usb_setkeycode has a bug (it has several problems).

It would be nicer if we could move it rc-core, but for that to work
we need to know what scancodes remote sends (and in what protocol).
A scancode of 0xfe47 is not a valid RC5 scancode.

Would it be possible to test the remote with another device (say an
usb mce receiver or so) and see what scancodes it sends? Then we can
translate the keymap to a real one and make the cxusb driver send
correct scancodes to rc-core.

So are you saying that the hex codes in the rc_map_dvico_mce_table
struct are invalid (at least in some cases)?

How can I tell what protocol is in use?
0x00010001 doesn't mean much to me; I did search the linux source
for the code but didn't find any helpful matches.

Great idea. Do you mean something like [1]?
Or the (presumably generic) receiver that comes with [2]?
Would a FLIRC work?

Probably dumb question - in this machine I also have
an iMon Remote (152c:ffdc)
and Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle Dual
Do you think either of those would be helpful?
I tried evtest with them and the remote, no responses.

Most likely the remote produces IR in a standard protocol (e.g. rc5, rc6). 
If we first get the keymap right then the remote can be used with any 
IR receiver that can deal with its protocol; conversely, if we know 
what protocol the IR receiver can receive, and we make it produce the 
scancodes in the right format, it can then be used with any remote that 
uses the protocol it understands.

So at the moment we don't know what protocol it is, and even if it is 
rc5 then some bit shifting might be needed to make it into a proper
rc5 scancode (both driver and keymap).

At the moment it's not easy to determine what protocol an remote uses;
I would like to change that but for now, the following is probably
the easiest way.

cd /sys/class/rc/rc1 # replace rc1 with your receiver
for i in $(<protocols); do echo +$i > protocols; done
echo 3 > /sys/module/rc_core/parameters/debug
journal -f -k

Protocol numbers are defined in enum rc_type, see include/media/rc-map.h

Yes, it would be a receiver like that.

It's not clear what usb receiver it uses.

I hadn't heard of flirc, looks like it doesn't have a kernel driver. Maybe
I'll go and get one. :)

Looks like it's neither rc6 nor nec then.

If you don't have the right receiver then all of this a bit academic.
Maybe it's possible to port to rc-core with the existing scancodes.

Ah. Here we have a problem. The device (/dev/input/event15)
doesn't have a corresponding rcX node, see ir-keytable output below.
I had it explained to me like this:

  A "HID" device is basically any input device that resembles
  a keyboard or mouse (Human Interface Device). The label may also cover
  things like joysticks, etc. It does /not/ include remotes, so it
  seems, since "remote" can cover a wide variety of input devices.

  Some remotes can emulate fully or partially keyboard keypresses
  which is why they can be treated as HID devices. Of course, not all
  the keys may be mapped correctly or at all.

I may have given bad information here - I need to check whether the
IR receivers for these devices are properly connected. That might be
why there was no response...

Thanks for your help so far

So I checked on the ir receivers and found the rc1 device ir receiver
was indeed blocked (haven't checked rc0 properly, time is short)

I tested it with evtest and the remote that comes with the device

# evtest /dev/input/event16
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x413 product 0x6a05 version 0x200

^C

I tried to load a keymap but got another segfault

# ir-keytable -p nec -d /dev/input/event16 -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce 
Read rc6_mce table
Wrote 63 keycode(s) to driver
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can't find a -dbg package so can't give you a useful backtrace
at the moment.

Anyway: trying the same evtest with the dvico remote
evtest /dev/input/event16
<volumedown>

So something is connecting via IR.
Out of time now, more later

I tried this with the rc1 device as a test. I get this odd result:
# cat protocols
nec
# echo '+nec' > protocols
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

and ir-keytable still shows no protocols enabled
# ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event5) with:
    Driver imon, table rc-imon-mce
    Supported protocols: rc-6 
    Enabled protocols: rc-6 
    Name: iMON Remote (15c2:ffdc)
    bus: 3, vendor/product: 15c2:ffdc, version: 0x0000
    Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
Found /sys/class/rc/rc1/ (/dev/input/event16) with:
    Driver dvb_usb_af9035, table rc-empty
    Supported protocols: nec 
    Enabled protocols: 
    Name: Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle Dual
    bus: 3, vendor/product: 0413:6a05, version: 0x0200
    Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

I messed around some more with ir-keytable and got more segfaults
if I try to use the -d argument.

# ir-keytable -d /dev/input/event16 -p NEC -p RC6 -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce 
Read rc6_mce table
Wrote 63 keycode(s) to driver
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

-s at least doesn't segfault, but doesn't advance the cause.

# ir-keytable -s rc1 -p NEC -p RC6 -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce 
Read rc6_mce table
Wrote 63 keycode(s) to driver
/sys/class/rc/rc1//protocols: Invalid argument
Couldn't change the IR protocols


# ir-keytable -s rc1 -p NEC -w /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/winfast
Read winfast table
Wrote 56 keycode(s) to driver
/sys/class/rc/rc1//protocols: Invalid argument
Couldn't change the IR protocols
